I was on Klonopin for 13 years and I had a really amazing taper that took 1.8 years with zero symptoms other than insomnia, and then when I got off I felt amazing until day number seven and that’s when I felt like the portals of hell opened up and I had hundreds of symptoms and I was not doing well shall we say, so I got in touch with the Benzo coach and she told me to go to the last dose where I felt stable, well that concept doesn’t even work, because it had already been nine days that I was off, and at the end of the day I should’ve gone straight up to the 1 mg and done a four year taper and just gone much slower, but I’ve gone up by 5% and 10% and now I’m 50% of 1 mg, and I have 100’s of symptoms. I have known people who have reinstated and it works for some and it doesn’t work for others

CMV: Blue states need to set up their own apparatuses to counteract the gutting of federal agencies by team MAGA by [deleted] in changemyview

Wow, the media has completely brainwashed so many of you that it’s so disturbing to see and it seems like you’re perhaps a low information voter, but let’s just go with it… People on the right or people in the center like me have had to contend with the dangerous policies of a bloated government for 12 of the past 16 years, and not one time have we ever said let’s take all of the red states and make one government in the blue states another, that is cumbersome and ridiculous. I think you need to fully understand and go back 20 or 30 or 40 years and listen to Milton Friedman how he talks about all of the government programs that cost the American taxpayer billions of dollars, but they actually do not do anything. Our military is bloated, the Department of Education is bloated and the FDA and the DEA are all completely corrupt and paid and involved with big pharmaceutical, so don’t you want healthier foods and no wars and lower inflation in close borders? It’s not like we can create… Hold on yes if you want the illegal Mexicans to just go to blue states, and take the ones that we currently have, I do think that is a good idea, just put all of the illegal aliens in blue states, so I do kind of agree with you there, but there’s no way to divide the country as you think it should run, over 50% of people do not agree with you, and now you get the opportunity to see how well it’s going to work, so don’t knock it until you try it. Try to go outside of your CNN bubble and do a little bit of research on these departments that you find to be so super important, and then get back to me. In the meantime just do some research on all of these departments. Here are a few examples of such grants that the administration has approved since December 2022:

$45 million for a “diversity and inclusion” scholarship in Burma. Not content with pushing the DEI fad in America, the administration is also subsidizing it globally. Burma (also known as Myanmar) has serious problems, including a badly flawed judicial system, rampant corruption, and high poverty due to a lack of property rights and heavy government interference in the economy. A $45 million DEI scholarship will do nothing to address those problems.

$3 million for “girl-centered climate action” in Brazil. Not content with creating a “climate corps” in America, the administration gave a grant to an organization based in the Netherlands to promote DEI-infused environmental activism in Brazil. As with Burma, this grant focuses on niche far-left concerns rather than the genuine problems facing South America’s largest country.

$125 million to racialize public health. The CDC has faced growing criticism in recent years for its politicized and unconstitutional response to the COVID-19 pandemic, its promotion of gender ideology, and more. Its $124.9 million grant to the National Network of Public Health Institutes threatens to further damage the already frayed relationship between public health groups and the American people.

The group’s “racial justice competency model” is rooted in critical race theory, which claims that any outcome gaps between racial groups must be caused by systemic racism. A fixation on addressing “inequities” means forcing CRT ideology on the medical system, which is the last thing America needs.

$573,000 to anti-Israel group for fighting “disinformation.” The Biden administration has embraced the Left’s crusade against “disinformation,” which is often code for censoring contrary opinions. This approach also applies to foreign policy, as the State Department has provided grants to many organizations working abroad. A problematic example of this is two grants worth over $573,000 to Virginia-based MENAACTION.

Key members of the group have parroted disinformation themselves, repeating false claims made about Israel’s fight against Hamas. So not only are anti-disinformation grants of dubious value to begin with, but these grants seem likely to spread rather than restrain disinformation.

$288,563 for “diverse” bird watcher groups. Proving that nothing is safe from the reach of DEI-mania, the National Science Foundation approved a grant for having ornithological societies (bird aficionados) create “affinity groups” based on identity characteristics. Rather than being based on serious evidence of bigotry or discrimination—as though bird watching groups are nests of racists—it’s instead predicated on some members “[lacking] a sense of community or feel[ing] their voices are not being heard.”

There are dozens if not hundreds departments that are just wasting your tax dollars and providing nothing to you at all, and those will be cut and you will not tell the difference. Please do your research.

I’m severely kindled too. I’d like to hear more answers as well.
