    They didn’t say there’s a public health crisis “on crimes,” they said there’s a public health crisis of gun violence, which is obviously very accurate. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but when it comes to public health, guns can actually only have a negative impact. That’s how they’re designed.

      So is inflation an epidemic too? How about climate change? It all affects health! We should let the SG pass any law he wants!

          I would argue that it does actually.

          It reduces the access to heathy food and health products that have a long-term impact on your health

        Again, they didn’t pass a law, they’re not a legislative body.

        But you bring up a good point, climate change is a public health crisis. I’d actually be worried if the Surgeon General wasn’t worried about it. Inflation’s just a symptom of capitalism though, you gotta get to the root of the problem if you want real change.
