I met someone who told me she worked at the CDC, and she said shit is way worse than what's reported. Of course she could've been lying, but that seems like a weird lie to do when you're making "so what do you do for work?" small talk.

There has been months of literal nazis running around cutting funding for life saving programs in the government. And everyone is all "look at this guy, he has a funny cover name", and nothing about how they are intentionally killing off children based on ethnicity.

Of course it's worse, American media is openly lying to the population on a grand scale.
