🇺🇸 SEC. RFK JR WARNS LYME HAS TURNED AMERICA’S WOODS INTO A RISK ZONE RFK Jr is putting a very real fear into plain language. Lyme disease, he says, has quietly made the outdoors hazardous across much of the country, changing how Americans experience nature itself. Speaking from personal experience, Sec. Kennedy described spending much of his life in the woods and watching that freedom erode as tick exposure exploded. He recalled standing in his bathtub in the late eighties pulling dozens of ticks off his body after a day outside, calling it routine where he lived. That memory now carries a warning. What was once normal outdoor life has become a calculated risk, especially for children: “I spend a lot of my life in the woods, and that experience has now become hazardous across this country. I remember one day in 1987 when I stood in my bathtub and picked 29 ticks off myself. That was typical in Bedford. The MAHA movement is trying to get children to be active, to get them to go outside, to get them to experience nature, not only because that's gonna benefit them physically, but also the spiritual connection that we get to God. We’ve got to figure out a way to make it safe for children to go back in the woods again.” Source: @MAHA_Action






At its core, gambling is what economist Paul Samuelson described as a "sterile transfer." \8

Assuming their politicians care about the future (rather than just the next election), Europe's welfare states should copy Switzerland's very successful spending cap danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2022/10/29/eur…
