YOUR LEGISLATORS IN ACTION
My Gaad! The Legislature they be drinkin loony water or somepin. 1289! bills introduced this session by 90 members to be heard in 3 months. Some of these peeps are fuckin prolific, some introduce by those elected who could reasonably seem to be certified... And of course there is nothing about PSPRS reform...
Just a very few of the more odious bills...
no taxes on pesticides,
no mandatory vaccinations, It's communism!
decrease charter school oversight while increasing the pool of students,
no money for public education or teachers,
any legislator and file an complaint if if they don't like what is being taught, young people-under22- exempt from state minimum wage
voter suppression making it harder to collect signatures and criminalizing people getting paid to collect sigs,
almonds do not lactate duh!--don't label it milk,
meat comes from animals-do not label other products meat,
anyone can blow dry your hair,

ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS PLASTIC IN EVERY OCEAN
"One major mystery: what all these bits of plastic might be doing to us. For every tidbit of understanding we gain about the health consequences of chemicals released by plastics, there remains a gyre-sized quantity of unknowns. But a growing body of evidence suggests some chemicals commonly found in many plastics are associated with everything from cancer to underdeveloped genitalia to obesity." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/feb/19/great-pacific-garbage-patch-women-scientists-plastic?utm_term=RWRpdG9yaWFsX0d1YXJkaWFuVG9kYXlVUy0xOTAyMjA%3D&utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GuardianTodayUS&CMP=GTUS_email

NECK PAIN
If you’re reading this on a phone, pause and take a second to think about what your neck is doing right now. When your neck is bent 45 degrees forward, you put a weight of about 22 kilograms on the spine. That’s five times the pressure considered normal, and over the course of a year the average smartphone user may rack up an additional 1,000 to 1,400 hours of pressure.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&PHYSICAL CANCER = FINANCIAL CANCER More than 42 percent of the 9.5 million people diagnosed with cancer from 2000 to 2012 drained their life's assets within two years, according to a study published last year in the American Journal of Medicine. Cancer patients are 2.65 times more likely to file for bankruptcy than those without cancer, and bankruptcy puts them at a higher risk for early death, according to research.

.......................................... News Sources for the Wire
So a couple of readers asked for the sources for info I put in the Wire. Here are most of them.
(Coincidental to this listing are the results of this poll about trust in media. Although there are no comparisons with past polls, the results are startling. The constant attacks on the press by Trump and allies are showing up here. Trust in journalism is declining.)
