hah, never had power loss long enough make fridge warm or affect ability to work from home since I just tether off phone and use laptop battery. Com Ed gets that power up fast, they don't like to lose money either. Don't recall any price increase after the two times in 13 years that's happened at my current residence. In fact from 2010 to now it's gone from 13 cents per kilowatt-hour to 15 cents per kWh in late 2024. Talk about inflation proof! It' why I consider any whining about their greed to be utter BS. They're doing a great job.

You claimed internet / telecom had nothing to do with power grid. Then lose your mind when someone calls you out on that false statement. It is absolutely dependent on the power grid.

Rickettsial still gets destroyed by normal tetracyclines.

Brucellosis is treated by rifampicin not a tretracycline. Any superbugs,, and yes there are some, are the fault of something else than farming. Is your information super dated?

spirochetal infections have the preferred treatments of doxycycline yes but also there are alternatives like colistin, penicillin, or ceftriaxone.

Good ol' chlamydia, on the decline now for two years, no superbugs yet but it's being watched.

The whole conversation is not to lose our shit over farm animal antibiotics, it's not the problem.

oh you think the global internet including your local cell tower isn't powered by power grid? You're funny.

No, most American will not benefit from solar array at home, only heavy government subsidies make you think that. Over half the nation are in poor location for solar power.

We have the very necessary power industry to power our civilization, solar can't do it alone. When grid fails of course the industry loses money, not just all woes pushed on the consumer. Hence they restore power quickly

Even considering industrial scale solar to home solar, it's a lot less efficient and more expensive to "distribute panels and energy storage", at home costs twice as much as commercial.

This green hippie notion of every home needing a panel is just romantic bs.

Nonsense.

70 percent of the volume of antibiotics used in animals are ionophores and tetracyclines. Ionophores arenâ(TM)t used in humans at all, and tetracyclines have 4 percent human usage rate.

73 percent of the antibiotics used in humans are from 3 classes and have only 10 percent use rate in farm animals: penicillin, cephalosporin and sulfa.

The CDC has identified the biggest threats from antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and zero of those are related to farm animals. On CDC list with less urgent threats, only two out of 18 involve bacteria associated with farm animals.

In short, antibiotics in farming isn't the problem

Your assertion that this information is actionable is totally unsupported by any evidence.

Only by any evidence you have seen. Which seems to be none at all, as you so conveniently state. And that is because you have not looked. Really, all you are doing is showing how incapable you are.
