Low wage workers for corporations. Soaring cancer rates bring in record profits for insurance companies and for-profit hospitals. And the folks that complain can go to for profit prison. It’s win-win-win-win. Trump was right, I don’t know if we can stand this much winning.

Don’t worry, we’re going to stop measuring air quality soon, problem solved.
