I want to pair that with another story from today: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/world/canada/ostriches-avian-flu-rfk-jr-dr-oz.html

Dr. Oz, who oversees Medicare and Medicaid for the Trump administration, offered to relocate the doomed birds to his 900-acre ranch in Florida.

We definitely aren't in the good place
