Watch the first five or six minutes of this 11 minute interview (if you can stand it). The remainder is about Monsanto's corruption.

Submitted by martianexpatriate on Fri, 05/13/2016 - 8:24amI've spent the last few months staying at the Santa Fe Inn. I am considered to be disabled and live on SSI, but not SSDI. That means I get $730 a month, and it's lead to a lot of interesting problems in staying alive.
