He was a ghoul who was directly involved with cannibalizing the USSR after the illegal dissolution, seems like he has been on some kind of anti-american redemption arc in the last 10 years and has been a pretty consistent voice against imperialism and US hegemony but I feel like his angle is more like "the US used to be good but now we have gone off the deep end"

Yeah it's certainly a valid concern. I can only hope that all their organizations and unions and such are actively training organizers who will be able to take on leadership roles
There is no study to suggest 129 ppb of Arsenic is dangerous.
Sorry but I don't really see how this quote of yours is much different from what I paraphrased.
You did say reducing is good but that was one line couched in a lot of language implying that this article should be disregarded and you said that rice is fine and that heavy metals in rice is normal. While it is true that heavy metals can be found in foods sometimes, I don't think implying that this study should be disregarded is ideal, and if you didn't mean to imply that, it did come off that way to me.
I'll absolutely admit I failed to clarify this applies only to certain common cooking methods. Still, the underlying point is still valid - the methodology did not account for this seemingly significant factor.
They do talk about this and encourage people to do it, but I really don't think it is a common cooking method to use 6-10 cups of water per cup of rice and dump the water out. I come from a rice eating culture and married into a different one, I've worked in restaurants, I've never heard of anyone doing this. It is certainly not a "common cooking method."
I'm not trying to be combative or anything, I just saw your comment as the only one and got a totally different read from the piece and didn't want the default comment people read to be "nothing to see here folks," which is what it looked like to me. I know too many kids and adults who have gotten heavy metal poisoning, among the myriad other unnecessary and avoidable health risks people face, to see that and not offer another perspective
Because it's what the masses want. He has huge popular support and a proven track record of success. I imagine there is some element of justice involved for the people since he was supposed to get another term but got couped which is the only reason we got Arce
She posted a separate post about wanting to do that... Maybe not the best question
Ahh okay lol they love their technicalities
Fake email fake name
So anyway I started oblasting 
You said there is nothing stating arsenic is dangerous, which is false. No amount of heavy metal exposure is safe. These products contain heavy metals, including cadmium. The reason no amount is safe is because it accumulates in the body and can't be removed, and it accumulates from a variety of sources both known and unknown. It is especially dangerous for children, but adults also get heavy metal poisoning. You presented this as if everything is fine, nothing to see here and that isn't the case. You also said the majority leaches into water which is thrown away, which is false.
Rinsing before cooking does not reduce arsenic amounts. If you soak it over night and dump that it will help, especially if agitated during the soaking, but the research cited in this article explicitly says rinsing without at least a 30 min soak doesn't do it. The best method is to cook one cup of rice : 6-10 cups of water and then draining that water, adding fresh water and finishing the cooking
I don't think he's a Nazi or ex Nazi in a literal sense, more like a neoliberal economist who was doing what he believed in as a trained neoliberal economist, which happens to perpetuate the fascist US empire that at the time no one was really acknowledging as fascist. Some of the former military people in the alt media space are much closer to actual nazis than Sachs. Still, you are totally right about this trend of people who are on the right outflanking the left on these issues. Which makes sense because the alt-media platforms are also run by the right and the majority of English speakers are also on the right
