It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

I wonder how women who voted for Trump are feeling about this? For ex. initial trials for cholesterol drugs were done mostly in men, which led to yrs of ?? about whether or not they worked for women. Certain cancer work on genes more prevalent in Asian populations. So now we’ll play a guessing game.

Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!
That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

I’m even happier with my decision to no longer spend any of my money with Amazon.
Amazon disregarded internal warnings on injuries of its warehouse employees, according to a report by a Senate panel led by Bernie Sanders.

I haven’t ordered anything from Amazon since late Oct. That stunt Bezos pulled with WAPO not being allowed to endorse a candidate really pissed me off. I cancelled Prime. And I haven’t shopped at Whole Foods. Am I making an impact on his bottom line? No. But this pettiness is highly satisfying.
