Life expectancy in the US is 4.1 years shorter than in comparable countries.
This certainly won’t improve with RFK in charge of public health.

That is the most revolting and disgusting selfie and comment I’ve ever seen.
In most European countries that suffered from Nazi atrocities it would end you in jail
Totally despicable. An SS cap would complement his smirk
US soldiers and their allies gave their lives to defeat this evil in WWII

Did anyone read ‘All men are mortal’ by Simone de Beauvoir?
It tells the story of Raimon Fosca, born in the 13th-century northern Italian town of Carmona.
A man cursed to live forever.
It’s a fantastic read..
After reading it would you choose to be immortal?

Visited Pompeii last weekend for the fourth time.
The closest one can get to every day life in a roman city frozen in time. Still amazes me every time I stroll in it.
I won’t post the naughty frescos 😂
There is a real time account of the disaster by Pliny the Elder who led a rescue mission..

So much better than whatever you can buy in the supermarket..
And a sense of satisfaction when it looks and tastes great 😊

It reminds me of a time when GOP senators and representatives had a moral compass, decency and a spine.
When their oath to defend the constitution of the USA meant something..

What kills us now and in 1900.
In 1900 most people died of infectious diseases that are now preventable or curable with vaccines and antibiotics
Covid-19 was the first pandemic in a century, but wont be the last, to remind us that infectious diseases are not gone.
Pandemic preparedness is key.
