But why not

Interesting… every time I have an MRI, I know exactly what it is for.

This is a great point!

Follow the money in disinfo. Facebook, by it’s own reports, collects some 15 billion in ad revenue for products that are scams. This stuff fuels the misinfo economy because it feeds into identity (eg survivalist grift) while gathering the gullible into one place.

When you look at how misinformation is monetized it usually boils down to supplements and other scams. Infowars sold BS vitamin and supplement packages for everything from weight loss to ED. Throw in reverse mortgages and gold scams and you have the largest advertisers for Fox Primetime.

Sounds great. But also hard. Why not attack the financial underpinnings of misinformation vectors by targeting the grift economy? The key moment in unleashing misinfo/disinfo on society was the 1994 passage of DSHEA which allowed people to essentially scam supplements without consequence.

And overwhelmingly approved it!

A power grab by the electorate of the most populous state. I thought that was called direct democracy.

Um

Oh wow that’s amazing!

Oh my god

Apparently it’s why they fly so erratically- they scoop the bug and bring it to their mouth, so they stop flying for a hot sec and start dropping, and then start up flying again.
