Venezuela closes border to block aid shipments. The government has restricted food, water, and medicine to its own people. Those inside the border are now 100% dependent on their own resources and the government. Which of those has your best interest in mind?

Chris - Curious how this years long and harsh winter is going to effect tick populations and the spread of Lyme disease. There are mixed theories around how long cold winters impact tick populations. Also been catching some interesting articles coming out about antibiotic resistance breeding in municipal water systems.
