Not that it matters but I just burned through a couple of bios about him and wow, for a 28-year-old he looks 40. The stress of executive leadership I suppose . . .

I'm curious as to how often you go out of your way to criticize the lack of logical and open discussion in feminist circles. I'm in the journalism industry, and have seen time and time again one-sided mob psychology suffocate anyo

In the US plastic is produced via cracking natural gas into ethane. In Europe and China they still use crude oil and crack it into naptha, but that's starting to decrease as they turn to cheaper natgas.
