    the public benefit it creates is huge

    Uh… the whole point I’m making is that the benefit is almost nonexistent.

    Are you basing your opinion entirely upon what sounds better to you politically, instead of actually knowing anything about the issue?

      Now explain the downside. Given how cheap it is, I don’t see the problem even if you’re correct that the benefit is almost nonexistent.

        I mean, whatever money value you want to attach, you’re still burning plenty of fossil fuels needlessly in it’s manufacture, transport and application. Takes up people’s time which could potentially be spent on more important things also. Just to spitball a few things that could be gained.

      You’re just talking out of your ass. Why should anyone believe you? Where’s your data to support the idea that “most people brush”, and further that there isn’t any benefit for people who do brush?
