Interesting. Thoughts?
I think he should be in charge of the FBI and CIA
I think this sort of language is going to work against him getting confirmed by the Senate…
RFK spiking the senate water cooler with LSD should solve all of those problems.
I guess I’m cool with government sponsored acid. But will he send FDA employees to the Gulag?
Golden age Simpsons never disappoints.
Maybe RFK Jr can go back on Rogan, do some DMT together and report back on what the machine elves told them to do with the FDA.
Pretty wild that a guy with zero medical background or expertise is nominated to head the FDA, and that same guy who spent much of his life protecting the environment is now cowtowing to a POTUS who ran on a platform of dismantling environmental protections.
I’m unsure who is a scummier powerwhore, Vance or RFK.
I can see someone woke up to election results that offended them.
I agree, it would be really wild if RFK Jr took a position of public health responsibility in the USA.
A guy like that is a really big departure from the kind of serious medical professionals on physical and mental health that we’re used to having in those positions.
One way or the other, it was going to happen.
Offended? Hardly. Just a blip on the radar for folks busy getting after life.
Disappointing for sure though. I really should lower my expectations to fit in around here.
Yeah, FDA has been a mockery for many years in the stuff they ban and their health recommendations.
The food label says of a 2000cal diet:
200cals should be protein
450cals should be fat
1350cals should be carbs
They dont recommend what’s best for YOU, they recommend what’s best for the government.
Its the same reason public schooling is such a massive failure.
If they wanted you to be fit, proactive, and educated - more people would be.
I know a few guys that are willing to dress up as the Government and smack you with riding crops until you lick their boots. I can get their number for you, if you want.
It’s sad that they need to want it in order for people to do it.
On a more serious note, RFK Jr is a lawyer and the FDA is a regulatory body, not a scientific research organization.
IMO he’s as good of a fit as any of the past people who’ve held that position and I think setting a few bulls loose in the China shop will do far more good than bad for the US Government.
We’re only a couple of years removed from the government attempting to mandate that millions of people get a completely new and unproven medical treatment in order to keep their jobs.
A treatment that didn’t work as advertised, I will add.
Unleash the Kraken.
Coming from a guy who just whined about not receiving good enough direction from the govt, I don’t doubt you have first hand experience with those folks. To each their own.
Kennedy. They all need to go away.
A lack of good direction is not the same as deliberately bad direction.
I don’t blame you for not understanding the difference. It’s the same story for all of your people.
