Real people are going to die from all these government cuts, just as much as if Musk shoot them in the head.

Hi! /c/AtlantaNews admin here. I'm currently reviewing news sources and processes to address that specific issue. There will be a better filter for Atlanta news in place by the end of the week. If there are any news sources that I should or shouldn't be including, let me know!
