Conspiracy: During Prohibition, the government poisoned alcohol to keep people from drinking.
The truth: Manufacturers of industrial alcohol had been mixing their product with dangerous chemicals for years prior to Prohibition.
But between 1926 and 1933, the federal government pushed manufacturers to use stronger poisons to discourage bootleggers from turning the alcohol into moonshine.
That didn't stop the bootleggers or their customers, and by the end of Prohibition, more than 10,000 Americans had been killed by tainted booze.
Much of the illegal booze was sold in infamous night spots called 'speakeasies' - so called from the practice of speaking quietly about such a place in public, or when inside it, so as not to alert the police and neighbours.

Ignoring the BoarEd-level of conspiracy nonsense here, this makes no sense. Bootleggers made their own alcohol. If anything, this non-existent government program would have been a boon for bootleggers.

My topics are far more interesting, IMO.
If you wanna talk about gov poisoning the public look into products like linoleum that were designed with the intent to cause cancer with a product sold to the middle and lower class.
JMO of course.

And let's not even get started on the pharmaceutical industry.
Did y'all hear that the family who owns Purdue got levied with an enormous judgment recently? Crazy world. Getting the people addicted to your poison and patenting the drug meant to treat it.
Motherfrickers need to be swinging from the neck.
ETA: but yeah, let's ignore the conspiracy "nonsense."
It's too much goddamn truth is the problem.
Go back to sleep.

You guys aren't paying close attention. I don't have any alters and Pio and I are two different people.
I have proofed it on this website before.

Exactly. And Pioneer doesn't curse. I do. A lot. I curse just to prove I'm not Pio.
