Project2025 has the plan in it to end all free and reduced price meals at public schools.

If it is sold over the counter a lot of people won't be able to afford it because insurance won't cover it.

You're right there are so many things that are not in control and it's not easy. It might not just be a thyroid issue that is causing it, but it doesn't help matters any. Many people have hashimoto's and are thin.

People who are overweight can't just suddenly start exercising it often causes severe injury.

I've got it free on my insurance, but I have read of stories where people haven't been able to get vaccinated.

Otherwise the CDC program providing free access ends in August 2024.

Some people can't get it because they don't have insurance and it is pretty expensive. So a family of four could wind up spending several hundreds of dollars if they can't afford the vaccine and there is no public support for it, or they don't know where to get help to pay for it in the United States.

The people that voted for her pay attention to media that isn't Fox News?

Noem also shot three elderly horses and one very hated "demon goat". She has never heard of humane euthanization, or rehoming and training for the dog. I think she expected the dog to just naturally not act like a dog. At 14 months old they are still puppies and in their adolescent phase. To make matters worse people witnessed her doing the killings, and then children got off of a school bus.

"...But Republican legislators continued to express doubt that someone would get in legal trouble for masking because of health concerns, saying law enforcement and prosecutors would use discretion on whether to charge someone. Newton said the bill focuses on criminalizing masks only for the purpose of concealing one's identity..."

I don't have faith that people would not get harassed or feel threatened by somebody because they are wearing a mask for health reasons. The law discourages mask use.

And she killed 3 horses. Because they were old.
