Don't blame the people for being skeptical of Big Pharma. Big Pharma is the sole reason & cause for this skepticism.

Clunk in History is hilarious. Think of a documentary called Kamala Harris on Space, and you've got the idea.

The decline of PG&E began as early as the 1970s when they became bullied by the environmental movement. As the population grew, they did not increase the generation capacity to match it. Their focus was doing what the special interests wanted, instead of what was best for the customers or the company.

Trying to listen to an erstwhile news analysis podcast between people who sound like three drunk high-schoolers on their second pitcher of beer, with the incessant giggling and quickie remarks that aren't remotely funny to anyone who isn't them, is very annoying in the extreme. I had to shut it off. Bring back Ben as the host.

Episode 244. 3 points 1st. bleep button please. 2nd. Did he really say he didn't like the tax cuts from conservatives? Wow! Imagine what the national debt would be if the government had all that money to spend. 3rd. Ben why did you say that the proponents of gay marriage just wanted to join the institution of marriage. They have all ways had that opportunity. They just need to choose to be straight just like when they chose to be gay. We know it's a choice because there are former gay people out there. If you can choose to leave that lifestyle then you can't be born that way. No one said it would be easy but then life isn't easy.

The Federalist is trying very hard to portray what happened on January 6th as peaceful, with the violent element making up a very small portion of the folks there. Unsurprisingly it is the opposite of their approach to the BLM protests over the summer, which they said were violent from the start. I can't roll my eyes hard enough at the disparate takes on the violence.
