"Vaccine fatigue" is one of the most absurdly privileged things I've ever heard of.

This is the fault of antivaxxers, infectious disease minimizers, and inept public health leaders.
Measles vaccinations fell to 40% during pandemic, before it was 85-90%. people aren’t getting vaccine because of many factors, including vaccine fatigue

Who would have imagined that having to get a series of Covid shots would lead people to give up on vaccines that have saved lives for decades?

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Germany is saying no to autogenocide, no to oligarchy, and no to impunity. Thousands are taking a stand against fascism ahead of the election. No matter the results they won't bend the knee to oligarchy. #3E

If academics & K-12 teachers don’t fight back, we’ll be sending kids to the Jordan Peterson Christofascist Megachurch Academy, where the only curriculum is obedience & the only skill is bowing to billionaire morons—while they spread plagues & kill us all before the climate even gets the chance.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

... uh, if you're a federal employee considering this, let me strongly recommend you retain your own lawyer to prepare an opinion letter to you saying they think you will actually get all of this.

So at least then you can sue the lawyer when Trump & Musk inevitably pull the rug out from under you.
