Is it unethical for me to go on dates knowing I’m incapable of being loved at this specific time

The amount of people who genuinely believe the US military won’t turn on citizens if ordered is troubling at best.

The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency.

As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created.

Texan here

A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided!

Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks.

Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier.

This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses.

How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.

walking home from the hospital you work at when it’s pitch black and freezing while listening to “dirty work” really gives you some perspective

This is awful. America should have the best-paid teachers in the world. We should be investing in education — our future — instead of spending trillions of dollars on endless wars all over the planet.

What’s the US’s “fourth” city. NYC, Milwaukee, and Green Bay are pretty clearly the top 3 but the 4th is more ambiguous. I feel like the main contenders are probably Madison, Racine, Minoqua, or maybe Chicago

Our tax dollars will be used to refund corporations for tariff costs that were already passed on to us. They’re picking our pockets twice.

it honestly doesn’t matter that he was a nurse or anything to describe him as the good person he clearly was. ICE should not be killing people in the street.

Look, here’s the trade off: Americans won’t have healthcare or be able to afford their homes or have job security or any social safety net at all BUT the lives of people in other countries will also be ruined.
