I’m sure the private sector will take care of it
Aaaany day now. When they eliminate public schools and replace them with private rather.
You think they won’t save money by putting lead in things?
Good point, and with the costs saved from removing flouride, they could further increase child-hydration profit margins by simply having them eat the paint off the walls instead.
Solution: don't have children. Let some more intelligent species with kindness and empathy take over.
Darn, I already had one. I might consider handing them off to a more intelligent species though, if you have a recommendation? Bonobo maybe?
I suggest we do some genetic fiddling, like how scientists gave the NOVA1 gene to mice. They have been shown to have more empathy than humans.
