This is why Canada has plenty of eggs — and the U.S. doesn't

Egg farms in Canada are much smaller, so when one farm does suffer a flu outbreak, the effects are less far-reaching. The typical egg farm in Canada has about 25,000 laying hens, whereas many farms in the U.S. have well over a million.

Canada's supply management system, guarantees even small farmers enough income to stay in business.

American politics literally devolved into a "Hello I am a technician from microsoft I'm calling you because we found a hacker in your computer let me install this trustworthy software that gives us full control of your system to fix it" type scam.

Speak: "Hello I am the lap doge of the president of america we have detected fraud in your government let us install these trustworthy people that have full, unchecked control of the entire system to fix it."

"I find it odious when the world’s richest man cackles about #America shoving programs for needy children “into the wood chipper.”

When you meet those dying #children and look into their eyes and hold their hands and feel faint heartbeats flutter, you can’t bear the gleeful laughter. You see children just like your own and hang your head in shame."

Text from article: I recognize we cannot save every hungry child around the world. I agree that U.S.A.I.D. is imperfect and should be reformed. I appreciate that helping people is harder than it looks. I understand that there are difficult trade-offs in allocating tax dollars. Yet I think most Americans would both welcome some reforms and also be proud to see how we save the lives of hungry children and sick orphans around the world by allocating just 24 cents of every $100 of national income to aid. And I find it odious when the world’s richest man cackles about America shoving programs for needy children “into the wood chipper.” When you meet those dying children and look into their eyes and hold their hands and feel faint heartbeats flutter, you can’t bear the gleeful laughter.

" #USAID was established to advance our national interests as well as our values, & its demolition means that the #UnitedStates loses soft power & #China gains...

#America spends just 0.24% of gross national income on humanitarian aid. We properly honor a firefighter who saves a single child, but three cheers for us as taxpayers for rescuing millions of #children around the world from AIDS, starvation & disease.

That is, until January."

Text from article(edited for length): ...but why is it our job to keep kids alive in poor countries? There are two answers to that. The first is that USAID was established to advance our national interests as well as our values, and its demolition means that the United States loses soft power and China gains... Antiterrorism programs in Syria and West Africa are faltering and may lead to new attacks on Americans. Surveillance for early detection of avian flu and Ebola are weakened, and an epidemic of either disease could reach America and cost billions of dollars. Trump’s defunding of the polio eradication effort may lead, by one USAID official’s estimate, to 200,000 cases of paralytic polio each year. ...aid stoppage could lead to nearly a one-third increase in tuberculosis cases. Some of those will reach the United States and lead to enormous expense — a single case of extensively drug-resistant TB can cost $500,000 to manage. The second answer to that query reflects not a calculation of self-interest but the moral code we live by. In this century, we are all blessed with miraculous, almost biblical powers: We can heal the sick and save children’s lives, all inexpensively: America spends just 0.24% of gross national income on humanitarian aid. We properly honor a firefighter who saves a single child, but three cheers for us as taxpayers for rescuing millions of children around the world from AIDS, starvation and disease. That is, until January.

Fire. Plane crashes. Subway violence. Politics. It seems like there’s a lot to be scared of these days. But how is this different from the past? And what’s it doing to us — individually and collectively? Writing for The Ringer, Lex Pryor explores the magnetic pull of fear in American culture:

well yes #donaltrump just as his predecessor mostly care about #money

so when #globalization (u know selling companies off to foreign countries mostly #China dismantling whole factories shipping them to #China) was good #money #economic policy of #USA was #globalization

now #China won that game

so now #USA #America #TheWest realizes: this game SUCKS (ok told u 30 years ago but whatever)

and try to turn back the wheel to the 1960s if they turn too far we might end up in 1933

nothing get's build anymore in #USA except sometimes a great song like this #trump #song #music #lol
