A controversial proposal from U.S Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to let bird flu naturally spread through poultry farms is raising alarms among scientists – who say the move could be inhumane and dangerous.

I love how the U.S. spent like 90 years building up soft power around the world and we are giving it all up in like a 3 month span.
Every person in charge of an agency, is literally not qualified to run a grocery store let alone the agencies they run.
Its alll about loyalty now, and its going to send the U.S. back into the dark age.
We were already a 3rd world country in comparison to most of our allies. Now we are speedrunning becoming a 7th world country
That’s not what third world country means.
That’s dumb, leave the U.S. sometime. Despite the problems in the U.S., we are still one of the richest countries on the planet. I went to a plant in Mexico for work a few years ago, and there were people living in sheds with no running water, entire neighborhoods of that. Outside of homeless people, even our poorest people have it better than a lot of other countries.
Says a lot about a country that they’d enjoy such riches and look to their neighbor and allow them to languish so. Really Christian.
I mean, it’s not my choice. I can yell and scream about how my taxes are used till I’m blue in the face and they’re still gonna use it on the military industrial complex.
They really want us to believe we are powerless. They shoot people for making them wonder if that’s actually true. Idk, maybe we’re not so powerless.
I live in the EU now, coming from the US. The US is almost comically backward. The effectiveness of its propaganda is incredible, that the people living there really don’t know what the rest of the world is like. Yes, I have been to Mexico. I’ve also been to towns in northern New Mexico where the majority of the population doesn’t have electricity or phone service. I’ve been to countries where much of the population lived in poverty, but most of them they still had phones at least. I’d say the US is currently just above mid tier from the perspective of median income vs cost of living. In the developed countries I’ve been to, even when they have lower incomes, they at least have much lower cost of living to make up for it. The US has got to be the most expensive place I’ve ever spent time in, except maybe Denmark. So yes, income is high, but I doubt seriously that there are many places less affordable for median-income residents, at least in the developed world.
I would love to leave the US, but I can’t afford that. I can barely afford to do to college as it is, I work full time plus do commissions in my spare time and I am thousands in debt just to pay for it. If I had the money to travel, I would instead spend it on moving somewhere where my access to HRT could be guaranteed, where I can be safer.
This country might be rich but it is not turning that wealth around to help its people. I don’t get disability benefits despite being disabled because I am not disabled enough. I don’t get healthcare benefits, I have to pay out of pocket and I pay more per year because of things outside of my control.
comparing US to mexico was not the point. Mexico city is beautiful and modern however, comparable to new york city in my book.
Japan is much nicer than the USA in almost every aspect. I really enjoyed traveling around Japan. I spent most of my time in third world countries, and still found a lot of aspects comparable. You know most of the world has nicer airports than us?
Madness is like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

and the general population hasnt got a clue what “soft power” even is
Every person in charge of an agency was literally selected for the express purpose of destroying that agency. It’s not incompetence, and it’s not an accident. It is deliberate sabotage and treason.
Thank you. The only thing they’re trying to run is our current system straight into the ground, so they can build their fascist bullshit on top of it.
checks notes Yup, I think “sending america back to the dark ages” is the intention. I actually think if written from the perspective of the men, a frightening amount of current gov leaders in the U.S. would unironically enjoy the “Utopia” in a handmaids tail.
