Okay so apparently the Indian government has an organization called HIMANK in charge of building infrastructure on their border with China and someone somewhere in the bureaucracy decided that all the road signs should have those silly quotes your aunt sends you on Facebook.

I’m sure MAHA will be fine with this. I bet Alex Jones won’t even start talking about gay frogs again. Those antivaxxers won’t even be concerned with mentioning how their food is impure and full of chemicals. They’ll all magically be onboard with teen testicular cancer in the name of Trump.

It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

This is their goal. Let people starve to death, blame it on the Democrats, and they've reduced the number of those who vote for their opponents. Same as with letting COVID rip. 'So (poor, disabled, elderly, veteran, pregnant, rural, young, Black, brown, queer) people die? So what?'
Thinking about how poor disabled and aging people may be impacted this is a multitude of ways–they may not be able to get food, and their care workers may not either (for those who have them), leading to less good support for disabled folks as starving people don't make the best workers.

Again this is because they have a desired moral economy which has no relationship to the actual economy.
1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.
2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.
3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!
