Sorry, I took a shortcut with the definition.

The longer version is something most people can make at home with things most people already have in their kitchen.

This assumes sugar, butter, milk, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, dried pasta, spices, cut or ground meat, etc. aren't processed enough to "count" as ultra-processed foods.

The Texas outbreak started before the change in administration.

That said, the decision to immunize or not immunize may have been made during the first administration of said idiots.

Personally, I blame this epidemic on over-amplification of a long-since-discredited paper in a major medical journal in the late 1990s.

As for the over-amplification: The idiots in charge aren't helping.

Much as I agree with you from a moral standpoint, from a legal standpoint it is not as cut and dried as you make it out to be.

If you want to make the argument that "data about you" is "your data" that's fine, but the presumption here is that it's the airline's data, and it is offering it freely (as in speech, not as in beer) to the government. Where is the fourth amendment implication? It is not your "house, person, papers, or effects," it is the airline's and they're happy to let the government sort through it.

While I agree that this is not something I want the government to be doing, what part of a database maintained by the airlines constitutes your person, house, papers, or effects? If the government demands access that would be one thing, but if the airlines say "hey, wanna buy our data?" and the government says "hell yeah" that is something else.

>This is irritating AF even though I have the money in the bank because I get a percentage back.

The percentage you get back is a small part of what goes into the costs that the credit card industry charges consumers and merchants.

If no credit cards offered any kinds of rewards, the credit card companies could lower consumer and merchant fees and interest rates and still make the same amount of money.
