While civil rights and suffrage have been legally extended to new groups, many of these groups continue to experience discrimination culturally and economically, especially in areas like immigration. Further, new inequalities have emerged with the recent increased visibility of groups…

Another concern with petrolatum is that it creates an airtight barrier on the skin, not allowing for normal “breathing”. This can act as a penetration enhancer, and if your lip balm contains any of the questionable ingredients listed above, absorption into the bloodstream will be increased. I suggest looking for lip products that contain plant-based waxes; high quality oils…

It was a bunch of guys in bloody aprons that got us these things, not some pretty smelling, sweet-talking lawyer in a hundred dollar suit.” This quote describes a trivial bit of insight into the foundations of a meat packing and poultry workers’ union.
