Thank you. So many people in so many different fields are suffering and wondering, “what the fuck?” And of course they are all incredibly important. But it’s good to see someone outside of the field acknowledge what a colossal, unbelievable, dystopian cluster fuck the current health situation is.

So relieved to have learned that that study showing we all have a full plastic spoon worth of microplastics in our brain was debunked and we only have about 2% of a plastic spoon in our brains worth of microplastic.

PHEW, that is WAY less spoon in our brains

For those confused by the China tariff news:

• Trump caved and got zero in return
• No manufacturing moved back to the USA
• 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans
• 90 day pause still causes uncertainty

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers.

In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them.

So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.
