Just as expected, if you elect parasites to office you get parasite friendly policies.
if you elect parasites to office you get parasites ~~friendly policies~~.
FTFY
Didn’t RFK have a brain parasite at one point? His parasite advocacy makes a lot more sense if you consider that he really might just be a brain worm piloting a vaguely human shaped mecha.
at one point
implying the brain worms ever left
I still cannot help but wonder if the cancellation of BrainDead (2016) was not a conspiracy....

America is what happens to every corporation when the middle management have finally all been promoted over the threshold of their actual abilities.
The Peter Principle
The Peter principle states that a person who is competent at their job will earn a promotion to a position that requires different skills. If the promoted person lacks the skills required for the new role, they will be incompetent at the new level, and will not be promoted again.
Does not check out. People keep failing upwards, often to the very top. 🥹
That’s freedom for you!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What is freedom if not freedom to blow your ass out?
It's more "efficient" to give more money to oligarchs. While everyone else gets sick.
If nothing else, their incompetence will give us all the proof we need about why these agencies need to be run by experts and why they need to exist and be funded. I never thought I'd see the day we had to learn the hard way why greed and selfishness can't be left to run amok. Sounds exactly the way right teaches their kids, the hard way.

What a disgrace, considering that just a year and a half ago, the CDC was one of the most important medical organizations in the world.
The blatant incompetence and boundless greed of this regime are not only responsible for diarrhea and the decline of the U.S. as a center of scientific excellence: the decisions made by these criminals are directly causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
It is irreparable damage—the kind no one could have anticipated amid this absurdity. The lesson is clear: the U.S. cannot be trusted, as the unscrupulousness of its leaders knows no bounds.
They will still claim 'but communism' while ignoring that this is capitalism at its rawest, most unadulterated form.
Honestly at this point the United States of America should balkanize

I feel like everything in the news lately would have been really funny if it weren’t reality. Conservatives killed and ate satire.
Zaphod wasn’t supposed to have actual power, this is what happens when you give the con men the keys to the kingdom
And of course everything has gone to shit!
I've thought about this since the beginning, they're trying to cull us without having to do it with their own hands. They know exactly what they're doing when they stop monitoring things like dangerous, deadly parasites.
Yes, fascist eugenics is the only thing that makes sense of current US Government policies.
He's. Working. For. Russia. And. China.
Is this not the onion material? Or just normal in the states now?
The onion, newspaper of prophecy.

Fun fact: Your asshole makes the same exact movement as your mouth does for both 'poop' and 'explosive diarrhea'.

RFK Jr is obviously in the pocket of Big Parasite after what happened.

Keeping tabs on what the CDC hasn’t been testing for may now be the most efficient way to determine what diseases are circulating.

If this system is what I think it is, it's the wastewater monitoring, which was a tool that helped with monitoring Covid. Remember, if we don't test, the rates drop.
You do know you can read the article to find that out instead of assuming, right?
This is a completely different monitoring system called Foodnet
I didn't read that article but I read your comment and I'm ready to believe whatever you say.
I wonder if Corey Doctorow's thesis about the enshittification of platforms extends to America.
I'm of the Howard Zinn opinion that we should always document events from the voice of the people who were most oppressed by the event.
I want to hear from the housekeepers cleaning these toilets from all this explosive diarrhea.
They're the real victims here.
Was it specifically that they stopped this community health survey or the people who used to run it have either been fired or quit?
USA citizens are completely clueless to how fucked things are with all the systems that have kept them safe. Normally I would argue against inflammatory titles but more needs to be framed as "(DOGE or Trump) stopped monitoring..." versus hiding it behind the various TLA's
