If that person wasn't there, you'd still be open though. From what I have seen of people going in during a holiday, they are all overworked with no time off and cannot get what they need beforehand, leading to them being essentially forced to.
The bottom ones are not hyperbolae, they are "found evidence in the files released." With the current administration I think it's safe to assume if a transperson or drag queen were in them they would've been unredacted and released as early as possible to distract from the rest of it, let alone all the people also combing what was released.
This post is a good example of said slander/infighting, as MLs are inherently not dogmatic, and having consistent values is painted as being homogenous.
You're sort of right it's not all of them with lead, just the biggest disposable brands with toxic metals. ELF, ESCO, JUUL, SMOK MODS, Flum Link to research. They're already illegal in the US, but are still widely distributed and sold here with no signs of slowing.
Thanks for the direct link!
