    Read what a lot of you are saying in this thread about “rare W” and the like and thought of this poignant saying…

    “You can’t only piss in one PART of the pool”

    You won’t get just the one thing you want from RFK jt, you’ll get it all - Stop taking the bait, dipshits. This is the candy he’s trying to give you while sliding down your pants with the other hand and slathering coconut oil on your b-hole.

      Trump won, so the US will get a pissed pool no matter what.

      To say “rare w” isn’t to deny that, it’s acknowledging that even though the pool is absolutely disgusting with 80% piss, at least that’ll help some people with skin conditions.

        Yep that’s basically it. “Rare W” is not an endorsement, it’s pretty much the opposite : recognizing that an otherwise terrible person/organization did something good or made a good point for once.

        I get the general idea, but that’s not the point - you need to always deliver the sugar with the sour around these fucking people. Their tactic is repeating a lie constantly. When you’re constantly just saying, “I actually love this” and nothing else, you’re doing work for the bad guys.

        You can’t show just the outside beauty shot of the cupcake, you always have to cut it open to show clearly that the center is stuffed with warm, wet dog shit

        Piss in the pool is probably the least of our worries. He’s gonna be emptying the proverbial RV septic tank into our fucking community pool.

    Get rid of corn syrup getting added to everything, ban drug ads on TV, I gotta say I don’t disagree with everything this guys says he wants to do but I also feel like it’s mostly just talk.

      I am skeptical that he actually cares about these things that much. This stuff feels like an attempt to whitewash his insanity ahead of confirmation hearings so that senators have some populist cover to vote for captain brain worm.

        I think he might actually care about some of the health stuff (even if he’s wrong about some of it) but I don’t know if we’ll see any positive changes because of it.

          He’s basically a crystal hippie, just like all the “alternative medicine” people that joined with Trump as soon as the right went full anti-vax during the pandemic. He’s got some nice ideas, from where people like that overlap with the left, but they’re held alongside all the crazy anti-science ones. He’s only as successful as he is because of his name

      Corn syrup is no worse for you than any other sugar.

      It’s definitely added to a ton of things but that’s because people like sweet shit. The corn syrup doesn’t hurt you - the overconsumption of any refined sugars causes diabetes.

      Removing corn syrup and adding white sugar is just as bad.

        We overconsume it because it’s in everything because it gets a shitload of subsidies so they look for as many excuses to use it as possible to save money, so, in a sense, yes, corn syrup is bad for you (as is all refined sugar that gets crammed into everything).

    I would be curious if a commercial reminding people it’s flu season, or that the new COVID boosters are out would fall under this. As I don’t think banning reminders without a specific drug push is in the spirit of a ban like this, but then looking at who is proposing it gives me pause. And I know that the article mentions seniors seeing vax commercials to remind them, but it doesn’t 100% say if those are included or not.

      Yeah the other thing I agree with him on is bringing in Joel Salatin’s approach to regenerative agriculture. This is all about building up soil health and soil ecosystems rather than conventional fertilizer and heavy tillage.

        I don’t think a forced change like that is really necessary The only reason it really stopped in the first place is because corn is so subsidized by the government that it is cheaper and less work to just keep expanding land and planting more corn fields. Stop the outrageous subsidizing of corn and corn based products and it would make sense for farmers to rotate/sustain crop fields and diversify crops.

      This “broken clock” is right a surprising amount of the time, just don’t focus on the occasional statement he makes that the corporate media really, really wants you to focus on, they’ve deployed the crackpot strategy on a guy who really just wants you to eat healthy and make your own choices about your health.

        By banning, or even reducing the use of commonly used vaccines, he’s going to condemn thousands of kids to horrible deaths and more to horribly damaged lives. His is not a job where being right 2% of the time is acceptable. And is someone only a crackpot if every single thing they believe is bullshit? Because that’s stupid-ass binary thinking of the worst sort. There are some policy positions that are so destructive that they render a person unfit for any position of responsibility if they espouse them. And RFK has not just one of those, but a whole fucking portfolio.

          You need to actually listen to what he is saying, not what others say he is. Sustainable farming, eat healthy, limit processed oil intake, reduction of pesticide/herbicide/etc use…these are not crackpot positions, simply threats to the corporate status quo.

            If it works like Pennsylvania’s soda tax and doesn’t apply to people paying with EBT that would be okay enough for me. Lord knows I could use some outside influence to stop buying junk food.

            Would be best to also subsidise the healthy foods to make them cheaper but no way in hell that will happen any red administration.

    This is a good thing. His motivation may be more sinister. It could create a situation where non medical treatments can be advertised without restriction and genuine medicines can’t. It needs to be applied to all treatments, even unregulated ones.

      Not defending the guy, to be clear, but.

      That’s actually not how advertising works. Unless you live in a bubble in the US, you’re seeing drug ads at the tire shop, airport, restaurant, gas station, billboards, everywhere.

      Advertising is more about subconscious placement of things than active watching. Very few people sit down with a bowl of popcorn to watch 30 commercials for pleasure. You don’t even realize it got you, and may never.

      Futurama did a good sketch on the concept with “lightspeed briefs” where they were advertising in Fry’s dreams. Principle has always been the same.

      These ads used to be illegal, until the FDA in 1997 made it legal, David A. Kessler, who’s appointment continued by President Bill Clinton at the time made them legal. This same FDA actually did good things like nutrition facts labels, so it wasn’t all terrible. They alleged that advertising drugs would help inform the public, although in reality, it is a terrible mechanism to broadcast that type of information as marketing to an uninformed public and it should have never been allowed.

    Remember, this would probably include flu/COVID vaccines at CVS just as much as restless leg syndrome pills. Just because the words “ban drug ads” sound like a good thing doesn’t mean the implementation is acceptable. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

    Of course it will be easy, comparatively. Yeah, there’ll be a drop in ad revenue, but most countries don’t allow this shit anyways.
