Update: apparently she was kicked out for a joke that was misunderstood by the moderation team. Word on the street is that she posted this comment on an article about Johnny Cash. This is important as what she wrote is a clear reference to one of his most famous songs.

When I say they PROFIT by causing preventable illness & death, this only scrapes the surface of their deadly profiteering.
