A controversial proposal from U.S Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to let bird flu naturally spread through poultry farms is raising alarms among scientists – who say the move could be inhumane and dangerous.

That’s dumb, leave the U.S. sometime. Despite the problems in the U.S., we are still one of the richest countries on the planet. I went to a plant in Mexico for work a few years ago, and there were people living in sheds with no running water, entire neighborhoods of that. Outside of homeless people, even our poorest people have it better than a lot of other countries.
The US has almost 775,000 homeless people according to January 2024 data, which are more than likely underestimating the full scale of the issue. I doubt those people have the privilege of sheds. Doesn’t that make the US worse?
“Outside of homeless people” is such crazy goalpost-moving rhetoric when the conversation is about people in extreme poverty.
