10,000 Health and Human Services employees are being laid off. These are the people who track diseases, conduct research, make sure our food and medicine is safe, and administer health insurance for nearly half the country. Tell me how this will "make America healthy again."

It seems like an eternity, but Tuesday marks the seventh week of this despicable regime. I’d like to talk about coping with the stresses of this era. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/taking-heart
