So rather than them fix the problem they left the “crazies” to fend for themselves. Sad.

Still true, except it happens in prison instead of the hospital.

Not White Culture ... this is American Culture!

No easy answers there.

FDA poised to ban menthol cigarettes this week, experts predict
The action would not remove menthol tobacco from stores immediately, but rather kick off the rule-making process to do so, which could take several years.

They already don’t have much to lose, it’d be heartless to take away their packs of ports and mickey’s on the same day. You’re just asking for riots and people to be shot by the police at that point.

So,if people wonder about the connection, just listen for the next half minute.[Ralph chuckles]Mass transit suppressed by corporations like General Motors. Who suffers the most?Poor people.They don't have any other way to get around or get to work from the inner city to the suburbs,for example, where they clean houses for the wealthy.Housing discrimination--the landlord and realtor industry. What they did in Chicago and other cities has been well-
documented in gentrification, driving people out of areas. Labor--underpaying Black workers has been a crime for years, including not paying them billions of dollars a year, where they don't even get the pay that they've earned. Consumer abuse--the poor pay more.Minorities make up a lot of the poor. They're ripped off more in the inner city.It even goes to the point of corporate prisons.The criminal injustice,the bail bond racket;commercialism everywhere, exploiting. When we did the study on standardized tests, the first one, Michael, it was quite clear that the best way to judge the outcome of these tests by the students was by income level.Because if you live in Scarsdale and your house is safe, et cetera, you're more likely to do better on these SATs than if you work in dungeon type tenements; you live in dungeon type tenements where you can barely avoid freezing in the winter. So that's the corporation too,the Educational Testing Service[ETS]. And it just continues across.The dispossession of Black farmers.By who?By commercial interests. Slavery.By who?Commercial interests, the giant cotton plantations. So,I want to get your thoughts on the impact of this with one final point.I would go to the [Congressional] Black Caucus in the [US] Congress years ago when they were chairs of important committees, you know, Judiciary Committee, Ways and Means Committee. And I could never get any of them to do investigative hearings on what life was like in the inner city--the loan sharks, the payday loan rackets,the rent-to-own rackets, the landlord abuses,the lack of adequate food outlets, dumping contaminated meat and other food into the inner cities,because there's no likelihood of any reporting or consumer protection. I couldn't get any yes. I actually had to get Dennis Kucinich,who had a subcommittee with no legislative authority,to have a couple of days hearings. And then there was Eric Lipton's article in the New York Times in 2011,about how these corporations are smothering the Black Caucus with few exceptions with campaign contributions and with support for their annual convention, et cetera. It's not a happy story, Michael,and I’d really love to hear your reaction to this, and one we're going to get far more emphasis on the corporate domination of our political economy and how it particularly skewers the most defenseless of Americans
....Ralph Nader: And,you know, people say, well, these [are] loan sharks, you know, what do you expect? But they're financed by Wall Street.The link to the banks and the banks don't want the business of poorpeople. So,there are tens of millions of poor people, many minorities, unbanked. They're exposed to huge fees forjust cashing checks or making remittances. They can't get loans. The corporations destroyed the Postal Savings [System] bank inside the [US] Post Office in 1966, which allowed low-income people to have savings and engage in banking services all overthe country. We haven't even started talking about health. The Johns Hopkins [University] study five years ago, Michael, it was a one-day story. And here's what they found,the physicians,that due to preventable problems in hospitals, 5,000 people a weekdie in this country--5,000 a week. You can only imagine what the income levelsof most of these people are.
