Our ruling parties have seen over the course of the last 23 years that Americans are accepting of living under constant surveillance, so as dystopian as this is, Ellison's not proposing anything that is particularly outlandish.

The obscenely wealthy donate to both parties. Both parties protect the interests of the wealthy.

I feel bad for these folks.

No, they weren't.

The thing is, he's the candidate of change. He doesn't have to lie about how much people are struggling.

 

The article states that these horrendous, disgusting infractions of health regulations have been documented out for at least the previous year, but given their severity, I'd imagine it's always been this way at Boar's Head production facilities.

I'm going to cook my deli meats from now on, no matter where they come from.

 

In a groundbreaking experiment, Japanese researchers transferred regenerative genes to fruit flies, leading to improved intestinal health and enhanced stem cell activity.
