“Shame! Shame! Free the Squirrel! Free the Squirrel”

Back in the gang ridden streets of Portland, ICE just arrested a girl wearing a “dangerous” inflatable Squirrel without provocation.

She’s fallen several times having been cuffed and pushed to walked faster than the suit will allow.

COVID damage to our brains may account for some of the drop in empathy. And, tragically, the virus and its damage continue unchecked.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Greed.
People just want to get a *little* more.

This *should* be the case everywhere in healthcare facilities. Hard to imagine how many people would avoid infection.

No one joined just for the benefits.
Broken, racist and cruel people who want to bully “others” are the new recruits.
No compassion, no benevolence whatsoever.

Great headline, the whole country is pretty much marked for destruction

You saw a little crack and heard metal noise. Then, in a blink of an eye, all of it crumbles.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
