.... Why though? Was it the big suntan bed conglomerate that got to him and paid him to make that legal?
I'm kidding of course but ... Why do this? I don't get it. We all know sun tan beds are bad, why allow kids?
You've officially put more thought into it than he has.
Because UV rays make vitamin D, and that's probably as far as he thought about it. Anything else is big scary science man talk with risks about something as "healthy" as unlimited concentrated artificial sunlight.
Next up: let's outlaw soap so that we can all have really good, well practiced immune systems.
Actually maybe I shouldn't give them ideas. They might try that.
Just to get a baaaaase
In the same way that most tattoo artists won't do kids, even in states where it's legal with parental consent, most salons won't let kids tan--at least I hope.
This guy is the kind of cartoon villain that gets left out of the newer "dark" iterations of a franchise for being too fucking ridiculous
Good! We NEED our Children looking HOT!
-LITERALLY every single Republican!
or burnt toast.
So... kids shouldn't have the right to their own personal expression, but they should have the right to give themselves cancer. Got it. Makes perfect sense.
Why would anyone listen to a person who looks like they got trapped in an air fryer?
or a toaster oven. apparently his sauana wasnt hot enough.
Presumably somewhere there is a portrait that gets younger every year.
why is rfk jr so obsessed with minors i wonder
he has seen with dining with epstein on one or more photos. his other comment about the other month was about sperm of young men, or boys. he said sperm count was lower now than it was before, Looks like peter thiels rubbing off on him.

Notably absent: Dr. Rockso, also Dr. Acula, depending on how high you are.
My screenplay!
Good on you for not forgetting about Dre.

Kennedy’s action comes at a time when many adherents of his Make America Healthy Again movement have adopted regular sun exposure as a core principle of wellness, with social media influencers encouraging followers to abandon sunscreen and build up their “solar callus,” or sun tolerance, instead.
Even if this doesn’t give you cancer, it’ll make you look like a California Raisin. In one of Lab Muffin’s videos (chemistry PhD who makes educational videos about beauty/skincare product misinformation), she has a great photo of an older woman who has put sunscreen on her face but not neck for decades, and it looked like they belonged to two different people. Same if you’ve ever seen photos of old truckers that don’t use sunscreen on their window side arm.
TL;DR: UV radiation bad. Protect yourself from the giant nuclear explosion in the sky. If you don’t like sunscreen, use a sun jacket or anything long sleeved with a good UPF rating.
Sunscreen on face but not neck

Listen up you leathery pile, your ideas are stupid and you should feel stupid.
I'd love to get a bed that has no UV. Just warmth and no cancer risk
Ever heard of blankets? Pretty dope technology imho
You mean electric blankets?
rfk jr sleeps in a tanning booth no doubt.
It's like his goal is to get as many people sick from as many things as possible. No vaccines, red meat heavy diet and suntanning beds. What's next cigarettes for kids?
What’s next cigarettes for kids?
To build up their lung callus, for when they'll get work in the coal mines.

RFK = Skin cancer's best friend.
Also he highly recommended a daily dose of racoon dick for newborns.
Well they need vitamin D too.
Holy shit this is so much more fucked up typed out than in my head.

Gotta give them kids sexy orange skin
Sooooooo, trump I get. He's a narcisist. That's why he does the things he does. He's also putins bitch. So he tries to destroy america, because putin is obsessed with the cold war.
The rest of the crew are just desprate needy sycophants, who do nothing but try to gobble up as much attention and power as possible.
But RFKjr? Him I don't get. It's like he's an 80s saturday morning cartoon villain. He would fit right in alongside Cobra, or CLAW, or being one of Jokers henchmen.
I'm honestly expecting him at some point to encourage people to drink bleach.
He's just really fucking stupid.
