Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

Repeat Covid infections increase your risk of Long Covid.
We are in a mass disabling event that too many people are choosing to ignore.
Every infection is a dice roll with disability, and many (children included) are being infected once a year or more.
Mask up, clean the air, get boosted!

Can you imagine what would happen if the US responded to a viral surge by doing *any* of this?
The article makes it sound like Honduras has a better functioning public health response sys. than the US does - & a more sensible populace. Something to reflect on.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.”

The Horniman Natural History Gallery features this stunning walrus.
It was transported to England, purchased in 1886. There, the taxidermists, having never seen one in the wild, stuffed it until the wrinkles smoothed out.
This is a fully inflated walrus, my friends.
