What is in for the antivax in a government? - Lemmy.World

I saw the whole RFK and CDC debacle, how the agency is being weaponized to be antivax, and I cannot for the life of me understand what is happening. What does RFK has to gain with stopping vacines? What does the government gains from it? It cannot be just for show political streght, is it? Just to say “ha, in your face!” and then cause huge troubles for themselves down the road? There must be something they will have right now. But what is it? Money? Contracts? Favours?

How come? What is missing from them that the “icons” have?

How can Doge access critical government infrastructure and fire people if it isn't even a real department? - Lemmy.World

I’m not from the US so all of this is baffling. In Europe and even South America there’s tons of mechanisms to stop that from happening, and this kind of meddling would seriously result in arrests. However this is happening in the US with these people going completely unchecked. How is that even possible?!

Why is Trump orange? - Lemmy.World

Seriously, why? And why people don’t think that’s weird?

When did we stop saying "things are fire" to say "things are cold"? - Lemmy.World
