Sounds like you have a nutjob on your hands.

If there are no other comments in this thread, it’s because aMockTie has summed it up perfectly and concisely.

I’m no expert but it seems to me if the yields have to go up to get buyers, it’s like raising the interest rates on a loan. You can still get the loan but you have to buy less car/house if you want to afford the payments.

Part of the problem is that the “rugged individualism” that America was founded on also equates to entitlement. The last generations that truly had it rough, where a community spirit was important to surviving are dying or gone, and no one has learned their lesson. Yet.

Talk about solving a problem no one has, and I’ve seen this article promoted again and again. Time lapse is fun the first two to three times then everyone moves on.

Yet the CDC has science that shows otherwise:

What the research shows Studies continue to show that widespread community water fluoridation prevents cavities and saves money, both for families and the health care system.

Drinking fluoridated water keeps teeth strong and reduces cavities by about 25% in children and adults. 34This results in less mouth pain, fewer fillings or teeth pulled, and fewer missed days of work and school.

Communities of 1,000 or more people see an average estimated return on investment (ROI) of $20 for every $1 spent on water fluoridation. The ROI for community water fluoridation increases as the community size increases, but even small communities save money.5 Communities served by fluoridated water save an average of $32 per person a year by avoiding treatment for cavities.5

This article compares the first fifty days of each presidency, Biden wins quite handily.

Worse, decking that has long since been sent to the landfill and replaced with Trex and the like

I use “Yesterday for old reddit” for a rough Apollo-like experience on iOS devices. That being said, i’m gradually shifting away from reddit as i find more communities on lemmy.

It’s funny how we used to have this trope of the mighty censorship bureau that has to rubberstamp everything (like they do for movies) but the reality is that the sycophants will trip over themselves to censor their neighbors in order to please those above. In Reddits case you have subreddit mods banning and censoring to please the reddit mods, who are trying to please reddit management, who are trying to please people like Musk, who are trying to please Trump. Trump doesn’t have to say anything, those low level Mods are doing all the censoring for him pro bono.

Just like Trump is a poor person’s idea of a rich man, Elon is a stupid persons idea of a smart man. He’s not a complete moron like Trump, but he’s no Stephen Hawking either.

As a father, at least half the lessons my son has learned weren’t ones i’d intended. But he’s a good kid, so something worked out.

nearly as damaging

really? More BS false equivalence. The liberals where never in control enough to make any of that happen. They may not be perfect by any means but to say they’re “nearly as damaging” as the right is just ridiculous.

Sound like “A boy named Sue”

Banned from politics after someone said there was going to be violence. I said “the tree of liberty and all that, right?”. Facism takes root when people self censor and over compensate.

early on there was an analysis that showed it was closest to the South African right wing version. Which kinda makes sense, no?
