This is not criticism of you or Oster, as you both are obviously already on the "let's look into whether claims about risk/safety are overblown" beat, and do a great job at it, but for everyone else:

Every time something like this comes up, I wonder what [actually serious thing] is going on that everyone would like to ignore and instead hype talk about [gas stoves], which has no relevant reason to be Main Topic this week. Honestly, I hate to give praise to a senator, but Manchin is exactly right: the response to this shouldn't be "yay ban gas!" or "no don't ban gas" it should be: "What vastly more important (or more harmful, or less infringing on freedom) thing are we (or the CPSC) ignoring?" Like when the CDC had vaping and mushrooms as 2 of the 3 topic "epidemics" to fight. If we argue about whether or vaping is actually bad or good, that misses the point, which is: wtf is wrong with this agency's priorities?
