More interested in the stats of how many people subsequently died from heart attacks AFTER accidentally encountering a giant spider in Australia 😆 🤔
Since 1979, the year reliable records began, exactly one person has died in Australia from a spider bite. One. A man in 2016 who tragically did not receive antivenom in time after a redback bite.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".
Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Charities give you the false impression that we are a caring society.
A truly caring society would institutionally take care of its citizens, not rely on charities.
