The fact we are letting a trillionaire tell us where and how we are wasting our $$ is so fucking ridiculous. We should be dragging him out into the street.

Edit: **Gently moving him out to the streets**

Turns out that Elon Musk was the parasite all along.

Yes, but no. The screw worm used to be found in the US, but we pushed it south with the flies. We can push it back south again with a LOT of funding. It made more economic sense for upkeep to keep it South than it will to eradicate it again.

They bred sterile flies. Not just "horny flies". It's probably going to take years to get it to the point it used to be. I remember reading the line for that was panama. Now they are here.

Screw Worms can be removed. We did it once before. Problem is not if people keep voting Republican. So we screwed.

Elon Musk is such a loser that not even Jeffrey Epstein wanted him on the Island.

The government’s plan is to release the ticks that carry alpha gal. Problem solved. 🫩

Friendly reminder that Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to eradicating guinea worm, one of the nastiest parasites on the planet. It's transmitted by drinking stagnant water, and a year after ingestion the worm starts to burrow its way out of the host. This is both extremely painful and debilitating to quality of life; kids can't go to school, adults can't work—everything stops. The only treatment option is to use a stick to twist the worm out faster, which can grow up to a metre long. In 1986 there were over three million documented cases. Last year there were ten.

I love the shrimps on treadmill argument. I've had so many idiots bring that up and it only takes 5 seconds to explain how it's necessary research and how it can be applied to other areas.

Can we start a petition to change the name to Muskworm? Elon is basically the human equivalent of a screwworm
