“Nothing would fundamentally change.”
If you look at US mass incarceration level over time, you can see where Biden the senator's policies ramped up mass incarceration under Nixon/Reagan/Clinton.
You can see where other presidents (including Trump!) tried to undo that.
You can see how Biden started Bidening again when he became POTUS🤦🏿♂️

I said Reagan.
The 3 people most responsible for mass incarceration, in order, are:
1) Reagan
2) Biden
3) Nixon
You can look at specific policies written, pushed, or passed by all 3.
The biggest difference though, is no one expected me and almost every Black man to vote for Reagan or Nixon.

This is probably what’s happening for *most* of their soups but they are definitely experimenting (the food industry as a whole) with 3D printing meat.
It was intended to be a measure to combat food insecurity but ofc scale hasn’t kicked in yet & the public AINT going rn so it’s mad expensive.

I fully believe that he just meant bioengineered (because he mentioned that first, which is completely different from 3D printed chicken).
Bioengineered means they did a little bit of Gene splicing to make the chicken more resistant to disease, and possibly bigger (grow faster in a shorter time)

Hi !
“acceptable people” are “breaking stories” around things I’ve spoken about for decades
While I’m important I’m not alone
Besides being factually wrong, it’s antithetical to the point I’m trying to emphasize
A civic conversation space is historical infrastructure that must be maintained
