I see where you are coming from on this, and I misspoke failing to consider that in the WhatsGarbage scenario Meta functions as their own CA.

It's hard to keep track

As the CDC said, disease is the cost of doing business

Comparing an ebike to a car is a bit of a stretch

Virtually every US citizen has been exposed to said radiation for decades. We also don't need a study to prove that paving roads doesn't cause flat tires.

It seems you and RFK Jr have something in common: you both need to get a basic education. The history of the world is full of brilliant heroin addicts.

Don't you mean speak ill of Deadbert?
