Re: The World

I don't know what the British media is saying, but if you're
asking about it I think it is safe to say they're exagerating.
You're not trans or brown-skinned so you're not going to be
targetted by individuals or government authorities. And you're
not pregnant so you probably won't die if you need medical care.


I live in a very red part of a very blue state. Nothing bad is
happening to anyone on a person-to-person level. People arem't
attacking each other or anything like that, at least not any
more than normal. It is all at the government level. The local
governments are rushing to do all the awful things they've been
wanting to do. Franklin County, on the other side of the river
from me, is trying to demand that the local health department
stop offering covid vaccines. One of the local school districts
wants to disobey state law, and the instructions send out by the
state education department, about not cooperating with ICE when
it comes to immigrant children. This kind of crap doesn't really
affect white, English-speaking visitors though.

At some point, things are going to start falling apart if the
federal funds that have been blocked don't go here they should
be going, but a couple months isn't enough for the highways to
fall apart or anything like that.

I do strongly recommend making sure your vaccinations are all
current and taking reasonable precautions since there are
outbreaks of diseases (measles, TB, and bird flu are the ones I
know about) that the federal government is trying to hide.
