I was just left a message from a friend, a mental health care worker no less, who says I'm unequivocally wrong and hurting her by showing my support for the truckers online. Ugh. Same people will probably be angry we didn't warn them.
Maybe just tell her you love her, you understand, it's OK, and you are there for her.

My mother and I agreed not to discuss controversial topics. It has been a difficult but valuable exercise. Took about a year but other issues interrupt our comms.
When Texas banned abortion after six weeks, my mom texted me: SHAME ON TEXAS!
WT!!! Where is the logic? I told her to do what I do and write to the the reps. I tweet Cruz, Abbott, freaky deaky in Chicago lightfoot, governors in many states, sometimes I go to their websites and write, I find a zipcode for a target or some such and complete their form, leave a polite but firm message about the steal, the plandemic, the deep state, fauci, etc.
Things will improve soon!

Study finds more transmissible and damaging HIV variant
The newly-detected HIV variant from the Netherlands is more transmissible and damaging, according to research. The study, led by researchers from the University of Oxford's Big Data Institute, showed that people living with the newly revealed subtype-B of HIV experience double the rate of immune system decline (CD4 count).
After fierce Roman commander Marcus Vinicius becomes infatuated with beautiful Christian hostage Lygia, he begins to question the tyrannical leadership of the despotic emperor Nero.
he governor cited rising inflation as the basis for creating about $1 billion in temporary tax relief for motor fuel, groceries and property taxes.
The motor fuel tax relief would not lower gas prices, but it would prevent an annual increase to the motor fuel tax that is written into law from taking effect this year. It prevents a hike of 2.2 cents per gallon of gas, according to the governor’s office[b/] – a taxpayer savings it pegged at $135 million.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) will announce on Wednesday the end of his statewide mask mandate effective “before March 1,” according to sources with knowledge of the announcement.

Bear this in mind..
Psychiatrists have the highest suicide rate of any profession..
I believe most psychiatrists go into the profession thinking they have sorted themselves out from their own problems due to discussion and self therapy and they can then go on to help others.
But who helps the helpers who have an ego to feed when the past haunts them?

SpaceX will lose up to 40 of the 49 Starlink satellites it launched last week as the result of a geomagnetic storm, the company has announced.
Elon Musk’s firm launched the satellites into low-Earth orbit on 3 February from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but 80% of them are now expected to burn up instead of reaching their intended orbit.
“Unfortunately, the satellites deployed on Thursday were significantly impacted by a geomagnetic storm on Friday,” SpaceX said in a statement. “These storms cause the atmosphere to warm and atmospheric density at our low deployment altitudes to increase.”
The speed and severity of the storm resulted in an “atmospheric drag” that was up to 50% higher than during previous launches, it said.

......If a solar storm of this magnitude occurred today, it could have serious consequences, according to the researchers, although the impact to our planet would be hard to predict.
"There could be radiation damage to satellites and it would pose a danger to space and air travel," Muscheler told Newsweek.
"Usually such high-energy events are linked to geomagnetic storms that could knock out power grids. Similarly communication systems could fail. I think we need more research to determine how such an event could affect our technological infrastructure."......
