uh because you know something happened and i didn't really understand how politics worked in it and you have to realize that that in this particular arena there are a variety of other factors and so uh for me when i go out to the community i don't think a lot of people make the connection yeah between health politics you know what can you do how can you be involved all those kinds of things so i'm in total agreement with you there is a political

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we throw those initials around a lot. I think so, too. And many people don't understand exactly how these particular governmental agencies impact their health or what they do to affect their health. And I think for many people, it's too much to think about. You know, and I mean, and I say that, I say that people don't want to think about it.

But yet at the same time, it's really, really important. As you were talking before about COVID and the mental health piece about it. There's a lot of things that are happening. I know that we're going to have a conversation about fake news and all those kind of things coming up.

Right now, the health factors that are impacting us as a result of the political decisions that are being made or not made is something that's very, very important to think about. I think about this. This is what I think about. I just had this conversation a couple of days ago with someone.

We had this person on that was talking about, well, actually, I took a trip down to the water plant in Minneapolis. And, you know, city of Minneapolis, they inspect their waters 500 times a day. They test their waters 500 times a day. What he told me was that Flint, Michigan, the things that happened in Flint, Michigan could have been avoided for about $2,000.

There was a political piece going on there, but for $2,000, we had this huge issue And they assumed part of that was some political decisions that were being made. So I don't think that people really do get the fact that there are some health factors that are also impacted by our political will or less or not will.

You know, Shane, I was going to say, you know, our topic today was politics and its effect on health. And I really don't, I don't believe that many people understand, you know, who you vote for. Yeah. Voting. making sure that you have people that understand the importance of health. I mean, you put people in places and they don't want to provide coverage for groups and for those kinds of things.

It's... Politics has a major, major role in terms of the health of a community. You know, all the zoning laws. I mean, you know, you know, people are, you know, people, the zoning laws, you know, you put people in and they say, well, we're going to have an incinerator here. You know, they're right next door to a to a community.

that's politics, you know, and people are putting people in that just says, yeah, yeah, we'll go to both of that. And so I think it's important that people really do understand that there is a real connection. And, you know, between this and our health, and it's not something that we normally explore.

I was actually in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago at the Academy of Health. And one of the posters that was there was this poster that this lady created around the coverage of mental health services in communities. So they're actually mapping out services to communities. And what they were saying, this is what she said, and I hope I'm saying this correctly.
