It is high-fructose technocratic jargon-jive which is the odor of the day.

Stealing this line for sure!

What has me pretty nervous right now is that the nonsense laws that have just passed in my home state of CA will serve as proof to gun owners across the nation that we're lying about 'not wanting to take guns away' from the citizenry. Seriously damaging our brand.......though restriction supporters will never comprehend this. We're playing the gun violence issue with such intense stupidity that I've begun to believe that it's intentional. Doing our part, so to speak, of keeping the culture war stoked so as to distract from the truly serious issues........while the GOP does its part by shrieking about abortion etc. Both sides know that our owners are pleased with this state of affairs. Disgusting.
