Got an ad for a fashionable potato sack that ships in 24 hours, for the cult leader who's in a hurry and needs to shame her followers when they try to escape

This revolting government is trying to slip thru reapprovals for inhumane female pig breeding crates again. You only have this week to submit on the legislation amendment so please give this some of your urgent civic minded attention!
