The pizza place near me distinguishes between sizes by labeling them either “normal” or “American”.

Reminds me of this part from Kurt Vonnegut’s “A Man without a Country”

Can someone explain to me like I’m a toddler why the “liberal” Supreme Court justice halted an order mandating that the federal government continue funding SNAP benefits?
