"Boy, your brother sure likes lesbian romance movies, with long, slow sexual tension build up and a final explosive release!"

Always those pesky donors you have to appease.
If that's how we're handling the wrapper, can't wait to see how we deal with the rest of that death-inducing Greed. This will make Big Tobacco legal battles look like a parking ticket fight by comparison.
That's why people go into government, to get kickbacks. It isn't a depressing side effect of government power. It is the primary purpose of it.
The highest levels of indicators for PFAS were found in food packaging from
Don't eat the wrappers!
Which fast food company used to run ads they had the best "cheese paper"? Aka solidified melted cheese that was left on the wrapper?
A mega-yacht-chasing class action lawyer could use it as evidence instructing people to suck down pfas even faster!
Yes, that is where the pfas-laden food exits after scraping its cancer-causing way down the alimentary tract. Good, Billy!
Whenever a system becomes completely defined, some damn fool discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition.
