My jaw dropped. Could I really be seeing a picture of the "expert" witnesses on birth control testifying before Congress, and ….they were all men?! [1] What year are we in anyway?

Pero ésto sí es cierto: el sueldo mínimo federal en los Estados Unidos para un mesero que recibe propinas es de $2.13 la hora. ¡Éste sueldo federal no ha cambiado en más de 20 años! No les tengo que...
