nuance? in this economy??
The rules are written in blood, yes, HOWEVER COMMA, when the subject matter experts are employees of the major manufacturers, regulations get written in ways that favor companies with hundreds of millions of dollars they can budget toward complying with THE REGULATIONS THAT THEY WROTE FOR THEMSELVES

I'm not here to argue you should eat x, I'm saying there's something really unhelpful and unhealthy in thinking the way to deal with social problems is with personal choices. We need to stop doing that.

I’m texting a friend who just said “X is my firmest belief,” and I don’t mind telling you he sent me into an existential vortex of disbelief and non-meaning because I do not know what the hell my firmest belief is.

I’m excited to stick it to the MAGA establishment obviously but I’m almost more excited to stick it to the doomers who said there was no point. You underestimated the power of rage and the human spirit and I hope you feel ashamed of yourself
