If youre a democrat and im a republican, the algorithm is incentivized to push us apart. Tonight were taking a closer look at a system thats designed

It shows that they say, they believe that the panels, if tested would believe the same as a test that they conducted with ceramic tiles. Aluminium composite panels do not behave in a fire in a similar way to ceramic tiles.
