Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

Donald Trump spent last night having some bizarre social media fever dream. It’s long past time for the president's mental fitness to be a sustained front-page story. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
It’s time to talk about Donald Trump’s health (again)
The most consequential topic in the world is the simple question: Is the President mentally fit to serve?

Parents have a choice to ask your neonatal MD to prescribe Hepatitis B Vaccine for your newborn, after the first 24 hours.
The problem is your health insurance will not cover the cost of the shot. You will have to pay for that out of your pocket.
You can thank Trump and RFK Jr.

Hepatitis B is a highly infectious virus that attacks the liver and can cause chronic liver disease, liver cancer, liver failure, and death.
It spreads easily — by inconspicuous nonvisible blood or body fluids and can survive on surfaces for up to seven days.

The Vaccine Integrity Project found that the vaccine is safe regardless of when it is given, and there are no benefits to delaying the first dose.
Delaying the first dose increases the risk of infection and jeopardizes completion of the full vaccine series - required for long-lasting protection.

In spite of proven results.
Delaying the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine will lead to more children and adults developing preventable liver disease and liver cancer, with zero benefit.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.
