At this point, a 100% effective ebola mutation would be a mercy.

The limp along to our own self-imposed extinction we are absolutely committed to in the name of short term private profit, whether by fascist nuclear war or greed made climate change, is the torture, and the delay breeds the most painful thing of all in the non-wealthy masses that are powerless to stop it out of irrational desperation: false hope.

If another pandemic happens under the orange waste of a human…I’ll never let the right live it down. They won’t care, but hey, I gotta hold onto something.

Hopefully it won’t be a deadly pandemic 🤞

Several years ago I had raw milk on a farm and it tasted incredible. I imagine that has more to do with the fact that that it gone from cow to mouth in about 30 second than with pasturization, right?

No. The way milk get pasteurized is for speed and volume. They heat it up higher for a short amount of time to kill the baddies (and flavor). There is a slower process without as much heat and that saves some flavor, but big companies don’t use it.
