I would be happy if they could get a couple of daft things right.
First is "Math". "You do the math"? I thought it is short for Mathematics, so "You do the maths".
Sadly i'm hearing people here (and on TV) now saying "Math". Drives me nuts!
Next bugbear is this Month Day Year shit. Either Day Month Year, or at least Year Month Day if you must!

A girl asked me what my perfect date would be once. I told her 'It would be in day month year format'.

China has it right. It bugs me that it isn't Year - Month - Day in terms of a default for files at work.
 
RFK directing the CDC to end their recommendation that water be fluoridated.

The US is fucked and it will take at least a decade to reverse the damage this administration does.

From AP:
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday said he plans to tell the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending fluoridation in communities nationwide. Kennedy said he’s assembling a task force of health experts to study the issue and make new recommendations.

Also on Monday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it is reviewing “new scientific information” on potential health risks of fluoride in drinking water. The EPA sets the maximum level allowed in public water systems.

Kennedy cannot order communities to stop fluoridation, but he can direct the CDC to stop recommending it and work with the EPA to change the allowed amount.

**
Utah has already ordered stopping in a month's time.

The first paragraph is the wrongheadedness - stop and then study, rather than study while continuing.

A single negative study in a sea of positive data does not constitute 'evidence'. That's how the anti-vax movement took hold, and now children are dying from measles.

The guy is a complete nut job. Should be nowhere near the levers of power.
