Here, poverty in the United States is a choice. Stagnant middle-class incomes are a choice. Technology-fueled mass unemployment is a choice. Racism is a choice. The patriarchy is a choice.

And that third and final mistake is without a doubt the most costly of all. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

It is impossible to control experiments which are conducted among subjects undergoing the continual chaotic conditioning of normal life.
