worth remembering that hoover's administration was defined by 4 years of economic chaos, suffering, dislocation, and fear. People genuinely believed the country itself was on the verge of irreversible collapse. He still got 40% of the vote.

Someone is currently arguing with me that the UK is a surveillance state because it has lots of security cameras, and the US isn't because it doesn't.

Cervical cancer has a known path of prevention with the HPV vaccine. But that also means it falls at the intersection of three cultural issues that are facing strong political opposition — broad access to low-cost or free reproductive health care, access to vaccines for children, and sex education.
