So… in short, we have bird flu… more disturbingly on bird flu… among it’s potential jumping metrics are cows milk…
(while our HHS guy is pushing for unpasturized milk).
we’re anticipating a new branch of covid.
The president’s boss is one most against at home work, and really all measures that helped reduce the spread of the last virus.
We’re really shaping up for one hell of a health disaster.
Ironically the far right is borrowing playbooks from the USSR.

In really lazy simplified version… they politicized how plants should be grown, and imprissoned biologists that said “plants don’t work that way”. In short… nature doesn’t give a shit about politics. The weather doesn’t care if you believe in climate change, and you can’t teach plants to work collectively.
In short zelensky didn’t jump up and down at taking a deal so insanely over the top bad that literally would have been harsher than punishments they normally put on aggressors that lost in wars. (IE if I recall it was deemed even harsher than what was put on germany after WW1, which as we know is what set up germany’s economic strife that brought ww2.
Secondly their own admission… Zelensky said he needed parlimentary approval to accept the deal. AKA this guy who’s being accused of being a dictator by trumps whitehouse… wasn’t going to decide he had the authority to sign a “Ukraine gives half of what we have to the US forever” in exchange the US that is currently lead by a guy who, has a long history of not keeping his half of bargains, will promise to protect them.
He knows how to win a knife fight… step 1, bring 300 allies with semi automatic weapons… 2. Don’t actually step into the arena.
except that it isn’t the government it’s enriching…
Good news is, the sound of blowing the assailant away will draw the police to you.
and if you are white, they will say you defended yourself. (Results may vary if you aren’t… you may be held for murder, or shot on sight).
