The way Russel talks is incredible. Every word has so much meaning.

Biggest take away, I could've been squatin in rusty's la abode for the last 3 years lol

San Francisco hasn't kicked the homeless out of the many hotels and motels they bought to house them. It's an ongoing experiment and kudos to them for trying at great expense. Addiction is a disease, not a breakdown of morality or a law enforcement problem. That much is clear.

[@TheNaturalust]

@@TruthHurts-rd8gc oh piss off. That’s not according to me, it’s according to the best minds in science and medicine. And plenty of diseases stay in the body and recur, shingles for instance in a virus that caused chicken pox. I certainly isn’t some moral failure of breakdown. Get an education.

Can ANYONE answer this question? Why has Chicago Fire tv series been suggesting that Fentanyl be given to first responders' patients? I'm a fan of the show. I feel like I ABSOLUTELY have to say that. My questions keeps getting taken down by other websites, such as Quora and Reddit. Is it really this taboo to as a question about NBCUniversal or Comcast? Are there questions that citizens are not permitted to ask? I'm looking all over the internet with not even a single article written about the topic. I wonder why is that? I'm positive I'm not the only viewer to notice it. What is the connecting between Fentanyl and the Chicago Fire tv series???

[@LtGregoryStevens]

Are you asking why Fentanyl would he used in the case of a person being injured? Fentanyl is used by doctors everyday to treat pain and if someone's leg is crushed or they are in other such extreme pain it's common to administer Fentanyl. It's not dangerous when administered at proper dosages.

[@boost1728]

My grandma used fentanyl patches for pain management. What’s the big deal? Seems you’re approaching the topic from a misuse/abuse standpoint

[@bofad6074]

Fentanyl is very good for extreme pain, the issue is its dangerous in unknown quantities aka street drugs. In a medical context its actually super safe. Like 99% of overdoses are reversible anyway

[@mp6732]

Would love for Joe to invite Russell and Dr Peterson in the same podcast

[@sirrichter5336]

Love this idea!

[@fishfingers8441]

True, I think it’d have to be to address a specific event/ topic though since JP and Russell have spoken so many times

[@sensei9431]

OMG that would be sooo good

[@Daniel-yr8yc]

Peterson went for Israeli propaganda, that shocked me. He is not so intelligent after all . I won't see his shows now....he is fake

[@murrieta49]

Despite what he says he’s quite the capitalist with multiple homes vehicles and and a diversified portfolio

[@dontcare7086]

He neglects to inform joe that they were housed using taxpayer money. The British government even paid for and delivered alcohol to these homes and hotels they put the homeless in with taxpayer money so they wouldn't go into withdrawal and flood the hospitals. They also had a methadone delivery service that did the same thing. British taxpayers paid for hotels, alcohol and methadone daily delivery and food. It didn't solve homelessness because it didn't help them find jobs and treat their mental health issues. That's why taxpayers weren't on board for it. If after the pandemic they could've shown data proving it cost X amount to house, treat, food, clothe, provide mental health care, then job placement over a 3 year period the public would agree to pay for it. Instead they just housed and provided food, methadone, alcohol, a clothing allowance, and no progress was made getting these people back into society. Government incompetence threw away a great opportunity to say look "if you we take a extra 5 cents out of every paycheck we can house and treat our homeless well integrating them back into society. Eventually the newly integrated will bring in X amount of tax revenue a year lowering your overall taxes". This opportunity was squandered.

@@dontcare7086 And yet the goverments is paying for thousands of illegal immigrants to stay in hotels right now.

[@Fnelrbnef]

Is your point that if you're critical of capitalism, you better live on the street or you're a hypocrite? I'm critical of capitalism (more so of communism). But had I had the money, I'd buy two yachts. One for me and one for my parents, an old school pirate ship, a submarine, a mansion on every continent, apartments in every major city, a medieval castle on a cliff, a daaaym comfy private jet, personal chefs, multiple trophy wives, a dragon, a football team. I'd use that money like a maniac, Idgaf.

[@simoncass9700]

i remember 2019aug, boris Johnson said there be no homeless people in 2020october in uk, 🤔✌❤

[@stephenstuckey]

Still waiting for his story of being a drug addict.

[@martinpanks992]

Russel seems to talk "at" people instead of "to" people.

[@xxLonniExx]

Yes, capitalism is apocalypse.

[@AmericanNope]

Sure is headed that way it seems
