He gets so close-

Violent crime has risen over precisely the period we have shuttered these psychiatric institutions. And you know what? The number one psychiatric institution today is jail. It’s prison. And they don’t do a very good job. And now you then get the calls to clear the jails or to have commuting of sentences or shortening of sentences. People leave those jails in a worse psychiatric condition, often, than when they even entered.

Yes! Yes!

We can do this again learning from past mistakes without those abuses. I don’t think I want to be pumping psychiatric institutions with pharmaceuticals into people.

Seems reasonable.

Faith-based approaches – there are better ways to do this.

Oh for fuck’s sake.

And, of course, the ironic thing is that Ramaswamy is a pharma bro.

    Ramaswamy is a pharma bro.

    Seems not to be the greatest salesman from my point of view. Unless he sells faith in a vial.

      He’s selling himself for a job in Trump’s cabinet, so he’s a better salesman than you think. He’s already rich off the pharma investments. I just like the irony.

        Yeah, but this isn’t a job he got yet. And greedy assholes are never rich enough, they need more.
