The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

It's all gone pear-shaped at 23andMe. Which is not a bad thing, given the misleading view of genetics that it encouraged. As Diana's article mentions, just telling people they carry a risk variant can be very problematic.
