You can say it. It's perfectly legal in California.

The headline gives far too much attention to Trump and buries the lede. If there is another Republican president, they will be expected to toe the line. This is the initiative of Project 2025. This is the Republican playbook.

Hillary Clinton is irrelevant, and should get over herself.

The antibiotics are used so that the chickens don't contract infections and die from living in inhumane conditions.

This change allows them to increase their profit margin at the cost of animal welfare.

It would seem that I'm going to be driving old cars until I die. I also like manual instruments and gauges that make sense. I don't need to watch Netflix rolling along at 70mph. Before anyone schools me on my carbon footprint, I get 37mpg and a tank lasts me about a month.

As a consumer, I will now forever remember that WebMD's C Suite is most interested in "crushing their competition" and being heavy handed with their employees. I once thought that they were concerned about the betterment of societal health. This is how you lose your most performant employees.

I can't believe they published this to a publically available platform like Vimeo. Did they already lose their Marketing executive?
