Maybe the leopards are not eating the faces. They want us to die of dysentery or some other easily preventable thing in painful ways.
Who lost their jobs at the FDA?

The people who determine if a costly drug is ready to be a generic

The people who test food and drugs for contaminants and deadly bacteria in several labs were let go

The people talking to overseas drug safety regulators to get ahead of foodborne illness & deaths
FDA Layoffs Could Raise Drug Costs and Erode Food Safety (Gift Article)
Trump cutbacks were supposedly aimed at administrators. But scientists in food and drug-testing labs and policy experts who advance generic drug approvals were also dismissed.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

I grew up in the district of Rep. Lynch. I’m loving how he is bringing Boston-style fire down on them!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

“Will the gentleman yield?”

Lynch: “No, I’m not going to yield.”

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Rep. Lynch - go go go!

It’s comforting to know that our economy is now being driven by Howard Lutnick channeling the ghosts of Smoot & Hawley rolled out by a front man in orange makeup and high heels who bankrupted casinos.

Yup. This is every "dream job": 10% doing the thing, 90% doing everything else required to get to do that 10%.
I've got a photographer friend, and so many folks think it must be lovely to just show up, take a few pictures and get paid, without considering the thousands of hours that go into self promotion, handling finances, networking, and all the many things that aren't taking pictures.
