there are freakout posts every hour or so on r/adhd. desperate plans to amass a huge petition of signatures, or challenge it legally with a class act. lawsuit, but mostly a lot of despair and disbelief. also some blaming of the so-called undeserved adderall users that are allegedly the official reason for the shortage...and something about tiktok users.

it's bad and capitalism is certainly the reason why. i'd like to understand the nuance of it more though if anyone had some good leftist takes on it.

    Step one: Prescribe thousands of children with adderall

    Step two: Force the now-adults to have withdrawls

    Capitalist "healthcare" torture time.

      yep 100%
      but what if it sent people into a big enough rage to start thinking a lot more about how we are in a class war? material conditions are definitely being affected because of it
