I think she typically has a white stripe down her back after walking under something freshly painted in white.

It’s a special kind of horrible that lets people claim they are against evil, but happily back genocide when it will cut their taxes a bit.

Everybody who is willing to work 40 hours/week should be able to afford rent, food, medical, utilities, and have some left over to save/spend as they see fit.

As long as you aren’t heating it, there isn’t much to leach into the water from a plastic bottle.
