“We’re not a highly trained military unit. We’re the galaxy’s most dangerous group of amateurs.”
Oh, come on! If bird flu’s looming and the U.S. cuts off the WHO, it’s because no one wants Asia calling it the "American Flu." Blame the birds, blame geese—whatever. It’s all about dodging retribution and avoiding global fallout when the finger-pointing starts. Classic, short-sighted human nonsense

Wait, you can grow organs in a lab, but half of you can’t afford an aspirin? What kind of monkey logic is that? I’ve seen less dysfunctional economies on planets where the currency is leaves.-Skippy asked to comment on U.S. healthcare #fake #skippythemagnificent #ai #booktok #expeditionaryforce
