      They didn’t say there’s a public health crisis “on crimes,” they said there’s a public health crisis of gun violence, which is obviously very accurate. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but when it comes to public health, guns can actually only have a negative impact. That’s how they’re designed.

        So is inflation an epidemic too? How about climate change? It all affects health! We should let the SG pass any law he wants!

          Again, they didn’t pass a law, they’re not a legislative body.

          But you bring up a good point, climate change is a public health crisis. I’d actually be worried if the Surgeon General wasn’t worried about it. Inflation’s just a symptom of capitalism though, you gotta get to the root of the problem if you want real change.

          Yes… Not the point you’re trying to make I guess.

          SG isn’t passing any laws. They are making a statement.

            I would argue that it does actually.

            It reduces the access to heathy food and health products that have a long-term impact on your health
