The Harm Reduction Scam: Why Nothing Gets Better | Freedom Friday

What if the system isn’t designed to fix the problem… but to maintain it?

Tonight on Freedom Friday, Chad breaks down the real story behind harm reduction — where it started, how it changed, and why it now functions less like a solution… and more like a permanent system.

From needle exchanges to safe consumption sites… from Housing First to managed alcohol programs… this episode walks through the data, the policy shifts, and the real-world consequences.

📊 What started as a short-term public health tactic has become a long-term philosophy — one that removes expectations, disconnects behavior from consequences, and shifts the cost onto everyone else.

If the goal is recovery… why build a system that never requires it?

This isn’t a rant — it’s a case. And there are receipts.
