You can simply vote by finding a new job and leaving your job, home, school, community. And it is to attract tech companies which are very woke and rich so you know they are good human beings unlike poor scum elsewhere.

No no no you vote by buying shares in the company, that way everyone has an equal and fair voice proportional to how much they trust and believe in the company!

Also there's always the possibility that they build exactly nothing on the land and Foxconn the whole thing, and considering the company is fuckin' called "Blockchains, LLC" I'm gonna bet that's what'll happen

Yeah, unless the people comprising the market are idiots, wilfully dense and/or have been misled by years of propaganda. Good thing we're all perfectly rational beings then.

Also lead won't straight up kill babies, it will impair their cognitive abilities in the long run. See also idiots above.

As was mentioned already, the information was already out there for the discerning parent to find for several years. You just had to rely on Consumer Reports (or other private sources) for the information.

meanwhile in China people literally hanged for that, unlike here the Corp will be assessed a small fine and anyone who loses their job over it will get a comparable one with a better salary, unless they were some low level nobody that they used as a patsy, he’s hosed lol.

the only reason to buy prepackaged baby food is for the convenience, like if you're out in the park or at the mall its easier to give your child one of those pouches.

at home it is cheaper and healthier to mash up bananas or puree some peas in a blender

oh my mom isn't a leftist by any stretch. it's a shame because she doesn't really watch cable news or keep up too much with politics but my dad is blasting it 24/7 in some capacity (one time I was talking to her on the phone and he was playing a Ben Shapiro video loudly on his own phone next to her).

Cook it like pasta with excess water and draining and you can cut the arsenic content by two‐thirds.

Also, you can buy rice grown in a region with low soil arsenic.

Doesn't work with rice flour, which is what i used to make tasteless porridge for my 6 month old at the time.

But kinda good point about washing rice to rinse out the rat poison.
