It's erythritol

Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. Findings suggest that erythritol increases oxidative stress, disrupts nitric oxide signaling, raises vasoconstrictive peptide production, and diminishes clot-dissolving capacity in human brain microvascular endothelial cells.

You should look into the history of it a bit, the categories were really always kinda about the skin color

It kind of is though, the wealthy don't keep those trillions of dollars in savings accounts, they keep it in assets, which in some cases are literally factories and warehouses and large machines and in other cases just proxies for those things. It's complicated but not untrue to frame it that way

Lololol. This was the very first episode my super conservative parents saw. We had been telling them for ages how much we liked the show. I could tell they were so uncertain how to feel, it was hilarious ๐Ÿ˜‚

Not terribly related but Washington state's DMV is also fucked. Many offices only offer RealID by appointment and appointments are booked out two months ahead of time. I managed to get one only after driving an hour and a half out to bumfuck nowhere and waiting 3 hours for the 15 minute process. Fuck this shit. The office closest to me had a line across the street at 8AM on a weekday. How are we already a kakistocracy?
