American kids grow up in such a bubble. Can’t teach them to hate each other (and furthermore themselves) otherwise.
I wasn't taught the bullshit in school. Everyone is a product of their time and your ancestors were relatively just as bad and good as some other person's ancestors as well. I was shocked that a John Oliver Last Week Tonight about Asians was like 'did you know about Japanese internment camps?' and I'm like how don't people know about that, that was grade or high school basic history when I went to school (and public school, not some fancy private school). They teach so much BS in school now, I have at least 5 teacher friends and when they talk about what type of class they are teaching, I'm like why are kids learning that instead of important shit.

There was a TikTok video about atheism, which was basically. What about rich atheists that don't question captalism because they happen to make money? I stopped being an atheist a long time ago, but my guess is that there is likely one entity that controls everything in this universe, just like some people at home happen to have their own servers, and that makes more sense than a committee controlling something; however, I have not ruled that out as being possible for other universes. So yes, it's something like the simulation hypothesis, and I just fleshed it out a little bit.

That being said, one...


Two

So what if they don't question captalism? Maybe they have different base benefits than you on how society ought to be run. And I am guessing for many it's economic growth, so come up with an economic system that creates sustained economic growth without a dictatorship.

That said, Tik Tok being banned would ruin many people's livelihoods, but while I think it benefits US primacy to have been banned, and even better if it were brought by Oracle or Microsoft, I think I would do the same thing as a public policymaker if I were one, vs. being a regular citizen.

San Francisco Department of HEALTH hired a fat positivity "expert" to consult with. People complain about RFK Jr being brought on by Trump and laugh at the selection. But the left's selections are far more laughable and objectively worse.
Well because a fat acceptance activist isn't worse than a fucking anti-vax conspiracy theorist dipshit. And because a 12k consultancy is nowhere near as significant as secretary of health.

Stop bringing facts into it, it's not fair to Phoenixmgs.

What has RFK Jr actually proposed that would make people less healthy?

The Biden administration appointed the doctor that said the #1 cause of obesity is genetics to dietary guidelines committee. Even the interviewer that asked the question was noticeably befuddled by the doctor's answer that doesn't even pass the common sense test. I'll take RFK Jr over those clowns.

The guy who believes vaccines cause autism, that fluoride in the water is dangerous, that the link between HIV and AIDS isn't direct?

Because you are comparably poor at evaluating data.

Again, what has he proposed that he wants to do that make Americans less healthy? RFK Jr is not being appointed to the vaccine committee like the crazy doctor that said obesity is caused by genetics is being appointed to the dietary guidelines committee.

What data says genetics cause obesity?

Dismantling the nutrition department of the FDA, and ending fluoridisation of water would be two examples.

Edit: good lord, the dipshit even believes in chemtrails. He shouldn't be left in charge of a lego set.

Irrelevant distraction, this isn't what we're talking about.

I'd have to know exactly which department he's referring to and what they do because the FDA has very poor nutritional advice as is. I had to learn on my own what foods are good for you because basically all the official guidelines tell you to eat the wrong foods.

Then, what are you talking about?

Horseshit. Fluoridisation, at the levels carried out on drinking water in almost all areas, is utterly harmless and beneficial to dental health. There is no medical dispute on this. Only conspiracy fuckwits.

You learned on your own and came to extremely poor conclusions. If you believe the opposite of the FDA, that inclines me to think the FDA is probably correct.

Currently, we're talking about whether the hiring of a fat acceptance activist to a 15k city consultancy position is worse than the hiring of someone with zero comprehension of HIV/AIDS, and who believes conspiracy dogshit about vaccines, autism, chemtrails, etc as the Secretary of Health.

There is absolutely zero comparison, for anyone with either a sense of perspective, or a non-infantile level of comprehension of this stuff. Absolutely zero. He's a fucking drooling moron.

Then why doesn't everyone else do it? Also:

Being at a healthier weight than my high school weight is a poor conclusion? Again, you keep confusing that these are MY conclusions, everything I say I can cite an expert saying it. You're arguing against experts in the field, not me. Also, you didn't answer my question about what department RFK Jr wants to dismantle and what that department does.

The fat acceptance consultant is gonna consult about the bullshit she's saying like "no one has to be healthy". You also forget about the doctor that believes the #1 cause of obesity is genetics being on the dietary committee. Is RFK Jr on the HIV/AIDS committee or the vaccine committee? The clowns I'm complaining about are on committees that actually pertain to the bullshit they are peddling.

A mixture of reasons, chief among them the difficulty of adjusting existing water infrastructure to facilitate it, and the cost of implementation for a relatively minor benefit.

Thank you for providing evidence of my point, its appreciated.

Well no, because you cherry pick a few talking-heads you agree with; you don't follow the scientific consensus, ignore/dismiss whatever you dislike regardless of expertise, and cannot evaluate data.

You think the Secretary of the Department of Health has no relation to HIV/AIDS treatment, vaccines, autism etc? Are you joking?
