I'm not offended easily.

Birth rate talk pisses me off.

Humanity is in NO danger of extinction because of the birth rate. Capitalism, climate change, nuclear proliferation, and humans' addiction to killing each other? THAT should be the concern.

There are 2 articles in the Guardian:
1️⃣ stating that exhaustion is at EPIDEMIC levels
2️⃣ "The UK’s productivity crisis is one of the biggest challenges facing our economy and long-term health conditions in the workforce are a major factor in this"

🤦‍♀️Neither mentions #LongCovid
UK to lose 600000 workers to illness without better health support at work Tired all the time? There may be a simple reason for that Levels of fatigue among women in Britain are soaring, and this isn’t the kind that can be cured by a nap. What lies behind the exhaustion epidemic?

The US is the purple line bottoming out. Our economy may still roar, but we’re killing ourselves. Hoarding wealth, refusing to even ensure our kids have enough to eat. That line is an indictment. It reflects our warped values.

This graph never fails to be shocking: "The US has experienced the earliest and greatest slowdown in life expectancy improvements among higher-income countries, reported Eileen Crimmins. “We have horrible life expectancy—and it’s getting worse and worse”"

www.prb.org/resources/se...
Graph showing life expectancy trends in 23 higher income countries between 1980 and 2024. Life expectancy increased over time in all countries. In 1980, the US is in the middle of the pack, but their life expectancy gains were slower than that of other countries, and by around 2002, the US had the lowest life expectancy of all countries. Over the next 20 years, US life expectancy increasingly tracks away from the trajectories of other countries, as their life expectancy stalls while other countries life expectancy continues to climb

Want to help feed people during the SNAP shutdown and also enter to win a whole bunch of cool stuff?

Donate to any food bank, food pantry, or mutual aid group that distributes food, post a receipt here, and I'll use a random number generator to draw a winner.

I literally have 5 miles left in the tank, just enough to roll to a corner station right around the corner. I'm out of food & have ½ a gallon of water left. I don't know what I'm going to do without help. I'm a disabled homeless vet
