Louisiana, my home state, is banning the promotion of certain vaccines by public health workers. This seems to be in preparation for the upcoming Trump administration.

    Maybe it’s their strategy to tackle immigration by making their country a hellhole for anybody but the super wealthy?

      Alabama tried this in the early 2010’s and the results were great for the state. Fields were left with crops rotting because they weren’t harvested, home building slowed, meat processing slowed, people stopped cooperating with police, they arrested a Mercedes Benz exec and a Japanese Toyota employee for not having a driver’s license which I’m sure encouraged those manufacturers to expand factories in the state. Business leaders, churches, and so many others hated it.

      Did they learn? Apparently fucking not. Buckle up because they’re taking it nationwide and the ride is gonna be awful. I’ve already bought 200lbs of rice and beans and a bunch of shelf stable items because I fully expect food costs to skyrocket. I advise everyone do the same because undocumented people do so much that can’t easily be seen.
