Healthy radium cigarettes This one was inspired by a tweet I saw a few years ago, something along the lines of “machine learning is the radium salts of the twenty-first century”.

"President Donald Trump, who once declared he had 'saved' flavored vapes, grew his stock holdings this year to as much as $1.64 million in tobacco giant Philip Morris. He also had holdings in Altria and a third leading tobacco company, though an apparent discrepancy in his disclosures clouds the extent of his investments." https://kffhealthnews.org/courts/fda-tobacco-vape-vaping-ecigarette-smoking-trump-investments-maga-donations/ #PublicHealth #tobacco #vaping #FDA #stocks #trading #COI #corruption #USpol
