If you're still keeping up with Season 15 of The Bachelorette, you've demonstrated great perseverance, maybe even as great as St. Catherine.
Hannah Brown's season has gotten messy, in the best and worst ways. After People Magazine broke the story that Jed Wyatt, a contestant, had a girlfriend before the show and then also cheated on that girlfriend with another woman, Bachelor Nation went crazy. Every moment he's on the show is somehow more despicable than watching Luke P be a pathological liar. Still, Luke P. has stuck around for reasons that many are still failing to comprehend.
Hannah's One-On-One With Jed
After everything we know now, it's very difficult to watch Hannah go on a date with Jed. Their time together was boring until Hannah told Jed she was falling in love with him. Bachelor Nation cringed and defended Hannah against the true villain of the season, Jed.

Hannah's One-On-One with Tyler
Hannah's date with Tyler wasn't very exciting. They spent their awkward time together roaming the city on horses and eating odd food.

It wasn't until the evening portion that Tyler C. opened up about his family's past. His father lost everything he had after the 2008 market crash, and then his parents got divorced. Hannah went on to share details of her family life. She disclosed that her parents are in a happy marriage, but they're horrible at communicating. The moment was surprisingly honest for the show—to viewers' delight and her parents' embarrassment.

A Moment of Silence for Connor: He was never making it to hometowns.
Connor S. had barely received any screen time since his one-on-one. He faded into the background for viewers and, apparently, for Hannah. When the contestant knew he wasn't going on a one-on-one the week before hometowns, he went to visit Hannah for their own alone time. Hannah wasn't really ecstatic about the surprise and truthfully told him she just doesn't see it happening for them.

Hannah's One-On-One With Mike
After telling Jed she was in love with him and then an "explosive" date with Tyler, Hannah realized that she couldn't keep Mike around. She especially couldn't meet his family knowing how big of a step that was for Mike.
The contestant took the break-up with grace as he consoled Hannah.
Mike literally said “take your time” and gave Hannah a hug as she was breaking up with him. MIKE DESERVES BETTER… https://t.co/xlfl0Mdt0c— pettybachnation (@pettybachnation)1562029736.0

After Mike went home, Luke P. was happy because there's one less contestant battling for Hannah's heart. Tyler C. called him out in the most glorious fashion.

The Group Date
To sum up the painful and barely entertaining group date, there was annoying drama between Garrett and Luke. Thankfully, our sweet Pilot Pete stayed in his own lane.

Is Wayfair Using Furniture for Child Trafficking?
About a year after being accused of selling furniture to ICE detention centers, e-commerce site Wayfair is in another controversy.
07.10.2020
Wayfair, the e-commerce website beloved by millennials on a budget who don't want their apartments to look just like IKEA showrooms, is no stranger to controversy.
Last summer, employees of the company organized a protest after allegations surfaced that Wayfair had sold $200,000 worth of furniture to border detention facilities. Now, Wayfair is being suspected of trafficking missing children in their furniture.
<p>Threads on Reddit and Twitter pointed out that Wayfair had listings of storage cabinets and pillows being sold for thousands of dollars–with names that correlated to those of missing children. One example is a $13,000 storage cabinet called the Yaritza Storage Cabinet; last month, a 16-year-old girl named Yaritza Castro went missing from Connecticut. Screenshots indicate that multiple, nearly-identical cabinets were being sold for jarringly high prices under different female names. </p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>
<!-- End Ezoic - undersecond12 - under_second_paragraph --></p><p>"Is it possible Wayfair involved in Human trafficking with their WFX Utility collection? Or are these just extremely overpriced cabinets? (Note the names of the cabinets) this makes me sick to my stomach if it's true," a Reddit user by the name of PrincessPeach1987 <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/ho2pqv/is_it_possible_wayfair_involved_in_human/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf" target="_blank">posted in a subreddit dedicated specifically to conspiracy theories</a>. People in the responses generally agreed; before long, the topic had reached the masses on Twitter, sparking a nationwide conversation.</p><p></p><p>While Wayfair boasts a vast array of sellers on their website, the brand of the cabinets—WFX—is a trademark of the company itself. While these cabinets were all being sold for over $10,000, similar cabinets on Wayfair typically go for prices between a few hundred dollars and $1,000. Furthermore, some Reddit users pointed out that searching the SKU number of the cabinets in question pulls up photos of minors.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>
<!-- End Ezoic - undersecond12 - under_second_paragraph --></p><div id="3cdc1" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="a02702eb27d90679d38cc37070e47cbe"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1281278680753455107" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">Here’s a sketchy thing I saw today & did some searches ... https://t.co/4lRewtPoIY</div> — Luna 💓 (@Luna 💓)<a href="https://twitter.com/edmmariluna/statuses/1281278680753455107">1594315617.0</a></blockquote></div><p>"There is, of course, no truth to these claims," <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/wayfair-child-trafficking-conspiracy-theory-cabinets-scandal-1517013" target="_blank">Wayfair responded in a statement to <em>Newsweek</em></a>. "The products in question are industrial grade cabinets that are accurately priced. Recognizing that the photos and descriptions provided by the supplier did not adequately explain the high price point, we have temporarily removed the products from site to rename them and to provide a more in-depth description and photos that accurately depict the product to clarify the price point."<br></p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>
<!-- End Ezoic - undersecond12 - under_second_paragraph --></p><p>Since Wayfair has been accused of selling to detention centers, the ties between children at detention centers and human trafficking is no coincidence. Over the last decade, <a href="https://theintercept.com/2018/04/11/immigration-detention-sexual-abuse-ice-dhs/" target="_blank">there have been staggering numbers of sexual abuse claims filed by people in immigration custody</a>, with very little investigation. </p><p>Under President Trump's zero-tolerance immigration policy starting in spring of 2018, thousands of migrant children have been separated from their families. During a hearing in April 2018, Steven Wagner—a top official with the Department of Health and Human Services—said <a href="https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Wagner%20Testimony.pdf" target="_blank">the Office of Refugee Resettlement was "unable to determine with certainty the whereabouts of 1,475 [unaccompanied migrant children]."</a> </p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>
<!-- End Ezoic - undersecond12 - under_second_paragraph --></p><p>Expectedly, this sparked an even larger backlash—especially considering that Trump's zero-tolerance policy explicitly targeted the Mexican border, and <a href="https://www.ncjrs.gov/App/Publications/abstract.aspx?ID=205054" target="_blank">Mexican and Latin American women and girls are at a disproportionately high risk of sex trafficking in the United States</a>.</p><p>The Redditor who started the thread about Wayfair told <em>Newsweek </em>that she has been "involved in a local organization that helps victims of human trafficking," which has led her to be "suspicious most of the time now." According to<a href="https://www.childrensrights.org/newsroom/fact-sheets/child-sex-trafficking/" target="_blank"> information obtained by ChildrensRights.org</a>, sex trafficking is one of the world's fastest-growing criminal industries, generating an estimated $150 billion per year.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>
<!-- End Ezoic - undersecond12 - under_second_paragraph --></p><p>Due to the increased vulnerability of being separated from parents, children in the foster care system are at the highest risk of child trafficking—a statistic that could very well ring true in ICE's detention centers. </p><h2></h2><p>The jury is still out on whether or not this conspiracy theory is true, but if you needed another reason to boycott furniture retail giants and resort to your local Craigslist, this one is as good as any.</p>

<p>Krewella explains, "We wrote 'Rewind' about the bittersweet feeling of losing yourself in memories. How moments and emotions seem to vanish in the blink of an eye, and suddenly it's a month, a year, sometimes a decade later, and you feel like everything you've experienced is a fictional story."
