Well, I mean yeah, but that's a given. It's the 20s (again).

But I did make a very deliberate choice to post this in this community before not the onion, because I knew most people would read that headline, let out a hopeless sigh of annoyance/frustration for America, and come to the same conclusion why any researcher might be busted by the FBI for "smuggling E. coli."
