    Conservatives are fucking insane. They’re about to get the chance to really wallow in their own shit now.

    How long until we see goiters and pellagra making a comeback in Texas?

      I don’t even know how much longer we can trust any aspect of healthcare in the US. From mental health (autism registry) to unadulterated vaccines (RFK talking about “placebo testing” vaccines)

    So they are going to buy the more expensive non flouride toothpaste out there, which has very questionable effects

    Damn, it was ‘the government can’t just put things (even if proven to be hugely beneficial to the common people) in my body’ (which would greatly increase demand for medical or dental coverage and lines the pockets of my lobbyists)…. To ‘let’s attack business too!’

    Another benefit of ‘Small government’, every single day it’s another.

    Toothpaste manufacturers should concede and stop shipping their products to Texas. Then in about 10-20 years, after all the kids lose their teeth, they should put up billboards and other means of promotion pointing to Paxton for their poor dental health.

      Ugh. I hate that the stupidity of the parents is always felt by the kids. It’s even worse because the poor kids would be brainwashed and would never connect the dots. By that time they might have started a cult to paxton and abbot.

    Locked. Please keep unhelpful political comments out of the main discussion.
