    Please tell me what I have or have not done. I highly doubt you have administered grants for the federal government, hired hundreds of people, worked at the state, or really know anything at this point.

    Honestly, after I explained the law you should have crawled back under your rock.

    Btw you have no clue what DEI is because you never had the training yourself. I have many times in both the private sector and the public sector. Also you are not a hiring manager like I am so you have no expertise or clue what you are babbling about.

    If you continue to make a buffon out of yourself I will happily block you.

    Freedumb pretty much. It is a great study how to keep people divided while the wealthy extract all the money. Greed begets greed, look at the richest man on earth. It is never enough.

    Now the plan is to make everyone else poor. Taxes go up for the poor down for the rich while inflation gobbles up any increase in salary. Union bad. Privatise good. This message is several decades old now.

    Fluoride is effective topically, a side effect of too much fluoride is what you describe. Like eating too many carrots turns your skin orange. Your skin turning orange is not proof that it is working rather a side effect of too much beta carotene.

    Fluoride works by disrupting the the bacteria and strengthening the enamel of your teeth. I mean the only silliness here is you at this point. There is a reason you are not supposed to swallow fluoride toothpaste and that there is a poison control number on the box.

    In fact, I would say at this point, since you are so uniformed, you are just being rude.

    You make a lot of outlandish claims like ingesting flouride helps with cavities. This is nowhere in any literature. It is not my responsibility to prove anything to you that a simple Google search could.

    I guess I will provide you one link to help explain something you are in complete denial about.

    https://origins.osu.edu/article/toxic-treatment-fluorides-transformation-industrial-waste-public-health-miracle

    Simply put it is far cheaper to dispose waste fluoride in our municipal water supplies than to actually treat it. Instead of paying large amounts to make it inert they sell it for profit.

    You didn’t know this because you never have actually studied this. I have. Your continued ignorance in this subject is pretty ridiculous. You do seem somewhat civil so I suppose I like wasting my time. Or perhaps I feel it is some sort of perverse test of what I have gone through learning this myself in a high level University class.

    Really there is no point because you will just attack the messenger and continue to doubt. I was just here to share my story because I was invited to. You are rude and inconsiderate of this with your misfounded accusations.

    Really, as I have pointed out this is all caused by a bacteria. Science has already moved far beyond the discussion we are having and I believe in the future fluoride may not be necessary at all. Until then, I will continue to brush my teeth with fluoride based toothpaste to prevent cavities.

    What is false, I stated their is no mechanism to bring fluoride topically back to the teeth where it is effective. You did nothing to refute this.

    You are claiming flourode is not a poison is of course ridiculous. And we are not talking like anything could be a poison because even relatively small amount of fluoride introduced to the body can be harmful.

    That is why there are safe limits of exposure. Indeed in areas with extremely high levels of naturally occuring fluoride it is recommended to filter it or consume from water sources not effected.

    The majority of the time natural occuring levels or the levels introduced artificially are not harmful but that is not my point. My point is it is not necessary when you have adequate dental care as proven in countries that have good dental care and do not artificially introduce fluoride or have natural sources.

    Since you did not actually read what I said you don’t understand heavy metals are mixed in with the fluoride extracted from the smoke stack scrubbers of fertilizer plants. Why are fertilizer plants required by law to extract fluoride if it is so safe. Hint: it is not

    I have done the research in person. This is not the discussion you think it is and you are obviously trying hard to pretend you know something. I am not here to convince anyone. If you continue to act this way I will happily block you as you should me since we are not having a real conversation at this point.

    Sure, fluoride has been proven time and time again to be effective topically. There is no evidence ingesting fluoride, which is a poison, is good for the body. There is no mechanism in the human body to return fluoride to the teeth topically where it is proven effective once ingested.

    Give me a moment, the rest of this post will be updated with a copy/paste from my previous post on the matter because it takes a lot of effort to summarize this topic.

    Edit:

    https://www.cochrane.org/news/water-fluoridation-less-effective-now-past

    The latest studies indicate fluoride in the drinking supply has little effect compared compared to fluoride toothpaste. So you once it is available the need for adding fluoride to water goes away. This has been supported by numerous studies comparing countries that do not add fluoride to their water.

    I studied this in a 400 level water course at UNI. I got to visit wastewater and water plants and speak with operators. I was surprised to learn the fluoride was not naturally occuring in the water supply as it is advertised on the EPA website.

    Then I found an article about a small town in Canada that ran out of fluoride because of a downturn in fertilizer manufacturing. I thought to myself what does fertilizer manufacturing have to do with fluoride.

    That is when I discovered the truth that it is a toxic by-product of fertilizer manufacturing that is sold to municipalities to be disposed of in our water supply. It is not pharmaceutical fluoride because that would cost too much. Oh and it is contaminated with nasty stuff like heavy metals.

    I then did a bunch of research comparing rates of tooth decay in different areas of the world. It really did not appear to make a difference but actual dental care and fluoride toothpaste did.

    My presentation was about a hour and a half where I presented all my research. I got an A on it and everyone was very impressed with what I discovered.

    Second edit:

    We are begginig to understand about healthy mouth biomes which is evident in people who don’t naturally get cavities. If you have never been introduced to the bacteria that causes cavities or if you mouth biome naturally fights off and destroys this bacteria you will never get cavities.

    In the future when our technology advances it may be possible to fight cavities without Flourode which is a still a poison even if it is effective.

    Uhh sure, but both substances are sold by corporations. Both are poisons. One has no health benefits beyond an extreme minority and the other has great health benefits applied topically.

    I won’t get into all the details about ingesting fluoride and where municipal fluoride comes from unless you want me to. It is a very unpopular here even if it is the truth.



  • “But I think people can address those without DEI or CRT.”

    I think you are pretty much full of it. CRT is a college level analysis of systemic racism. There are valid criticism of it which you are apparently oblivious to because your understanding comes from word of mouth and Fox News.

    DEI boils down to having a diverse group that makes better decisions. I have taken many DEI trainings and I know for a fact that your criticisms are bunk. I personally think the biggest actual criticism is that it has become a money making endeavor or a box to check off on. This criticism is ultimately about capitalism itself and corporate culture than actual DEI content.

    DEI is what you learned in kindergarten. To treat everyone how you want to be treated. There are no quotas or any other such bullshit. As a hiring manager myself the only thing it has ever done is make me considering hiring something other than a white male. That is consider, not force.

    You don’t know what you are talking about about and your informed perspectives must be from National Review, OANN, Brietbart, etc.


  • Please just stop. It is explicitly illegal to hire based on any quota in the federal government or for federal contractors.

    https://www.huschblackwell.com/newsandinsights/ofccp-investigates-companies-for-diversity-hiring-plans

    The point of affirmative action is to hire so that the composition of a contractor’s workforce reflects, over time, the composition of qualified workers in the relevant labor market from which applicants are recruited and selected.

    This just boils down to if there are women and minorities in the field they should be considered instead of just white males.

    I am really getting sick of all the DEI propaganda. Jesus Christ, I am a hiring manager and I have taken multiple DEI trainings. There are no quotas and the entire point is to get an average hiring manager, which are mostly white males, to consider hiring someone different than themselves.
