I'm not saying that Trump/Musk are intentionally trying to start a bird flu pandemic with their butchering of disease surveillance and vaccine development. But could Trump benefit from it? Absolutely. Hear me out.

Just some general guidance here. We don't know all the details. But this presages taking a real hatchet to the whole social security system. Whether it's 20% of the staff or 50% who knows. But basically unsustainable cuts for a program anyway we've known it.
