So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

BYD have released pricing on their Tesla Model Y killer in NZ. To save you a click, this Chinese newcomer has more toys, more comfort, more range & less cost than the yank. The only question is... are they too late to market in this VERY saturated segment? www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWaP...

The chart below was released by Musk to show recipients of Social Security who are over 100 yo. But I did the math! The people over 100 only equal 5% of the total. Of those, 99K are legitimate SS recipients. At least 1% are likely due to clerical errors. Does that seem like rampant fraud?

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.
