The preliminary memo, sent from White House budget officials to the Department of Health and Human Services, previews the administration’s plans to slash discretionary federal health spending and rework health agencies in the image of President Donald Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s “Make America Healthy Again” mandate.

      We are surrounded by imbeciles, the people who voted for this nonsense. This shit is really fucking depressing, isn’t it?

          Same.

          Important not to wallow in despair as best as possible. Try to stay healthy, eat healthy, exercise if possible. Save money, cut back on luxuries. I also don’t know what to do, just my simple recommendation as bare minimum if shit does get worse.

      It helps because just like all the things Reagan destroyed, the American people will never be able to get those things back. Even when they do vote in politicians that pretend to represent them, the U.S. political system is too easily swayed with donor money to allow in things that truly benefit people again.
      And if the government can close or sell facilities by the time sane policies prevail again (if they ever do), then it still benefits ‘them’, because the government can’t just create land and buildings from nothing. The only places they would be able to do that are new towns and rural areas. (White flight areas and conservative areas) So, you know, destroyed government services can’t even be reliably recreated in population-dense areas. (Cities - liberal areas)

      I mean, it doesn’t help normal people, but it sure helps all the businesses that trade well-being for dollars. They’re going to do great.
