It is so baffling to me how many wealthy and powerful people who have cultivated an effective immunity to any crime they commit decide to be sex criminals instead of the way less despicable and more whimsical quest to eat one of every endangered species.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.
