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.

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.
The US has almost 775,000 homeless people according to January 2024 data, which are more than likely underestimating the full scale of the issue. I doubt those people have the privilege of sheds. Doesn’t that make the US worse?
“Outside of homeless people” is such crazy goalpost-moving rhetoric when the conversation is about people in extreme poverty.
That’s a fair point. We don’t treat homeless 0eople like human beings and its disgusting.
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.
“Richest” doesn’t mean what you think it means
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.
