They got some OSHA citations repealed, which on the surface looks like a victory. For Stagliano it is a victory, But if you’re one of Staglianos producers look out, the bus is coming your way now. Seems attorney and John argued that Evil […]

Looks like the people of California gave […]

A Major Flaw In The Testing System https://mikesouth.com/https-mikesouth-com/a-major-flaw-in-the-testing-system-10906/ https://mikesouth.com/https-mikesouth-com/a-major-flaw-in-the-testing-system-10906/#comments Fri, 05 Sep 2014 22:24:43 +0000 http://www.mikesouth.com/?p=10906 The adult industry testing program is a Harm Reduction program.
