Description
Oregon has more acreage burning than in any other year in history, (“More than 2 million acres burned as Oregon sets new wildfire record,” Aug. 3). Temperatures are soaring around the globe, there are more measles cases in the U.S. since 1991, thousands are sickened by a foodborne illness, children are being killed by the dozens in Gaza, the war in Ukraine continues, millions will die of AIDS because of cuts in aid, gas prices and groceries are rising out of reach for many, the Middle East is a hotbed of conflict, eight million people have lost health coverage and 4.5 million have lost SNAP food assistance. I could go on and on.
