If vaccines don’t work, why is the FDA allowing them to be used with seniors and other high risk individuals? Because they actually do work.
Also, if vaccines are so dangerous, why would the FDA allow them to be given to the most vulnerable people? Because they are not dangerous.

“Uh oh... Trump's making history": he's the 1st president since the S&P 500 was created in 1957 to inherit a bull market & turn in a loss of at least 5% at this point in his presidency.
This isn't like other early declines. Trump took a bull & is turning it into a bear.”

In just a few short weeks, Trump is doing to America what he did to the Taj Mahal. He will leave the former like he did the latter: bankrupt and crumbling, without giving a damn about the people whose lives he ruined or the suffering left in his wake.

He Bankrupted His Casino. Now He's Bankrupting Our Country.
Throughout three presidential campaigns, people who’ve voted for Donald Trump have repeatedly said they’ve done so, in part, because he was a “successful businessman.”

As of 7/1/24, the adult US population was approximately 340,000,000. In the 2024 election, appx 152,000,000 voted. Of those, approximately 77,300,000 voted for Trump. This means only 22.3% of US adults voted for him. As a company, does it make sense to align your policies w/ 22.3% of the population?

Costco shareholders just sent a clear message: DEI is here to stay.
Attempts to roll back progress were crushed—because diversity isn’t a ‘risk,’ it’s a strength. 🔥
So, keep the $1.50 hotdogs coming 🌭

I see a lot of people talking about where we should shop now. Here is a thought: let’s all cut back on shopping altogether. Hear me out. Buy necessities and save money. Shop at independent/progressive businesses when you buy. Reuse what you have [CONTINUED below]

Egg prices hit record highs this week.
Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.
How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.
His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

Just a thought for someone like @bcuban.bsky.social w/ resources & wants to make a difference. Create a social site that focuses on preserving and sharing real education (the stuff they are taking out of the schools) but make it edgy & fun so the youth will use it. And have real content moderators.
