I remember a lot of people who survived the Depression, and it seemed to me (maybe that was a sexist perception) that men more often than women had something die inside of them in those days.

Each failed, in a series of errors and mismanagement that grew into a singular catastrophe — or as Jared Kushner described it on Fox & Friends, “a great success story.”

It's really just weak bleach, or looked at another way, an aqueous solution of chlorine. Claiming it is harmless is quackery. Granted that in acid solution chlorine is not very soluble.
