My father, while in the Army, was part of military studies with LSD and other drugs. He transferred to the Air Force a little later. He retired after 22 years, but said that he still felt residual effects until his death ten years after retirement. I've been retired from the Army for quite a while, and I sometimes wonder what my children will learn after I'm gone.

Here's one, the mental health industry doesn't want to actually help. They make far too much profits when people are depressed

[@Zman9042]

If you’re speaking about the side of the industry that makes medications, I can agree the big companies just want your money. If you’re speaking about the everyday mental health counselors, I would argue most have the best intentions for their clients. Depression is partly chemical imbalance, part is healthy coping mechanisms. The role is more to help others understand and confront their issues both past and present in a healthy way. It’s getting to a level of maintaining rather than “fixing” because 100% fixing isn’t possible

[@LDixon007]

'Watergate' was not the worst of these scandals, just the most famous. It was "business as usual" in the world of politics.

[@bobbyjackson4452]

Regarding the Iran-Contra Scandal: For those who were born after 1990, this is just one of many illegal or unethical acts perpetrated by the Reagan administration. This actually started around 1979 when then candidate Reagan, or his team, reached out to Iran to ensure the US hostages would not be released before the November 1980 presidential election. After he won, Reagan continued this covert relationship with Iran by, again covertly, arming the Iraqis and Iranians in their 8-year war. The arms for hostages part was to keep Iran & Iraq busy & stalemated in war. They hung is all on Oliver North (who did have a huge part in it), but later his convictions were reversed (as expected).

I've always been interested in conspiracies, and always thought my dad wasn't interested in any and definitely didn't believe any. Then, one night when he was drinking maybe 15ish years ago he started talking about how absurd the government's story on JFK's assassination was. He's an extremely intelligent and logical person, very straight laced. Made me so proud.

@@Loki087 I remember seeing a poll once, about conspiracy theories and what percentage of Americans believe them, and the highest ranked one was that the government was involved in JFK's killing. I think more than half of people polled. I'm not gonna claim to have all the answers, but one thing that seems pretty certain is that the established narrative we were told to believe is complete BS, so many things about his killing just don't make sense and don't add up.

One good thing that came out of Watergate was Nixon’s recognition that resignation was better than facing a Senate trial if the House had impeached him. While there’s no excusing his role in the scandal, he still did the right thing in the end.

There's also the whole thing about how someone who didn't like Nixon made sure that was orchestrated without his knowledge

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

The tobacco companies knew the connection between smoking and cancer in the late 1940s. It took 50 years to bust them. In the meantime, they made money hand over fist. Once busted, they asked how much the fine would be and wrote the check. Companies, especially large ones, shouldn't be trusted any more than governments.
