To be clear, this is just a small thing now. There is every chance this will not grow into a big thing. No need to construct your isolation bunker yet. Unless that's your hobby, and then I say go for it. But we are in what could be the early stages of a new pandemic. The latest incarnation of H5N1 bird flu is highly contagious - between birds - and is affecting countless birds all over the United States. Some humans have caught this bird flu, but they have all caught it from animals and not from other people. Yet. Here's the part that explains why you should keep an eye on this. Note I said "caught from animals". Because another population that has caught a mutation of this bird flu is cattle, and particularly cattle in California. The largest cluster of people that caught bird flu were working with or drinking raw milk from such cows. There isn't a whole lot of interaction between birds and people in the US, but there is between cattle and people, one vector being drinking raw milk which is taking off among conservatives because they are dumb. The more the virus is bouncing around between cattle and people, the greater the chance of it changing to a form that is easily spread among people.
Don't worry about that, guys. When RFK cuts the CDC budget and all the epidemiologists there and at state health departments are laid off, we won't have a pandemic! It'll go away, like magic. If you don't test for it, then it's not real. That and sunshine up you *** and bleach in your lungs will cure anything. No one knew that until I told them. They said, Sir, you're the smartest president we've ever worked with.
The Department of Elon Musk Names Things Like a 12 Year Old actually isn't the first time the Republicans tried something like that. When Reagan came to office, he created the Grace Commission, and advisory panel whose job it was to find government waste and cut it out. The amount they eventually cut from the government was... essentially zero. https://www.yahoo.com/news/rude-awakening-store-doge-bros-110044574.html
They could always cut back on per diem rates for international travel. The amounts they give are ludicrous. But given they are the primary beneficiaries of it, no way on earth would they reduce them.
Cut back on subsidies to go to Mars....I'd be cool with that. Who give's a shit 'bout Mars??? Earth First!!
One privileged team replaced with another. And Messi is probably going to return, and this time MLS will make sure their team wins
This year, Nick Rimando was voted into the soccer hall of fame. He never won GKotY. It’s because of shit like this.
Among other stupid crap Donnie said on Meet The Press, he wants to get rid of birthright citizenship. Which means repealing the 14th Amendment. Which needs approval from 3/4 of state legislatures. Which mean ain't gonna happen.
