Now is an excellent time to start wearing masks in public again. It's OK if you stopped, but we do not have functional public health services and we need to protect ourselves and others. A LOT of illnesses are spread through breathing in droplets. Wash your hands and wear a mask in crowded areas.

artemidorus.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ever since COVID I mask up in stores and gyms, medical facilities, and even on walks. Why breathe republicant air? It's polluted and infested with germs. These rich people simply don't care about your lungs, but you should.

sdelorian.bsky.social•3 days ago

For me there is no political divide, its just a matter of logic. Will I be inside of a room for more than 5 mins? Welp guess I better mask up, I don't know who else has been breathing there and viruses can stay airborne for hours.

Crippling our economy and forcing hard dedicated federal workers into poverty!

catherinezoltan.bsky.social•3 days ago

"Maximum Destruction and Minimum Creation". That's the current motto for our administration. What are they delivering to the American people? Unworkable solutions. They make something that wasn't a problem, a problem. Then enforce an "unworkable solution" to "fix it". So they "look busy".

catherinezoltan.bsky.social•3 days ago

All the while, they're dismantling systems put in place to solve real problems, that were workable solutions. They're destroying workable solutions, & workable systems, with unworkable solutions, and no workable systems in their place. Insanity. This wouldn't be tolerated in operating a barber shop.

And Kennedy has ZERO experience running a large governmental agency, nor expertise in understanding HHS's complex functions. He's merely acting with instructions to dismantle it. In Bannon-spirit, this is the Trump/DOGE plan to drive the US Gov into collapse--from Deep State to Fascist Chaos.

I wonder if he has the same restrictions on how people are let go. Does he have to follow a prescribed procedure and if so, is he following the procedure, or it he doing what Trump did, just let them go without cause. He is doing what Trump sent him in there to do, dismantle an agency, illegally.
