Skeets Of The Day

 

Medical programs, Social Security, NOAA go in the DOdGEy woodchipper --

 

The Trump administration terminates funding for polio, HIV, malaria and nutrition programs around the world. “People will die,” said Dr. Catherine Kyobutungi of the African Population and Health Research Center, “but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.”

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

Continuing story, how many lives/wrecked bodies went into what Elon called the "wood chipper" when he illegally shut down USAID. Crimes are one thing. But Elon's body count will cry out down through the ages.

NOTE TO MAGA SENIORS: After calling Social Security “the biggest fraud in history” and labeling beneficiaries as “the parasite class,” Elon Musk orders HALF of all Social Security Administration employees to be fired. NO COMPLAINING WHEN YOUR CHECK IS LATE, OK?

In addition to the needless suffering, wrecking the SSDI system has political implications that Trump & Musk haven't bothered to understand. That would be a far more significant problem for, say, West Virginia & Kentucky than for California & New Jersey. www.kff.org/other/state-...

If nothing else, and way too late, people who believed that government does nothing of value are now getting some remedial civic education.
