  1. Not talking about health doesn't mean he won't do anything about it. RFK's plan to reform the HHS can prove to be a great step forward in having a healthier population in the first place. And removing as many illegal immigrants as possible will also reduce the burden on housing that has been created in the last 4 years. The US has to become healthier before anything, you people have to admit that both the food industry and big pharma are happy to create food addictions and to treat them while becoming rich off of everyone. So fixing the underlying problem is something RFK manages to at least start doing in the US. I'm not convinced that drilling is the right solution, I quite dislike that, but obviously energy prices are high and taking them down will have ripple effects in the economy, down to everyday people who have to afford buying a lot of things. Driving the prices down is beneficial. Hopefully the car industry will shift to making more EVs to reduce both pollution in traffic, as well as the need for fossil fuels. And hopefully more Americans realize that ICE cars are part of the problem. Also, one way to address the "environmental justice" problem is to make manufacturers more responsible for their products. So far I haven't seen the US adopt proper consumer protection, at least comparable to that in Europe (not perfect but way better than in the US). By enforcing stricter rules on manufacturing and sales to protect the consumer, you get better quality products that last for longer, which significantly reduces the waste. I know Trump wants more manufacturing in the US, but I'm not sure if consumer protection is on his agenda. As a senator, maybe you can push this important thing forward. Consumers should also be (better) educated on using less power hungry appliances and devices, since that in itself immediately lowers the cost to operate and energy demand. In many cases a small difference in price can lead to a lot of savings after purchase, which is something that people have to be conscious about - this is in our power to do, regardless of who's in charge.
