![[indent] The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. [/indent]
Before getting into anything else: this is bullshit. It is an extremely evidence-based claim, backed by dozens of studies spread over decades. Vaccines do not, in fact, cause autism. Studies have also not "ruled out the possibility" that I will one day emerge, Venus-like, from a giant clam shell floating one hundred meters above the Gateway Arch in St. Louis to sing a glorious a capella rendition of "The Boys Are Back in Town."

I can save Target Corporate a lot of training headaches. Speaking for all lifelong Upper Midwesterners of Scandinavian descent, we do not want any employees smiling at us, asking us about our day, or approaching us in any way, unless we're having some kind of medical emergency.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:
1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good
2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad
Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.
