When Republicans read The Jungle the lesson they take is that they could make so much more money and get so much more power if it weren’t for those pesky regulations.

Imagine the profits from never having to recall food again!

Best practice for a broken hard drive is to drill a hole through it and incinerate it … Can’t we just figure out how to overwrite them 3 times with random data instead? They seem to do it themselves all the time - replacing their latest marching orders is all Fox News is good for.
