RFK Jr signed order withdrawing rule that would mandate testing for the cancer-linked toxin in talc-based makeup
GOP women have the most make up.
In economic structures, which are necessarily also political structures because that’s how politics has always worked, you can have a great many low value people from whom you extract a great proportion of their wealth to keep things running. Greasing wheels and whatnot. Or you can have fewer skilled laborers from whom you take a smaller proportion of their wealth but a greater total sum due to the skill.
Changes like this feel like we are slipping more toward the peasant side, where we currently stand on the skilled labor side. I don’t want to become a peasant. It’s an objectively terrible life. I just don’t see how they can justify moving Americans in that direction.
Welcome to late stage capitalism.
That’s the beauty of it. They don’t have to justify it. They just…do it. Because no one will stop them.
