If you haven’t perused the entire list of approved vendors for LEARNS Act money, it’s worth a bit of your time. Followed by googling some of them….

There have been a lot of interesting takes on fluoride recently. But all seem to be missing a component—whether it’s equity or risk vs. hazard in Europe or attention to dose. So, I put together, in one place, nuance to (hopefully) better guide evidence-based discussions.

Can you imagine the impact $90m would have on our public schools? The critical needs the $90m in reserve could fund? We could move the needle on so many critical issues-workforce housing, mental health treatment, addiction treatment & more-if we had the political will.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
