Plus disabled people, plus people in an abusive relationship, plus depressed people, plus people who are just plain gross. Who wouldn't want to live in a world where all these people have better teeth?

Sorry, you're right, I was a bit... hyperbolic. You can drink it every day without problems since 1) it's not as pure as we like to think it is and 2) you can easily get all your minerals and stuff from your food.

The danger is if you decide to chug a bunch of water for one reason or another. It's easier to give yourself water intoxication with distilled water, essentially because the osmotic pressure is so much higher relative to the inside of your cells. This isn't actually a problem most people have to worry about, water intoxication is pretty rare, but I'm used to thinking in terms of hardcore athletes. It would be foolish to drink only distilled water for a marathon, for example.

Their teeth will be less fucked with fluorinated water.

I was going to help improve public health, but then I learned we'd have to pay someone money in order to do it, so I chose to keep my hands clean of such a disgusting act.

If you water had nothing in it, it would be dangerous to drink. Distilled and/or 18 MΩ water can kill you, if you're not careful.

Republicans are literally trying.

Free universal healthcare is cheaper than the current US system for a whole pile of reasons, mainly by consolating the consumer into one giant bargaining group. But there are secondary savings, like enabling people to get regular check ups to catch things early before they get expensive. It also enables them to go to the doctor when they need it, instead of gambling that they'll get better; it's cheaper if many people go in for small things than if a few people go in for large things.

They can buy bottled water and pay for their stupidity.

Let us suppose that brushing alone gives you maximum benefit you can get from fluoride.

There are people out there who can't brush their teeth as often as they should, for reasons outside their control. Why should we deprive them of the benefit of fluorinated water? It makes no difference to us. Would you rather live in a world with more tooth problems, or fewer?

Playeur has a few decent creators, but we could always encourage more to cross post.

EEVDF?

From an ethical standpoint I would say teenagers should be allowed to send each other nudes, but from a corporate liability standpoint I don't wanna have anything to do with that.
