Is organic produce mostly about marketing hype?
SHARE More Sharing
Several sources say that there is little difference between organic and non-organic fruit, especially in regards to pesticide use. Are people being duped into spending lots of extra money to get equivalent produce?

What should we do with friends, family members, and coworkers who voted for Trump and other sociopathic Republicans? Aren't these friends, family members, and coworkers sociopaths too, since they support sociopathic politicians? How can we deal with such people?

SHARE More Sharing
Many activists on the Left want Medicare for all. But the way things are going, it seems we're more likely to get Medicare for none.
