If you want to eat the most expensive eggs you’ve ever had in your life, you should have backyard chickens. Don’t get me wrong, I love them and have raised them, but they are an expensive hobby.

Childhood illnesses tend to be quite more severe in adults. Every adult I have ever seen with measles or chickenpox or mumps was hospitalized or very ill. To die of measles in 2025 is a sad and deeply unfortunate choice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.

The start of the measles outbreak can't be placed on the shoulders of the HHS secretary, but the lack of a clear, strong recommendation to immunize & nationally coordinated effort to contain the outbreak with vaccines is a contributing factor to the spread & subsequent outcomes.

Fun fact about Trump tariffs you won’t see in 99% of the reporting: Trump tariffs are illegal. Congress controls tariffs just like tax rates. President can change a tariff only for national security emergency, meaning war.

Tariffs aren’t a tax on foreign companies—they’re a tax on you. 💸 When imports get taxed, businesses just raise prices on everything from food to electronics. So next time you see higher prices, thank Donald Trump and the GOP #Economics101 #Tariffs
