I asked AI who profits from adding fluoride to water - is this answer scary as hell or is it me:

The financial beneficiaries of adding fluoride to public water supplies are not immediately obvious, but they exist. Here’s a breakdown of the key players who profit directly or indirectly:

⸻

1. Chemical Suppliers (Especially Fertilizer and Aluminum Industries)
•Main source of fluoridation chemicals: The fluoride added to water is typically not pharmaceutical-grade sodium fluoride, but rather fluorosilicic acid (H₂SiF₆) or sodium fluorosilicate—which are industrial byproducts.
•Where they come from: These chemicals are byproducts of phosphate fertilizer production (especially from phosphate rock processing). Companies that produce phosphate fertilizers (e.g., Mosaic Co., CF Industries) profit by selling what would otherwise be hazardous waste.
•Profit motive: Instead of paying for expensive hazardous waste disposal, these companies sell fluorosilicic acid to municipalities—turning a liability into a revenue stream.

⸻

2. Chemical Distribution Companies
•Companies like Solvay, Brenntag, or Univar Solutions act as middlemen that supply water treatment chemicals to municipalities. They profit by:
•Purchasing fluoridation chemicals from fertilizer manufacturers at low cost.
•Marking up the price and selling to cities and water districts under contracts.

⸻

3. Engineering and Consulting Firms
•These include firms that:
•Design, install, and maintain fluoridation systems in municipal water plants.
•Offer consulting on compliance with health regulations.
•Examples include Jacobs Solutions, AECOM, or smaller regional firms.
•They profit through municipal contracts and maintenance agreements.

⸻

4. Public Health Institutions (Indirectly)
•Organizations like the American Dental Association (ADA) or Centers for Disease Control (CDC) don’t profit directly, but receive funding (private or public) and lobbying support to advocate for fluoridation.
•Grant funding, dental research sponsorships, and industry partnerships often follow pro-fluoridation stances.
•Some ties exist between public health officials and industries supplying the chemicals, but they’re typically obfuscated through intermediaries or foundations.

⸻

5. Regulatory Capture and Waste Disposal Avoidance
•The EPA does not regulate the safety of the fluoridation chemical itself as a pharmaceutical, only its efficacy in water treatment.
•Thus, fluoridation sidesteps toxic waste laws, saving corporations millions in hazardous waste disposal costs.
•Key loophole: Because it’s sold as a “water additive,” the same fluoride compound escapes classification as toxic waste once sold.

⸻

Summary

EntityHow They Profit
Fertilizer/Aluminum CompaniesSell toxic byproducts instead of paying for disposal
Chemical DistributorsMarkup on municipal supply contracts
Engineering/Consulting FirmsMunicipal infrastructure contracts
Public Health OrganizationsIndirect benefit via grants, funding, and political capital
Government ContractorsAvoid hazardous waste regulations and reduce costs

If you aren't Catholic then you don't believe that this Pope was elected through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, so you'll troll through his twitter feed and analyze his selection through a modern political lens, as if he was just elected to a seat in the US senate rather than the Chair of Saint Peter.

If you are a believing Catholic then you do (or should) believe that his election is ordained by God. You view it through the lens of 2,000 years of Church history and the eternal will of the Almighty God. From that perspective, playing the gotcha game with old tweets is silly and bizarre.

This is why any conversation about the Pope on this site is destined to be disjointed, confused, and ultimately useless.

Just spent the weekend with my former classmates from Stanford and Harvard. Some wouldn't acknowledge me because I'm supporting Trump.

My question for them - which of the goals do you disagree with:
*Fixing our border?
*Driving government efficiency?
*Reforming the education system?
*Correcting the broken global trading system?
*Ensuring global peace?
*Reducing industry capture of government?
*Transforming the healthcare system?

For my entire life, people complained about the government "not addressing the big issues."

Well - nobody can deny the government is finally working today to solve the world's largest challenges. The White House is chock full of some of the most capable people in the world who don't need to be there - working 20 hours a day to help solve them.

Whatever you think of Trump, these are the goals the admin is working to achieve. They are not left/right issues. They are civilizational.

Everyone agrees these problems need to be solved. And it is a fact that given the industries these changes disrupt, the media will be running hourly stories about how "disastrous" everything is going. It is lame to say "I agree with the goals but disagree with the steps being taken."

There is a unique moment to solve existential issues. If not now, when are we going to do it? My humble question to friends with Trump Derangement Syndrome - are you part of the solution, or unwittingly part of the problem?

As we pray our way through this Easter Octave I encourage everyone to turn especially to the Holy Mass, the Rosary and to the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

Pray for the eternal rest of Pope Francis, for the Cardinals who will soon gather in Conclave and for Christ’s Bride the Church to be renewed in the risen Lord.

May the Light of the Risen Christ guide us. 🙏
