Who wins the US Election

A good policy from RFK. Although some of his other policies on pasteurisation and fluoride are not so good. Make America Healthy (again?) How will Big Food take it? Also food regulations will need to change. Will the Republicans have the stomach for those changes?

Can RFK Jr make America's diet healthy again

I have drunk raw milk all my life. Not a problem. The issues with raw milk are only minor compared to the other crap that we are allowed to digest that ends up giving us chronic disease.

Fluoride in water is a bad idea. It's mass medication without the ability to opt out. You can however opt into fluoride.

As an aside, we keep winning. Kash is going to head the FBI. Wray gonna get his ass kicked outta there.

Flouride is the least of the worries and has a public health benefit.

From tap water in the US you're getting micro plastics, PFA's, industrial pollutants, lead (worst case).

I dont think The Republicans care if the American poor have rotten teeth that they cannot afford to fix. Maybe Kennedy will get on to other water quality issues (best case scenario).

Scary story about lead in chocolate recently too. I didn’t realise my evening cocoa could be poisonous with lead!

Online harassment reaches new heights as 'emboldened manosphere' emerges: report - Alternet.org

In the days following Donald Trump's presidential victory, an alarming surge in misogynistic rhetoric and threats against women has emerged online and in real life, according to a report from the Associated Press. Dubbed the 'emboldened manosphere', the trend has left many women feeling unsafe and compelled to take protective measures.

This reaction stems from the rise of right-wing 'manosphere' influencers who have seized on Trump's win to amplify misogynistic content online.
Online declarations calling to "Repeal the 19th" Amendment (which gave women the right to vote) have gained millions of views.
for some men, Trump's victory represents a chance to reclaim traditional gender roles they feel they're losing.

Oh they wouldn't want that, toiling away in the mine or lumberyard instead of listening to podcasts and investing in bitcoin, I'd take the latter option if I was them.

Then you had conscription which definitely was a traditional gender role.

The old manly jobs are probably done by Mexican immigrants and illegals now! American Republicans are already madly in love with guns. However I think that is all genders.

Very good point about conscription being a gender role.
The United States ended conscription in 1973 due to several factors:

• Unpopularity of the Vietnam War: The draft became increasingly controversial and divisive during the Vietnam conflict, leading to widespread protests and resistance.
• Inequitable implementation: The draft system was criticized for being unfair, with many perceiving it as disproportionately affecting lower socioeconomic classes while the wealthy and influential could often avoid service.
• Political strategy: President Richard Nixon saw ending the draft as a way to reduce anti-war sentiment. He believed that once middle-class youths were no longer compelled to serve, their enthusiasm for protesting the war would diminish.

The draft, officially known as the Selective Service System, is currently inactive in the United States. However, most male U.S. citizens and immigrants aged 18-25 are still required to register.
There is no active draft. The U.S. military has been an all-volunteer force since 1973.
Registration: Men aged 18-25 must register within 30 days of their 18th birthday.
