How was the bud light thing massive? People were buying Bud just to pour it out and then just buying other products in Inbev’s portfolio. People don’t understand that 85% of the beer in most liquor stores is a split between Coors and Inbev portfolios.
The court's action sets up a collision between the Food and Drug Administration's 23-year study and supervision of mifepristone, and the circumstances under which it can be prescribed.
Are orcs actually evil? I thought they were only evil when they congregated into a horde. Alone they kind of just hunt and do basic survival things. Maybe I am misremembering.
The discourse of the Trump era has been dominated by a conceit that the two major parties have swapped economic identities. The Democrats have supposedly abandoned their historical role as spokespeople for the working class to represent the neoliberal global elite, while the Republicans have been transmuted into scruffy...
Sounds about right… pretty sure unions only got the concessions like a 5 day work week because they were fighting so hard for it, that there started to become grumbling about owning the means of production.

Presidents are getting older and older. Former President Donald Trump was the oldest person to assume office when he was sworn in on Jan. 20, 2017, and President Biden broke that record four years later.

The president in particular is very much a figure head - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership, but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a fascinating character. On those criteria Donald Trump is one of the most successful presidents the US has ever had. He has already spent 4 of his 8 potential presidential years being investigated for fraud.

It’s a modified quote from Hitchhiker’s Guide. I am being a little dramatic with keeping the quote so tight, but in many ways I view it as mostly analogous and true.
The US, as well as most countries just seem to be a few corporations in a trench coat right now. The president or PMs largely do act as a figurehead and just giant distractions from the ineffectiveness/corruption of congress/parliaments and the corruption of corporations running things behind the scenes.
