The big difference here is that 1 million people took the fake blood tests and made sometimes major medical decisions off of it

They may have been like Enron and had several legitimate businesses to go with the fraud

Average MLB game length in the 1920s (when it became the biggest sport in America):

“Who is we indeed?” -Leitch

And really it’s more like you have like a week ruined. People move on with insane speed.

I mean the student loan crisis doesn’t contain the narrative you think it does. i.e. if you can’t pay back a *subsidized* student loan, that’s *ipso facto* proof that the education was a bad investment

I mean if you’re going to pretend that aspects of Christian fundamentalism are absent in Islam as commonly practiced, that’s just being willfully dumb

Well the women being forced to wear tarps and subordinate themselves in every aspect of their lives don’t have a choice. Their condition is imposed on them by a tyrannical worldview made manifest in backward theocratic governments.
