This dude is so insufferable. He just uses fancy chemical words and fear-mongering.
The plastics they are using to wrap these chickens are most likely PET or PP. These are tested at higher temperatures and do not leak the chemicals he is complaining of… that would be PVC… which they aren't enveloping your chicken in 🙄.
For most families this is a financially feasible option and is probably 10x healthier than ultra processed foods or chicken nuggets of many other things you could eat for dinner that night. He's sensationalizing for views.

It's like going to the doctor for a routine checkup, him breaking your arm, him gaslighting you that you always had a broken arm, then him putting you under for surgery, fixing it, charging you for the surgery, and then claiming he saved your life and demanded praise.

@realDailyWire—and especially Ben—will always hold a special place in my heart. I've wrestled with two big questions in my life:
1. Why God?
2. Why Conservatism?
I’m going to digress for a moment—I went to Liberty University searching for truth as a Christian-turned-agnostic. There, I refined my Christian worldview and found my way back.
But when it came to my conservative beliefs, no one influenced me more than Ben. He helped me build a strong foundation and truly understand the why of conservative thought - the values came from Christianity.
Ben has always stuck to his convictions—he’s not in it for the grift or the sensationalism, which says a lot in today’s climate. He’s genuine, and he holds conservatives accountable when they need it. That takes courage.
Since then, I’ve explored other thinkers, branched out, and even started freelancing. 🙂 (Just got a few pubs this year.) But i will alway be greatful for the Daily Wire.

The fear of plastics and microplastics will be the next “climate crisis narrative”, and my fellow conservatives are falling for it. The activists will use it, and already are, to push for more regs and gov intervention.

It can also cause unnecessary stress in individuals who don’t understand how to interpret the results. They may be under the impression they are suffering from ailment when in reality they are healthy.
Ironically, taken to its extreme wearing monitors and constant paranoia over one’s health could lead to unnecessary medical intervention and therefore help funnel more money into the medical “establishment” and big pharma 😂.

Autism is preventable? Are we even defining autism the right way? How many things are labeled autistic that may not be?
We need to focus on defining autism correctly. At the same time we are searching for etiology.

Not sure what this even means “science” is typically discussed as a method. I think it’s suppose to mean naturalism. However…

Ignorance.
RFK is arrogant and thinks that the world would be a better place if businesses and schools just taught or did what he deems appropriate. He's a central planner.
He has no idea what is taught in medical schools. If he did, he'd understand that most require some form of education in nutrition. Even courses like medical biochemistry - though not explicitly titled nutrition - are ripe with information on how to treat disease through diet if possible. Don't believe me? Skim a copy of Clinical Studies in Medical Biochemistry by Glew and Rosenthal. Same for other courses like Human Physiology, which all medical schools require. Whether doctors take that info into practice or not falls on them. Is he going to dictate how docs run their practices next?

Europe is socialized medicine. Most their meds are “cheaper” but they have a broken healthcare system.
We should not strive to emulate Europe.
There are more effective ways to decrease medicines and drugs than top down price controls whether that’s direct or through programs like Medicare. This ultimately will not save the consumer any money.

I'm no defender of the @nytimes, but this narrative is garbage. Doesn't advertising only make up about 18% of their revenue, and it's a conglomerate of different companies? This dude acts like they are solely funded by pharma.
I wonder what percentage of RFKs revenue came from suing big corporate - including pharma? Maybe he has a conflict of interest.

I read the executive order last night. Seems to be a mixture of price controls and actions to create transparency and competition (increasing availability of biosimilars and generics). The price control portion will not lower prices - it will raise prices in other areas - costing the consumer more money, most likely. Price controls never work, every where they are tried. They create shortages, surpluses, or scarcity depending on the circumstances and how the market responds.
The transparency measures, I guess are ok, though I think more regulations aren’t the best way to achieve transparency in pricing. Gov intervention distorts pricing and market info.
This administration has generally been bad for pharma and health - honestly, the democrats aren’t any better they pass price controls just as frequently, with who knows what pending after RFK Jr in threatening to go after “ingredients” in drugs. More regulation and top down control on pharma industry will hurt consumers.

