“Russia as about equivalent to Canada and Italy in economies. But, Russia has about 150 million people to support, which means that, when it come4s to economic strength per population, it’s no better than a third-world economy. And with the current war, it’s likely below a third-world economy, since about half their output is being used for their war machine.”

“In 1944 and 1945, Maj. General Lewis Hershey, Director of the Selective Service, along with Surgeon General Dr. Thomas Porran, were among the witnesses at US Senate subcommittee hearings on a potential national school lunch/milk program. These hearings would culminate in the National School Lunch Act of 1946.

“Hershey in particular had been working for a few years to draw attention to the large number of draftees rejected due to seemingly-preventable health issues, such as poor childhood nutrition (at least as early as this Jan. 1941 NY Times article).”

Whatever you’re going after, or whatever your points, why not express them without forcing people to go read the links’
contents?

Can you please expand on what your messaging is from outside the links, or at least provide some (not all) of the links’ content?

I try to say what I have to say without going to links,unless people force me to do so.
