myrmepropagandistI went on Facebook (I know I know I know) and they are selling tinfoil hats.
The "Wavestopper" costs $88 Free Shipping!
(I checked. It is not an April Fools joke. Selling to people with "brain fog" feels a little predatory to me.)
Do you think the people selling this are laughing at their customers or are they into it?
It's like a damn joke.
Carolyn@futurebird They are exploiting the idiocy common today. Just look at the "wellness" industry and US gov. People are steaming parts of their anatomy that are not supposed to have air introduced, sunning their nether regions to power up for the day, sticking so many things up their hinies that have no business there, are vilifying life-saving vaccines...
So this hat is like a harmless nothing that I am sure many will buy and somehow feel safer for the wearing...
Sigh.
I don't think these things are harmless because they are a symptom of people not getting real help, and because it's a rip off.
I don't think it should be so easy to make money telling lies and ripping people off with false medical claims.
@futurebird Most wackos are very careful to have disclaimers about their claims. It would be interesting to see the fine print.
And, I agree with you. Laws should not be allowing this, but until they do, this is one of the less harmful things I've seen.
