This is like if you combined the Israeli government with a health insurance company. Just the absolute worst. Do not give this company money. Hey guys, did Anne Frank have any pre-existing conditions? Jesus christ.

"Whites only" communities are being established.

People are being sent to concentration camps.

Officials of the US government are disappearing people off the streets.

Broadcasting companies are bowing to government pressure to silence criticism.

We're six months in.
