The Government Doesn't Care About Your Mental Health
from Harvey Weinstein's Overturned Conviction & TikTok Ban | The Tim Dillon Show #390 · #390
4 min
Tim riffs on how the US doesn't actually care about citizens' mental health or privacy, using his mother's schizophrenia and difficulty institutionalizing her, plus the viral Bin Laden letter TikTok controversy as evidence.
- The government doesn't care if your children are mentally ill—they won't ban food additives or fund mental health because they have no investment in it.
- This country isn't designed to help people's mental health; citizens live without insurance, one car accident away from financial collapse.
- Tim's mother was schizophrenic and had to be institutionalized; getting someone into a mental hospital is very difficult because Medicare won't pay.
- Mentally ill people are punching others on New York streets and walking around because laws prevent commitment and nobody wants to fund their care.
- The government doesn't care about privacy—the Chinese spy on us with TikTok and the government does the same thing.
- A Bin Laden letter went viral on TikTok and young girls were sexually attracted to him, which got him big on the platform.
- Young kids are now turning against the U.S. war machine because of the Israel-Gaza conflict, which the government doesn't want happening.
- The U.S. keeps giving Ukraine billions in aid, which results in dead kids, while everyone debates Gaza.
