(I say this as a disabled and chronically ill person)
I’ve been told he’s really concerned about additives in food, pointing to the regulations in the EU favorably. Im also concerned about the poor quality of food regulations and enforcement in the US. So I’ve been cautiously optimistic on that front.
Should I not be optimistic? Am I misinformed? Has he said/done things to undermine this position? I haven’t followed RFK particularly close.
You shouldn’t believe a goddamn word from anyone in this administration.
For every accidental right he will get dozens of things wrong.
He’s part of the misinformation crowd. (See his antivax status. He’s also all for privatization of Medicare/medicaid, and tons of other shit.)
So no. He’s going to fuck over Americans.
This is one of these, he believes in 1 good thing out of 99 bad things kind of situation.
Similarly to how Trump believes im being skeptical and of China.
Not American, but what if the real evil is the pharmaceutical ghouls, and the plan is to threaten them that if they don’t bring themselves into line and stop being so greedy, the government will set the anti-vax weirdo on them and decimate their profits?
Just a thought
Two evils don’t necessarily make a good.
Using him to straighten up big pharma makes about as much sense as electing Trump in order to drain the swamp, unfortunately.
Problem is that YES the people at Big Pharma who specialize in profiteering off of the misery of others are evil ghouls, but RFKJ’s proposals will introduce ADDITIONAL suffering without solving any of the current problems that he pretends to care about and/or know anything about beyond absolute surface level.
So it’s just going to be more shit on top of the current shit and maybe a radioactive isotope thrown in for good measure.
And of course, it’ll make RFKJ and/or his friends much richer than they already are.
