search for food during pandemic restaurant
closures

Starving rats growing increasingly "aggressive" are starting to become a problem as the coronavirus pandemic continues.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned last week that restaurant closures and restrictions intended to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus have left trash bins less full than usual, cutting into a major food source for rodents. In a battle over slim pickings, some have become more aggressive, leading to reports of rat cannibalism and rodent armies on city streets.“Some jurisdictions have reported an increase in rodent activity as rodents search for new sources of food,” the CDC said.

So, since restaurants have been closed and trash bins are depleted, rats are starving? That says a whole lot about the amount of garbage that comes from restaurants and how it supports the rat race that's not very appealing. I'll bet you can trace the reason for so much garbage to some sort of government regulation. I worked part-time at Bojangles when I was in college many years ago. We had to count the leftover food, then throw it away every night. There was so much food thrown into the trash; food that could have been donated to a shelter or something. Back then, we didn't have shelters the way that we do now, though. The managers often looked the other way while we provided bags of donations to starving college students who befriended us just for that reason. All the girls in my dorm were certainly nice to me for that reason, and I was happy to feed them. I didn't grow up in a home where food was wasted, so I never got used to the waste. I grew up on a farm my first 8-10 years, and I remember how we used everything, wasted nothing, and shared our food with people who didn't have much. Apologies for the rant; I just had a moment of longing for the days gone by.

How about this. The Republic of Texas will issue passports to its citizens, the legal ones. Everybody else can leave and go through the Texas legal immigration process. It's pretty dam close folks if the Dems try to cheat the fair election process. The Republic of California can continue its attempt to be medieval England (or Spain) and learn to love rats.

Rats gotta eat too! Looking at this article, it occurs to me that rats actually provide a service. Without the Rats eating the garbage, the city streets would be swarmed with flies and the smell of rotting food. It also occurs to me that "people" could better control rat populations by generating less food waste and disposing of said waste in rat proof containers. Culture and night life does have its unseen costs.

Leaving our cities largely unoccupied and unprotected except for the homeless, criminals and rats will have a mistake as big as paying millions of people to sit in their basements to do nothing: An experiment never tried in the history of civilization.

Since announcing his candidacy for President in 2015, Donald Trump has dominated the national news cycle — largely to the benefit of legacy media companies. As a growing amount of their airtime centered upon their hatred of the businessman turned politician, many witnessed sharp increases in their audience sizes. The New York Times, for instance, saw more subscriptions in the last three months of 2016 than all of 2015 combined. During election week in 2020, CNN saw a 135% increase in viewership over the first week of November 2019. After the inauguration of President Biden, however, legacy media saw double-digit drops in their viewership.

Democrats call their current massive spending bill a "COVID relief" bill, but the half-trillion-dollar bailout of state governments has nothing to do with COVID-19 relief. Plenty of states are doing poorly fiscally, but generally, this has nothing to do with the pandemic and everything to do with their own mismanagement.This was a disputed point back in the spring, but no more. The numbers are in. The coronavirus has not left most states struggling for revenue the way people originally expected.The Congressional Budget Office is anticipating 4.6% economic growth in 2021.

There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says.
