you left out consumer protections, labor laws, overtime, PTO, regulatory oversight, whistleblower protections, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom, the ACLU, the ALA, and everything else you thought was safe
i would say delete all your social media, but it's not going to matter
You left out literally everyone on the planet being fucked over by climate change.
Yes fuck you very much America. From the rest of us. You are the worst.

There won't be another century.
He IS THE ANTICHRIST.