Here is an idea.
Maybe it's avant-garde nowadays, but I don't really care or want the government involved in my health. I don't care if it's Xavier Becerra or RFK Jr. The less these talking heads say and do and the more they return power to people to make decisions - whether healthy or not - the happier I'll be.

Everyone knows tariffs are bad; not a single respectable economic mind says they are good. C’mon, Thomas Sowell even came out in opposition today!!

For what it's worth. I've never had a pediatrician in the US push a COVID vaccine on any of my children. Always left the decisions to us - the parents. So, even if its on a schedule - it seems from my experience a recommendation, not a requirement. Maybe depends on the state 🤷♂️?

This isnt restoring trust. This is shifting trust, from one group to another. You have an agenda just like the person before you did.
Restoring trust would be a move to dismantle the bureaucracy. These departments and giant federal agencies are to volatile and their ideologies shift based off who's in charge. It would be best for the American people if we learned to do without these agencies and their “recommendations”.

One of my favorite quotes by one of the Palmers:
“Give me a simple mind that thinks along single tracts, give me 30 days to instruct him, and that individual can go forth on the highways and byways and get more sick people well than the best, most complete, all around, unlimited medical education of any medical man who ever lived”
Like.. Bro I don't think that sounds how you think that sounds 😆

This is great!
We should remember that it’s not about the quantity of regulations cut; it’s about the quality of cuts.
We need to open the market and eliminate these frivolous barriers to drug approval. The fact that only 10% of all drugs submitted for approval make it to commercialization prevents so much innovation and market choice—this factor really has an unquantifiable negative impact. (How many potential start-ups don’t even try?) There need to be workarounds and ways to avoid the FDA pipeline.
Patent reforms - evergreening, needs to go.
Trainings and “credentialing” is out of control in the pharma sector.
Regardless, I’m excited to see the outcome of this policy!

You can’t just cap drug prices. It will have a reverb. This is an elementary take on pricing on how it works.
It would almost be better to just not do business with the other countries and then have them figure it out. Other countries have price caps on drugs do to socialized medicine.
But the question is, is this the governments job to tell pharma how it’s suppose to conduct business? Not sure this is a wise approach seems like a form of centralized planning.

Ahh more centralized control! I'm sure it will work this time 🙃.
Pricing is influenced by consumers and millions of people across the market. Prices project information, bureaucracy will only further distort this information.
You want fair pricing? Release the market. sunset legislation and crappy regs, reform patents, and make it easier for drug approvals and biotech/ pharma start ups to get to market.
Price controls never work:

Vaccines actually make very little money for pharmaceutical companies in comparison to other medicines. In fact, very few pharmaceutical companies even manufacture them because it's very difficult to sustain a profit while supplying vaccines—the government has had to come in and help businesses a few times historically.
More importantly, there is a huge difference between a corporation making profits; those profits must be reallocated to pay employees, fund future R&D projects, etc. And one person like RFK Jr (a lawyer) being worth 15 million.

This is what I've read - books-wise (I read lots of articles and papers):
Economics in One Lesson
Free to Choose
Capitalism and Freedom
Most of Basic Economics by Sowell - though I've read some of his other works and academic papers
Then over the years I've read Bastiat, Rothbard, Adam Smith, etc.
I want to get to Human Action by December of this year, I'm really doing a deep dive into economics since I finished up my second Masters last year (unrelated to economics). I feel like I need to build up to that one though.
But Mises I'm new too. Didn't realize they had a rivalry until today. Hopefully it was a friendly one 🙂.

MAHA is a big government movement.
RDK Jr. has moved to ban dyes without providing you or me with a shred of research on behalf of his department. He did this based off a hunch and ideology.
He is claiming autism is preventable and caused by environmental toxins. Implying he already knows the etiology - though Americans will have to wait till September for an answer. This further indicates his coming actions concerning autism will be based off more of his “hunches” and less on transparency.
MAHA is a movement to control your freedoms and boost RFK Jr's ego.

Many of these federal agencies, like the FDA, were designed out of socialist idealism.
The fact that you can't understand these entities are the primary problem, including increased costs on us - consumers, is troubling and shows your motivations are completely misdirected.
This statement is an embracement of centralized control of private business. You really think it's your job to police corporations. Scary.
