Hell, if he can see mitochondria in folks while walking through an airport - when no other humans can see it even via powerful microscopes, maybe we should listen to them? I wonder if RFK can tell me my blood glucose and blood pressure by reading this text?

And more employees are merely “independent contractors” with no contributions to Social Security by employer or employee. The laborer will accrue no retirement benefits and the program will be insolvent sooner. A real coup de grâce for many American workers.

If the U.S. really wanted to slow the outflow of jobs to other countries, here is a faster, easier way: change our tax laws so companies don’t get a tax deduction for all expenses related to moving equipment & personnel there. It is just a cost - benefit, dollars & cents decision. Change the math.
