Wouldn't this have showed up in the reports last year when the numbers were actively happening? There's been 1 case this year it says. If the ideology was what you're saying, then wouldn't they want to spread the info and blame it on the "dirty illegals" or whatever?
This year has been a rough start for HN. The political commentary is infecting every thread.

but only because dead people don't buy eggs so it's expected lowered demand will "stabilize" prices. the numbers are what's important, people. (sorry (not sorry) for the angry sarcasm)
Has anyone died from the Kansas outbreak? Are you scaremongering? I checked the TB mortality in the US and it was 2 per 1,000,000 cases
This is the type of thing that'd normally show up on CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report which has been published weekly since 1960 (my understanding is this is without fail). But unfortunately the current administration has decided an ideological purification is more important than keeping the American public apprised of threats to their health. So it wasn't published last week, and probably won't be this we…

pretty sure the ideology is to remove every social safety net and service to "prove" government doesn't work and then the robber barons can swoop in and make it a paid service... and make it so the capital class gets to make and save more money as they can afford to buy any of those services that were cut. it's basically vulture economics but at the nation scale. it's not great.

"None of the Above" (see Bruster's Millions (Movie)) really needs to be an option...
It likely will never be an option. You could consider spoiling your ballot instead? I have no idea if spoilt ballots are counted in America, though.

I wonder if we’d do better in discourse to stop pointing at an “administration.” It is a reflection of what a plurality, often majority, of people want.

There's always the midterms. Politicians shouldn't get too complacent if their party screws up.

Eh, "recorded history" is totally the wrong phrase. When we say "recorded history" we don't mean "the window of time in which we have detailed records up to our modern standards", we specifically mean "the window of time in which we have records of any sort", contrasted with "prehistory". The phrase they were looking for is "largest on record" or even better "largest since 195X". > For broader world history, recorded…
Largest in CDC records. US government records existed before 1950.

We have good reason to believe it'd show up here given that Kansas's TB situation has had multiple bulletins over the years

They were ordered to halt all publications, cancel trainings and not communicate with state health departments
What is the supposed rationale for this? Or is this just a general ideological purge of the government? This is going to be a crazy four years, if it’s only four.
For the average for-profit company, the actual business the company does has no value beyond its ability to generate profits. The damage a disruption causes today can always be offset with higher expected profits in the future.
But for many government departments, the day-to-day business is the entire point. Any disruption can easily cause irrevocable damage. Even when the net outcome is positive, the gains often cannot offset the damage, because they go to different people.
