COVID rapid test shortage in the US

As many Americans travel to see loved ones for the holidays, COVID-19 rapid tests are in short supply and often expensive.

What does this signal for future discord in a country that has managed to avoid internal conflicts since 2020? And public attitudes about psychedelics have run the gamut, from excitement to vilification. Today, a crop of entrepreneurs and investors are betting that psychedelics will be the next big thing.
