Rural dental care is notoriously poor in the US. Also, for some ridiculous reasons, dental care is treated separately from medical care when it comes to insurance. I know people who can't afford to go to the dentist and one who is lucky to have access to low cost dental school care. Putting fluoride in water at least helps those who don't or can't take good care of their teeth.

So will they back this up with affordable public dental care? Don't bother answering that.

Yup. If you are bought by anything with "capital" or "equity" in its name you are fucked.

All business have to care about profit or they won't be in business for long. Also if you want employees to get good pay/benefits and such they have to charge more and in turn you can't shop for the cheapest.

That said I think the concern comes when they start trying to squeeze every last cent out regardless of the customer relationship and long term image. As soon as a company goes public you now have a board that will get rid of you if you don't push stock values up another percent. Even if you want to have long term growth and goodwill the board is pushing for profit growth targets this quarter and they pay mostly in shares too. I find the best corporate customer/profit balance comes from private firms.

They are great socks, my favorites. I can't wear the things out. They are an example of paying up front to save in the long run.

Too bad they are so expensive though. Out of my budget.

Their tools though have gotten crazy expensive.

The Mennonite woman in west Texas who basically said that she was fine with her son dying to avoid the vaccine really disgusted me. She is also implying that death is better than any form of autism (that connection claim has been thoroughly discredited).

Just take fish oil and pass on those vaccines. You'll be fine.

(just in case, /s)

They Walked In Line

Lots of local discussion groups that simply don't exist on lemmy. I've tried getting them to move too.

I'm amazed any of you get told why you were banned

If they don't block you for asking

The same mods who arbitrarily ban users without showing what rule they claim was broken?

He'll cry his way to a trophy home and yacht

Hmmm, better push more ads and restrict discussion more

Server errors are nothing new for reddit

So tooth care products must be "poisoned" also then

Back to 1900. People will be getting dentures at 40. Without teeth you can't eat or talk properly, your jaw starts to degenerate. There may be a connection between severe tooth decay and heart disease as mouth bacteria enter the blood stream.

Hussies!
