US-specific news, no politics

Rules:

  1. No politics. Nothing about governments, parties, or politicians. I love politics but this is not a politics community, there are plenty of those. [email protected] is recommended.
  2. Reliable sources only.
  3. Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
  4. Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
  5. Don't be a jerk.
  6. No racism, no bigotry, no spam.
  7. Be productive.

Whatever, I don't care. Its your children suffering and dying because of your choices, so too bad, I don't care.

You people voted a tyrant I to power TWICE, now live with the consequences.

However, I know you won't see it like this. You'll see it as the wrath of God, and bind garlic to your kids feet because THAT WILL SOLVE IT, RIGHT?

Welcome back to the 1600's, all of you! We got kings, diseases, unregulated trade so expect worms in your bread.

I'm at the point that if I see you crying about your child's tormented death, that I will point and laugh at you

I hate those fucking cunts and couldn’t give a shit if they themselves die. But these kids, they are victims. And there will be more victims from those that these innocent kids infect.

Yeah, sorry, no.

I'm worried enough about my own kids, thanks to them, I don't have it in me toncarr about theirs. All I can hope for (in vain, i know) is that they learn from this that science is not evil, their religion and government are.

Plus let's be real, most of these people's kids will grow up to be like their parents. If self elimination is their path i say let em

Cheering the deaths of strangers is very human

Those people were lied to by leaders they trusted. I don't think it's their fault, and it certainly isn't their childrens' fault

We have an advantage over them in that we happened to have been born into families or places or come under the influence of good people and found that vaccination is much safer than these diseases, but that's not to our credit, it's to the credit of those who helped us learn

They choose who they trust though. I'm sure MANY people in positions of trust and authority throughout their lives told them correct information. They actively chose not to trust those people, and instead trust people telling them the opposite. There has to be some level of fault and accountability at that point.

We deserve credit where it's due. We all made a decision to do the bare minimum when told something by consulting either basic logic or the infinite library in our pockets. The only sympathy I have is for the kids. Any adult (including many people I love and care about) can go fuck themselves on this one.
