Free Crack Pipes? Now You know Cultural Collapse has Occurred! By Charles Taylor (Florida)
Now here is diversity and equity taken to its illogical conclusion. The US Health and Human Services (HHS) Department has a $30 million grant program to fund the distribution of items, like crack pipes, for smoking illicit substances, according to report by The Washington Free Beacon. The department would prioritize applicants in "underserved communities "to fund smoking kits with pipes for users to smoke crystal methamphetamine, crack cocaine and "any illicit substances." It is crack pipes and drugs, not meaningful work, apparently, that produces the state of equity!

“The Health and Human Services (HHS) Department is rolling out a $30 million grant program that will fund the distribution of items, like crack pipes, for smoking illicit substances, according to a new report.
The Washington Free Beacon initially reported on the program, noting that the department would prioritize applicants in "underserved communities" as defined under one of President Biden's executive orders. An HHS spokesperson reportedly told the Beacon that the grants would fund smoking kits with pipes for users to smoke crystal methamphetamine, crack cocaine and "any illicit substances."
The grant document references Biden's executive order 13985, titled "Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government."
The order defines "equity" as "the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities that have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color; members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality."
The text of that order also defines "underserved communities" as "populations sharing a particular characteristic, as well as geographic communities, that have been systematically denied a full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social, and civic life, as exemplified by the list in the preceding definition of 'equity.'"
Despite the HHS spokesperson's reported statement, the department called the Beacon's report "misinformation."
"This is blatant misinformation," read the Tuesday statement from an HHS spokesperson.”
