Bytes, come on, please provide an archived link for RFK Jr. This has been 2 days in a row. Your posts are great, but I'll just pull right away from now on. I'll give everyone a half hour if you don't want me to pull it for this one, but this is a warning.
If you can't figure out why this community requires an archived link, ask yourself if you can tell if RFK really said this.

I wish I knew their Venmo handles so I could send requests for whatever they consider to be small chunks of change. I’m sure I wouldn’t get much, but as Michael Scott said, “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
Real Lucille Bluth vibes.
"it's just one banana Michael. How much could it cost, $10?"
Tiny fraction of what?
The brain worm has no concept of money, so I kind of get it. I wonder if the brain worm is helping the covid virus stay around so they can together kill off humans.

It’s a demoralization tactic, and it’s working.
The US census bureau says the median income was $47960. (Doesn't invalidate your point of course)
Oh, let me pack my summer bag and hop on over then.
Let's make sure we understand what he was comparing:
"During the hearing, Rep. Josh Harder (D-Cali.) claimed that the average American would have to pay over $286,000 out of pocket to receive the same addiction treatment that he had."
