    As the article is overtly political, I'll make a political response and cut to the chase: Trump is the most for-sale candidate and president in history.

I Ditched Google for DuckDuckGo. Here's Why You Should Too
A quick office survey revealed similar search banality: recent Googles included "capitalist," "toxoplasmosis," and "hyde park police." For the most part, what we’re looking for online is simple: definitions, companies, names, and places. Where DuckDuckGo has struggled is when I look for something incredibly specific. So, for example, search for "film Leonardo Dicaprio goats scene" in DuckDuckGo and it doesn’t...
