@EdnaK_@lostblackboy Great for allergies. And after a year without a cold, I figure my immune system is craving the next virus I encounter without a mask.
@oliviacpaschal Brilliant. I think I've read every one of these stories. One variation: "How anti-vaxxers in a county with a higher-than-state-average vaccination rate are killing old people."
@GrahamMarema My favorite phrase in police log is "the parties were advised of the proper action." It is usually clear from context what the proper action should be. Don't let your dog bark all night. Don't park on the grass. Turn down da noise. Often it's "call a friend, not the police."

The food supply chain is dominated by a handful of corporations, giving them the power to underpay farmers + overcharge consumers.
Addressing this corporate power is one of the most important things the Biden admin can do to improve our food system.
