    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.

      There will be exceptions. Anything endorsed by Dr Oz will be allowed. Anything endorsed by Trump will be allowed.

    This is how people end up down conspiracy theory rabbit holes. A conspiracy nut has just enough actually good ideas that people start to think they’re smart and believe the utter nonsense they spew afterwards.

    I still don’t like him, but I’d love to see this happen.

      The other was avoiding processed foods. I’m guessing he won’t be allowed to implement that either when his boss gets a wheelbarrow full of cash from the McClown.

      There’s a shot of RFK and the rest of the Dream Team holding a Big Mac somewhere and he genuinely looks like they’ve asked him to pose with a freshly laid dog turd.

        He also left the dead carcas of a bear in Central Park.

        He also drove over 300 miles to cut the head off a beached whale and bring it home.

        RFK does a lot of strange things, and i don’t think it was 100% the brain worm either.

          He also had a habit of eating raw or even partly rotten meat for a while IIRC. That’s probably how he got that brain worm.

    Can medicine finally stop getting jingles?

    Fuck you (drug you all wanna mention but I won’t give them the exposure here) and your randomly changing cast of dancers and main singer.

    No more big story to tell got you.

    So RFK2 with this and Trump trying to end DST.

    If they can stay on the fringe of everything like that then maaaaybe it won’t be so bad? But they can’t.

      The fact that these pharmaceutical companies can afford to license the songs that they’re riffing off of makes you wonder how many of your dollars are going to the actual production of the drugs you need to survive, and how many of those dollars are going into marketing

        Every medical choice you make should be made between you and your doctor(s).

        None should ever be made based on commercials. Ever.

      It’s not all that weird when you consider that all of our rules are made with the ownership class in mind.

      Company makes more money? That is objectively A Good Thing™ regardless of anything anyone says.

    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.

      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.

          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.

        I’m not of the belief that the general American public has enough agency or wherewithal to make their own choices about health.

            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.

      • 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.

        I feel obligated to post the transcript for this reference.

        Leela: Didn’t you have ad’s in the 20th century?

        Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky! But not in dreams. No siree!
