When H5N1 avian influenza started spreading among dairy cattle across the U.S. this year, regulators warned against consuming unpasteurized milk. What happened? Raw milk sales went up.
Distributors of this unsafe-for-human-consumption product deny H5N1—which has the potential to sicken millions of people—is a danger. Dairy farmers decline to allow disease detectives onto their properties.
Can we please put some kindergarten nannies in charge of that nation…?
I don’t think you understand just how stupid my fellow country members are. We literally say “hey to prevent getting yourself and others sick, you should do these steps” making it a suggestion of reasonable things.
the response “my freedoms are being trampled”. I fucking wish they actually were.
The scary thing is that that frame of mind exists elsewhere as well. But I guess it’s more of it in the US.
That would be some really cool data to view “how stubborn are the attitudes in different countries” and “how many personalities are stubborn in different countries”
I like foolhardy in this context. And a foolhardy index would be interesting.
true true, that’s an excellent term for it. If only we could somehow assess it with metrics and data
I don’t have a solution for that, unfortunately.
republiQans. We’re talking about republiQans.
(Okay, fine and also some nazis, Qultists, some facebook boomers, a fair few Libertarians, and some woowoo newager people.)
But, look, just say republiQans and have done with it. “Americans” is more than too general, it’s an absolute cop-out.
You know, looking at world news, maybe kindergarten nurses should be in charge of the world?
