Factos.

An invitation to you, dear reader.

For those able and willing, please stand up, walk to the nearest sidewalk, accelerate, and swan dive into the pavement.

Ok wait, actually don’t do that.

But you and I both know it would hurt like a mofo.

Now, imagine riding a motorcycle and into the pavement at 50 mph.

Ouch, right?

Now, imagine doing so without wearing protective gear like a helmet, jacket, gloves, armored pants, and boots.

Super ouch. Trust me, I’ve been there.

Wearing masks during a global pandemic is prudent like wearing protective gear while riding a motorcycle, I once wrote in Adventure Rider.

Adjacent, the measles outbreak crescendos; RFK Jr., the Senate-approved States’ secretary for Health and Human Services, once opined:

“What is the cure for measles? The treatment for measles, it's chicken soup and vitamin A. All of my kids are vaccinated.”

Present Trump’s tariffs are an interesting one. Way back when, Brookings said the US would see inflation because, eh, Econ 101.

Exhibit A…..

It feels like those in power just argue about how facts are stubborn things and how reality is subjective and we can’t do anything about the obvious and ‘round and ‘round until we’re all

diving into concrete.

Factos.
