💊 America’s Obsession With Quick Fixes Is Killing Us | Karel Cast Ep. 25-83
Why do Americans want pills instead of accountability?
From PrEP therapy to weight-loss injections, we’ve become a culture obsessed with instant results and zero responsibility. Safe sex? Too much work. Exercise? Forget it. We want a pharmaceutical solution for everything — even when lifestyle changes could actually solve the problem.
But it doesn’t stop with health.
⚠️ Is the Iran conflict just a distraction from what’s happening in Gaza and Ukraine?
🎬 And what’s with the weekend movie slate? Superman again? Jurassic World again? Why can’t Hollywood tell a new story?
In this fiery episode of The Karel Cast, we break down America’s addiction to the quick fix — in health, politics, and pop culture.
