  • Almost all miscarriages are unexplained. Because research into health issues that primarily affect women is still in the fucking dark ages.

    I had a friend who suffered multiple miscarriages (including one that wouldn’t complete itself and almost required surgical intervention because she was bleeding so badly - a procedure that her home state of Ohio is trying to ban now because it’s the exact same procedure that is used in electric elective abortions.

    After so many losses they finally figured out that her progesterone levels were extremely low and supplemented progesterone the next time she got pregnant. She now has a healthy baby boy as a result.

    Medicine doesn’t even have solutions for so many of these problems, and half the government wants to take away one of the few tools available to us to keep women alive and healthy.



  • Tell that to the healthy 45 year old father of two who I watched die in 2020.

    How are we not done with these same old stale lies yet? Covid infections cause a greater increase in risk of myocarditis. I literally just had a guy in his 30s with post-viral myocarditis on my unit a couple weeks ago.

    You know what strengthens your immune system against an evolving viral threat? Booster vaccines that teach your adaptive immune system how to fight that exact viral threat.

    Eat healthy, exercise, make sure you maintain your vitamin D levels AND ALSO get the god damned vaccine please.


  • People’s legs being in that position would negate what is considered a safe evacuation. Modern regulations stipulate that you have 90 seconds to get everyone off the plane safely with 50% of the emergency exits blocked. That’s why you’re required to be seated completely upright with your feet on the floor during takeoff and landing. So you can stand up immediately if anything goes wrong and you need to evacuate.

    This accident is one of the reasons why that rule exists. We forget these things:

    “It was then, just 90 seconds after the plane came to a stop, that the entire passenger cabin exploded in flame. An unstoppable wall of fire swept forward from the back of the plane, consuming everything in its path, painting every window in brilliant orange. Firefighters tried to fight it, but there was nothing they could do. Captain Cameron, who jumped from the window just seconds before the explosion, would be the last to leave the plane alive.”

  • It’s a huge problem in the towns and cities immediately on the other side of the border and that’s the primary concern here. Imagine where you live and 671 unhoused and unfed human beings walked into your town every. single. day. No local municipality in the world has the resources to deal with that. It has to be the federal government.

    That’s not to suggest that building walls in the wilderness is an effective intervention. But it is an unfortunately popular one. It must be coupled with federal programs to receive, house, and find work for the people arriving at areas not blocked by a wall.

    But the people living in those border towns don’t deserve to be burdened with a problem created by federal government policies. The feds need to fix the problem.



  • "he said he vetoed this bill because the fund the state uses to pay unemployment benefits will be nearly $20 billion in debt by the end of the year.

    The fund the state uses to pay unemployment benefits is already more than $18 billion in debt. That’s because the fund ran out of money and had to borrow from the federal government during the pandemic, when Newsom ordered most businesses to close and caused a massive spike in unemployment. The fund was also beset by massive amounts of fraud that cost the state billions of dollars."

    The reasoning and background, if anyone is curious
