High-crime areas can also drive up premiums due to increased risks of theft or vandalism.

I use mine to sign up for random crap and made a game of trying to get as much spam as possible. I tick all the e-mail options.

We’re not comparing with fluoridated tap water because that’s not something you can control as an individual. At most, you can put pressure on your city to add it in. Until that happens, and even after that happens, you still need to put in work to care for your own teeth. It’s very unhelpful to tell someone living in a city with unfluoridated tap water to just choose fluoridated tap water. They do not have that choice.

We’re comparing toothpaste to fluoride drops, not fluoridated tap water.

Why not just brush their teeth? I’m pretty sure fluoridated toothpaste is much easier to come by than fluoride drops.

Ever meet a kid that wanted to be a cop? Why do you think they had such aspirations? Surely not to uphold the status quo and maintain the power structures in our society. They’re idealistic kids who think they’ll be helping make the world a better place. That dream doesn’t suddenly die for everyone upon reaching adulthood. Would it be effective? Maybe not. But it’s not like people don’t make poor life decisions all the time.

You told me that you’re judging them for their chosen profession. Admittedly, I may be lacking in imagination here, but I don’t see what other information you could be basing these judgements on if it’s not their public behaviour or knowing literally every single person who’s ever wanted to be a cop and their motivation. The filtering process is irrelevant when we’re talking about the decision to go through the process at all.

You can’t imagine changing the system so that it stops being oppressive?

Selection bias. You’re basing this on what you know of active cops. The ones who died were not active cops.

For all we know, they could be the ones who tried to be the change we all want to see and thus got purposely weeded out.
