oh it produces something alright

I enjoyed it all. The only thing I don’t like is that a Star Wars show seems to be the only way to get a high-budget story about actual empire. Maybe Coogler’s X-Files will go into the deep state more than the original.

Most people live in cities. You’re saying we need to take it out of the municipal supply and rely solely on private dentists to administer the fluoride. You’re saying this is better because it helps people in rural areas get the treatment. If you wanted to help the rural people then you would just offer OTC treatments for free rather than take it away from the cities.

Dentists are locked behind paywall. If you leave that treatment up to professionals only, then the the only people who will get it are the ones who can afford and regularly get care. This leaves millions of people not getting the treatment.

I think most job listings are fake. For one, I think most companies set up a job posting service and just ignore it until they actually need someone and don’t have any candidates from in-person referrals. So the jobs get posted repeatedly or updated every few months and that’s it. None of those positions are actually vacant. It’s in the interest of job board companies to make it seem like they have a lot of jobs and information. Part of their model is collecting and selling data about jobs markets. So they’re incentivized to have ghost listings everywhere because they don’t investigate or discount fake listings. It all helps their internal numbers.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the government got lazy and started relying on these job listing companies for market data. Which means there’s a big bomb of shit data rolling around in stats, convincing people that there is more activity in the market than there is.
