The world is full of drivers who pass you so they can wait at the traffic light directly in front of you instead of directly behind you.

The last I heard on US national homeless strategy was imprisonment or institutionalization.

A perfect microcosm of doubling down on fossil fuels, and rejecting climate change.
One of the most disturbing things about the U.S. government getting themselves into the anti-vaccine game is that it is a time-release poison pill.
It will take a few years before the worst of the harm is visible to enough people that they will truly understand what has been done to them.

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

That is immensely damaging since efforts to force out millions of non-white immigrants will deprive the country of a tax base & working population to serve the aged. It will also require intensive pro-natalist policies to buttress breeding by white women through social engineering. 5/
