@Stevo Well, I think it used to be a little less critical. It had it's own section in the newspaper or magazine, and could be easily ignored. You had to go looking for it. Now it slips and slides in between the cat videos, the life hacks, 5-minute crafts, and the 4-ingredient recipes to feed a battalion.
Or, it was always critical and we should have paid attention, or the Rethuglikkkans wouldn't have screwed us so hard.
