Well, thanks for explaining

I genuinely don’t understand why people here are railing him. All the article said was he wanted to research environmental causes for an increasingly common condition. That seems totally reasonable. Look at car pollution reducing avg brain capacity. Look at plastics pollution. Look at toxins in ultraproceassed food, many of which are banned in EU but not USA. Look at our water quality and lead pipes problem

Look, I know he has talked about vaccines before, but literally didn’t mention it here. It’s totally reasonable and good for all of us to tackle pollutants, toxins, environmental quality. Yes, it’s likely that many health problems would be resolved if we understood this better; that’s a valid theory to pursue. But yes, I know, I know “maga bad”

Is it still called slavery if the farm is “very big” and the boss has nukes?

Probably not the popular opinion, but I think EC is important to America being what it is & as large as it is. From Wikipedia:

The electoral college is fundamental to American federalism, in that it requires candidates to appeal to voters outside large cities, and increases the political influence of more rural states. Whether by design or accident, one of its effects is to help prevent a tyranny of the majority that would ignore the less densely populated heartland and rural states in favor of the mega-cities

Imo without the EC, the Democrats would just roll the elections and the entire Republican party would have to pivot. Serving the rural / conservative view would be a losing strategy. Then resentment would grow that a big cultural force in America no longer has any say
