What possible benefit is there to RFK or the federal government to reject sound science?
Fulfillment of their worldview based entirely on conspiracy theories.
Certain industries having to do with fraudulent medicine may get a boost from such a distorted government agency. This includes dozens of multi-level marketing corporations.
Also, Putin gets to benefit from the massive vaccine and medical disinformation program translating into gradual destabilization of the United States.
In my part of the world, cops are near on top of the food chain in any town and city, sometimes literally getting a free pass as long as they do something for a politician, a celebrity, or a business personality. So some of them, especially senior officers, do eventually get obese because not only they get to choose what duties they want to carry out, but also either they have three full square meals plus two snacks a day, or maybe a drinking party two to four times a month.
Of course they – the Philippine National Police – are a government agency, but also they’re a fraternity, the so-called “Brotherhood”: “you scratch my back as long as I scratch yours”.
Requiem for a Dream, Mr. Nobody, Dallas Buyers Club, House of Gucci, The Little Things
and Bladerunner 2049.
They’re so much FYGM, and now comes the comeuppance.
Couple this with American Exceptionalist propaganda which created the myth and social elevation of the American Soldier as the ultimate freedom fighter / patriot and maybe you can sympathize with those who enlist.
That myth. One of the things Umberto Eco discussed about in Ur-Fascism.

How it used to be a fringe thing we can laugh at and dismiss, at a time when scientific documentaries were also entertaining and enlightening.
The Register comes to mind when it comes to blunt reportage of tech news.
What Tsar Vlad wants to see.
You had a “turtle” (green triangle) that you needed to move to a specific spot on the screen, and you typed in commands to make him move.
Ah. LOGO.
Tough changing things back to where they were – cops armed only with a pistol and a nightstick. Now they have to use all that gear and weaponry to up the intimidation factor and to make clear they mean business. Whether it’s a store robber on meth or a heavily armed group of narcos. It’s so worse now that some procedures have to be rewritten.
I do not forget that the United States has the most firearms in private hands, more than any country.
Where I come from, gun laws are very strict and the only people carrying heavy firearms other than military and police are either the few with special licenses, or stolen weapons used by bandits, separatists, and terrorists. So by consequence the police in my country are locked in an arms race against those outlaws, cops now equipped as much as the soldiers sometimes they have to work with.
That was before the 1997 North Hollywood robbery, which changed all that.
As a resident of a developing country, having spent time observing different socio-economic classes and lurked in my country’s subreddit, I noticed that the most vocal opponents of natalism are mostly from the younger upper-middle class due to those aforementioned issues plus the fear of losing the ability for self-fulfillment (they would rather choose having a better career and/or excel in their interests/passion projects than traditional domesticity which they see as boring, stressful, and mundane). Unfortunately, some of them also happen to harbor a disdain towards the lower classes they see as “less civilized”, a strain on resources, and purportedly reproduce more than necessary.

Filipinos. We’re not a cucumber. FIX THAT.
Curriculum and unappetizing methods of teaching are the problems.
This kid has the right to question, to speak out what’s really logical, and is likely to be more street-wise.
There’s tankies in my country who literally believe “South China Sea” belongs to Mainland China.
They have very blunt takes at the space launch industry, for one.
Not surprising, it’s always expected from tech corporations, where at the end of the day it’s profit and favor with conservative politicians. If they’re not trying to use information gathered on people to bad government looking to cut costs (“saving taxpayers’ money”) by removing minority beneficiaries, they love to shove content you don’t even want.
Why I never use my real name online.
He can’t wait wearing that Hugo Boss uniform. Or those white blankets.
