We Are No Longer Free

I hope you've had fun, folks, because it's all over now. We can no longer claim that The United States is a free country.
Our rights have been slowly taken away over several years now, and lately the Federal Government has been upping the ante.
The first thing in the recent snowball our wonderful politicians have rolled down the bullshit hill at us, is the horrendous tax bill that is going to fuck everyone who isn't rich, and not even give us the courtesy of lube. The only people this bill is going to help, in any way at all, is the super rich, who don't even need the help! There are people in this country who are homeless and starving, but how could Donald's friends ever survive without being able to afford that second mansion? This has gone beyond ridiculous, and skyrocketed straight to absolutely insane!
Then, we have the repeal of Net Neutrality, even though 83% of people polled were against the repeal. These agencies are supposed to be working for us, yet, they just did the exact opposite of what the people wanted! They need removed. Once again, this is only putting more money into the pockets of the super rich, while being an absolute detriment to the average citizen. So, I hope you enjoy reading my opinion, while you still can, because ISP's will be free to censor any content they don't like, and I know they don't like opinions that paint them as the money grubbing bastards they are.
Now, we get to the one that has angered me the most. The FDA and the DEA are trying to take away any supplements that aid people in not needing prescription medications. They have especially targeted Kratom, a plant related to coffee, that has helped people with opioid addiction. They literally made up their own, false, science to convince people it is some dangerous drug. It is not. It has shown to be non-addictive, and every death the FDA has blamed on Kratom has shown other dangerous drugs in the person's system, such as Fentanyl and Benzodiazepines, which the FDA has approved. Just like the issues above, this all comes down to money. The FDA is absolutely in the pocket of the big pharmaceutical companies. If people are no longer using the poison that these companies distribute, they lose money. Greed over human life
If anyone would like more info on any of these issues, I am more than happy to point you in the right direction. I may do this again soon, if I am able to. We may all be sitting in concentration camps by then.
