No. Increase funding for Crystal meth / slamming research and treatment.

No focus on jailing meth addicts instead

Mitigate the presence of the technological industrial system. It is the root cause of widespread depression and mental health issues.

 @8RSTXFT from Arizona  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but people should be made more aware of the issues surrounding mental health.

Government should just stay out of mental health.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

How has a personal challenge or struggle changed your perspective on seeking help or support?

Only when we have extra funding.

 @42ZSFS2answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, but only if the research includes studying transgenders and homosexuals.

 @8QRCFQP from Tennessee  answered…4yrs4Y

No private companies will address this instead

  @michaelconnely from Nebraska  answered…3yrs3Y

Our medical establishment is corrupt and needs completely redesigned.

 @IINXMP from Pennsylvania  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but we should entirely cut taxes on companies that provide healthcare, garbage disposal, education, and emergency services.

 @8M64XKW from Georgia  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, but we should bring back insane asylums instead.

 @8NY4BWF from Texas  answered…5yrs5Y

This is. a much larger question than yes vs. no. Depends on the mental illness, what the plan to help individuals would be and what happens with the research?

 @8P4J799 from Wisconsin  answered…5yrs5Y

Only if they also decrease funding for something else

 @8P8TVTS from California  answered…5yrs5Y

We need to heavily scrutinize current psychological research standards. This area needs effective funding not to be the money hole that it is.

 @8WRGD39 from North Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

it should stay the same

 @8XPV4DF from South Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, this would help decrease the homeless population in some places

No, health is not a government issue

 @92DQP2K from Pennsylvania  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes and also incentivize private companies to address this issue as well.

Netanyahu's Pre-Inauguration Gift to Trump: A Lebanon Cease-Fire Deal"

A close aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Donald Trump and Jared Kushner this week that Israel is rushing to advance a cease-fire deal in Lebanon, according to three current and former Israeli officials briefed on the meeting, with the aim of delivering an early foreign policy win to the president-elect.Ron Dermer, Netanyahu’s minister of strategic affairs, made Mar-a-Lago the first stop on his U.S. tour Sunday before traveling to the White House to update Biden administration officials on the state of Lebanon talks, a sign of how swiftly America’s political center of gravity has shifted after Trump’s electoral victory.“There is an understanding that Israel would gift something to Trump … that in January there will be an understanding about Lebanon,” an Israeli official said. Like others in this article, the official spoke to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations.Trump has said he wants to bring an end to the wars in the Middle East, but he also told Netanyahu in a call last month to “do what you have to do” against Hezbollah and Hamas. It is unclear what impact, if any, the Lebanon proposal discussed at Mar-a-Lago would have on stalled cease-fire and hostage-release talks in Gaza.“Netanyahu has no loyalty to Biden and will be focused entirely on currying favor with Trump,” said Frank Lowenstein, a former special envoy for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations under President Barack Obama who served during the transition to the first Trump administration. If 2016 is any indication, he added, “Trump won’t hesitate to act like he’s already president when he sees an opportunity.”

Iran Warns to U.S. Allies Don’t Help Israel, or You’re Next

Tehran is threatening in secret diplomatic backchannels to target the oil-rich Arab Gulf states and other American allies in the Middle East if their territories or airspace are used for an attack on Iran, said Arab officials.Israel has threatened Tehran with a severe reprisal after Iran fired about 180 ballistic missiles at Israel earlier this month, with some Israeli officials and commentators pushing for damaging strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities or oil infrastructure. In that event, Iran has warned it would respond with devastating hits on Israel’s civilian infrastructure, and would retaliate against any Arab state that facilitated the attack, the officials said.The Arab officials said the countries that Iran has threatened include Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, all of which host U.S. troops. These states have told the Biden administration that they don’t want their military infrastructure or airspace to be used by the U.S. or Israel for any offensive operations against Iran, the officials said. While the Iranian threats are vague, they have raised concerns in energy-rich Persian Gulf states that their oil facilities—long viewed as protected by an American security umbrella—could be hit, the Arab officials said. U.S. military installations and forces in the region could also be at risk in a region with one of the highest concentrations of American troops in the world, they added.While the Iranian threats are vague, they have raised concerns in energy-rich Persian Gulf states that their oil facilities—long viewed as protected by an American security umbrella—could be hit, the Arab officials said.
