US-specific news, no politics

Rules:

  1. No politics. Nothing about governments, parties, or politicians. I love politics but this is not a politics community, there are plenty of those. [email protected] is recommended.
  2. Reliable sources only.
  3. Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
  4. Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
  5. Don't be a jerk.
  6. No racism, no bigotry, no spam.
  7. Be productive.

Instead of thoughts and prayers we should send lols and memes.

I would agree.... But this is hitting children who don't have the choice. I wouldn't wish the death of a child on a parent. It should be the parents getting measles and suffering

Unfortunately the children are the victims. I wish a pox on every adult who voted for this to get this ailment but not the children who don't have any choice
