The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

arstechnica.com - The country is less safe cdc disease detective program gutted

This is bad news in general, but particularly with H5N1's progression.

I don't know how to say this, but to members of this forum... try to not be unprepared when a major pandemic hits, and lower your expectations of coordination by the CDC and NIH that mitigated COVID-19. I had some optimism based on an early administration appointment, but one person is just a figurehead and that optimism has evaporated.

The intelligence level of the US government on multiple fronts is gutted and gone. It is horrible in the way that watching a person deliberately lobotomize themselves would be.
