I think people would be more open to working during the shutdown if they weren't suffering and felt like what they're missing out on now they won't ever get it back. If we had a system of taking care of people no matter what things would be more beneficial. With universal basic income & healthcare

I wish everyone has what they want to eat.
Re: hoarding, depends what it is. I have 12 mo supply of maple syrup, honey, fruit/berry compote, and other goodies, I buy in bulk. Water is something most people forget, so make sure you have some water, too.

Does the flu shot cause Guillain-Barre as a side effect? Research shows 1-2 additional cases for every 1 million flu shots. But you're MORE likely to get Guillain-Barre from the flu itself, says @ameshaa.bsky.social.

O’Donnell could have followed up by saying that going back to 2016 Trump promised a health care plan “much better” than Obamacare, how it would be”easy” and yet we have never seen anything from him 9 years later. But that would be real journalism, not something a lightweight like O’Donnell practices
