I’m glad we were able to learn from the Ebola outbreak and avoided any possible pandemics in the future

@publicuser2534 17 дней назад

I am sure Ebola would have been way worse if Obama was out and trump was in. Obama was level-headed and listened to the experts. trump on the other hand followed his own playbook and ridiculed and turned the public against the experts.

What's depressing is a decade later and we STILL left thousands of interpreters out to dry there when we pulled out There's some groups and veterans personally trying to get them all out but it's insane Johns covered the many many flaws of our country over the years and we've barely addressed any of them in the last decade from healthcare to the broken supreme Court, to this and other BS

Went to google what happened to the translators - "It's estimated as many as 300 interpreters died in Afghanistan during this time while waiting for visas. As the Taliban closed in on securing the country as the U.S. withdrew, roughly 20,000 interpreters and their families were still attempting to reach the United States." [Sep 1, 2022] At least Srosh got to the US; another translator who did, got killed in DC after resettling.

Does suck though, evade all that noise in Afghanistan , ducking out the taliban, only to get randomly shot and killed doing your job, trying to feed your family and send money back to your peoples in your homeland.

@Korey1121 16 дней назад

The disgusting part about the citizenship for interpreters is this. Ask any service member who was in boot camp with an immigrant and how quick they became citizens after the Chaplin asks “who wants to become a citizen”. Here’s a hint. It took only HOURS to make them citizens.

About McDonald's beef: I have no doubt it it "100% beef" but what most people don't understand is that "beef" simply means it's from a cow. Front shoulder, lower leg, head... even the "beefdust" that comes off when the beef is sawed is all "beef". So saying it's 100% beef doesn't mean it's GOOD beef...

Animals have different diseases, with parasites and problems. Humans usually not. My friend wanted to bring a cat home, it took her months to bring it back. This donkey was allowed to move fast, in comparison to a translator that is not a parasitefilled farmanimal
