I mean, my solution is just to leave the US, which worked for me.
It's not just lowering dental costs btw, but you're right, taking money out of dentistry would probably give the most improvement to medical outcomes.
That was Socrates circa 500-ish BC, 2500 years ago or so.
0% USA Tool-assisted speedrun.
Everyone on this argument seems to be posting a rather religious position and rationalizing backwards.
Europe has vastly better dental health in every possible way, without flouridation.
It's not working, cut the shit.
You'd be off by 1500 years, that was Socrates.
Not by a little bit, commuting here from California is like traveling between heaven and Somalia.
Chlorine absolutely makes sense.
Chlorine is our anion gap, we have so much more than you can imagine, it's literally in salt.
Flourine is less common, saying some places have a lot is like saying arsenic is fine because chile has high concentrations. The Pampas actually is known for their wines and they have massive arsenic.
Btw, asked gpt4o this question:
Fluoridation Coverage and Socioeconomic Status
Lower Access in Disadvantaged Areas: Studies have found that areas with greater socioeconomic disadvantage often have less access to fluoridated water. This disparity is attributed to factors such as limited infrastructure, political opposition, and logistical challenges in implementing fluoridation programs in these communities .
Variability Across Income Levels: In the United States, data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) revealed that children from families with low income—but not those living in poverty—were less likely than other income groups to reside in predominantly fluoridated counties .
So your argument is somewhat flawed, poor people tend to be less flouridated, so the people who need it get it the least.
This is the wrong way to distribute this, please stop and find a better way, MOST IMPORTANTLY A CONTROLLED WAY, and work out a precise dosage schedule while you're at it, none of this ignorant yeehaw cowboy shit where each town rolls a dice.
Our youth now love luxury, they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders, and they love to chatter instead of exercise. Children are now tyrants not servants of their household. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.
That shit wasn't transient either, in Scandinavia women will still stand and fuck your shit up if you mess with them.
They somehow solved civilization, it's incredible.
Yes but it's a speed run to 0.
