“Anything that relates to water quality, removing contaminants, things like that, we’re not touching that,” Tuck [the bill sponsor] said. “It’s anything that has to do with health. So fluoride, vitamins, whatever else it is.”
I feel like this presidency is really showing the base/superstructure distinction.
Like, obviously everything that's happening is in response to the base (declining empire, destruction of the public sphere, etc.)
But there are just so many instances this time around of the fact that we're being run by ideologically committed morons. Like, removing this shit from the water supply is not, like, a ploy to privatize the fluoridation of water. They're doing it because they're conspiracy brained.
And it’s not targeted either, it’s not like they’re pulling funding for fluoridation in heavily black areas or anything like that
They’re genuinely stupid people who actually believe insane conspiracy theories about fluoride and don’t believe in the benefits. There’s no plot. They’re just really really dumb. They’re also evil, but it can’t be understated that they’re dumb.
Daniel Craig's little speech at the end of Glass Onion describes the current era better than anything else I've seen
There's gotta be a broad overlapping of profoundly stupid and "evil." The garden-variety evil person probably is just really, really dumb, while a small minority of evildoers are highly intelligent sociopaths.
Of course the more involved they are in organized religion, the easier they probably are to push into weird evil shit, since they're primed to comply and not question their own actions.
But I nevertheless predict that fluoridated bottled water will be on store shelves by the end of the year if it's not already.
This will not happen. Fluoride is already available to people who can afford it in the form of toothpaste, and toothpaste is a way more effective method of fluoride application than drinking water. The point of fluoridated water isn't that it's the best way to prevent tooth decay, compared to toothpaste it really isn't. The point is that it provides fluoride to literally everyone, even people who can't afford toothpaste, because everyone drinks water. It is completely pointless as a product.
