IMHO it doesn't help that the middle class in California especially are health obsessed. Couple that with a kind of contrarian or rationalist/conspiratorial mindset in the public intellectuals(think Phil Dick or even Musk/Thiel -- I wanted to say not medically knowledgeable but you have got various Stanford profs too) -- you get healthcare very ripe.. eg cancer warnings on pretty much every consumable? "Science" is like a means to what an end!

- pyuser583 5y agoI’m aware of the law. But it’s maddening how the law doesn’t really tell anyone what to do. A building has one of these pro-forma signs in front of it. Should a pregnant woman not go in the building?
- strken 5y agoThis was one of the very stupid things about California. You'd have buildings with warnings that the upholstery in the chairs was manufactured using chemicals known to cause cancer, but have no idea what that actually meant. Are other chairs any safer? Am I at risk if they wash the fabric first? Is there any meaningful lower bound to the risk? What chemical is it, exactly?
