Just one of the good people, at last I try to be. Interests; science, engineering, and helping others.
I see that the CDC is reporting on the number of flu cases that are occuring in the US.
Sorry, but I have no confidence in the values they are reporting. Could be more or less.
I'll wait to see numbers from actual experts who know what they are doing to represent an accurate assessment.

Watched "Idiocracy" tonight.
One of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Only one factual error I noticed was that they had the year wrong. It wasn't 2505, it is 2025. But we're not that good as a nation now are we.

A thought on Amazon, Wayfair, et all.
Why not make an LLM that concentrates on all things for sale? Allowing you to directly purchase items from the manufacturer, creator, artist, musician, etc.
No middle man, just you and the current owner.
Just a thought on getting around the monopolies.

Question on the federal bailout to farmers.
The money will be set to the farmers, but what determines how much each farmer gets?
My guess (not fact chkd) is that it will be based on acreage.
If not, given equally, 2.6m farmers share 12b, each farmer gets 4615.38. That will cover costs?
Not!!!

A thought on Ukraine and NATO.
Since the US is bailing on both, why not have a special session of NATO and just bring Ukraine in.
This is world peace we're talking about, so screw the rules.
If not this, other suggestion
Create Ukraine Defense Alliance and everyone join in.

Let's let farmers farm again.
Corporate farms get a 20% tax on profits. Makes them less desirable.
Single owner farms get land purchase assistance and annual crop/livestock insurance. Also, fed loans on equipment/ livestock purchases.
Start here anyway and see what can be done.

Why do we air or report on anything Leavitt says in the briefing?
It's always lies, no matter the topic or the subject of any question.
Imagine if we didn't know what she said. What grand effect would it have on any of us?
If ya need lies, just watch Faux News.

I know that Florida has its own little army that only reports to the Governor.
Why don't other states use a similar tactic to create a force to protect their citizens from unlawful invasions?
I mean, that's what Trump did right?

I saw a article on how many arrests ICE has made. Really big numbers too.
Now, I would like to see the number of convictions.
I mean, if you arrest 1000 people and only convict 10 that's not a great record.
Also, you have started 990 wrongful arrest law suits.

I remember all of the "other" peace treaties America brokered in the middle east.
Time and time again, politicians celebrate, only to have it all fall apart.
Now that there is nothing left standing on the battlefield let's have a treaty ... so we can start all over again.

What was it like when they "relocated" all of the Japanese residents on the west coast?
Not everyone had a movie camera in their pocket to document what happened, but my guess it was pretty much what we see of ICE operations today.
