  • It’s almost like drug addicts are still people who deserve to be treated like people. Throwing them in jail and subjecting them to police brutality does not help anyone except the fake numbers game of the police. If you really want to help people with addictions you have to be willing to work with them and treat the problems at the source rather than resort to punitive measures for no reasons.
















  • If you look at the data, it tells you about 1/3 of those who are illiterate comes from foreigners so that is not surprising. But the largest demographic of illiterates in the US is white people lol

    Also they are functionally illiterate. It’s a wide encompassing term that ranges from people who can’t read English because they just moved here to people who can only read basic words like stop and go or words they encounter often in life but not much more than that.

    I would imagine many people who are functionally illiterate just go to work, watch tv, and sleep.
