“But you can just get them pulled for much cheaper, and then only eat pulpy food. It’s all just cosmetics, never mind the stigma surrounding missing teeth, or having to eat pulpy food since you can no longer chew. If your workplace has a kitchen, just ask your boss for pulpy foods, I guess he’s kindhearted enough.”
This kind of toxic positivity towards capitalism in the name of “ideological neutrality” permuates the modern health industry, anti-seizure and anti-depressant medication causing the recipient to need more sleep often being sold as “becoming even healthier through more sleep” and similarly just told to ask their boss for a “part-time position” if they need, weight gain is being sold as “a good motivator for healthier lifestyles”, and so on. This causes the general masses to be disillusioned with modern health care, and puts them into the hands of healthcare swindlers like RFK Jr., or even churches. Scientology is just the more openly anti-psychiatry example, but even the catholic church is profitting off of defunded health care and many people, including the politicians, selling priests as an alternative to mental health services.
