I mean as far as I know they are not getting horse meat, just bad beef. So my point was that horse meat isn't bad and it was a poor choice of comparison.
I read a lot of posts that say something like: "Sure Trump is ruining everything my family has worked generations to achieve, but he's still better than the alternative".
And then they'll get another taxpayer funded handout and Trump will be a saint again.
I know that the average MAGA IQ is probably in the single digits, but I just cannot comprehend how a latino or minority non-white person can vote for this.
MAGA was given the choice between a senile rapist pedophile who bankrupted half a dozen businesses and was convicted of 34 felonies, or a woman with an unusual laugh, and they couldn't bear to bring themselves to vote for the woman.
Yeah all the Trump voters still in my life say the same thing: “Trump is terrible and I don’t like him, but what’s the alternative? I’m not voting for a Democrat”
I appreciate what you’re saying, but that’s simply not feasible for the majority of Americans. This country has given away the ability to buy food from real sources long ago.
Can we talk about how awful the democrats are taking advantage of this? Why arnt they going to cattle land and saying if they vote blue they will fight the packaging companies low balling USA beef? Campaign on holding defense funds from Iran and Jerusalem. For God's sake just say anything to these guys. Don't tell them it's bad because of Trump say it could be better if they tried the other damn party.
But these people say that the democrats never go out there. That they are more concerned with identity politics. You can't say it wrong make a difference without ever trying
They should definitely go, but there simply aren't very many Democrats who can convince these voters that there are more important things than being able to say the n-word without repercussions.
I've gotten into arguments with conservatives by pointing out that corporations have a financial incentive to cut costs and increase prices. Seriously. And that's before talking about the focus on quarterly earnings, or inelastic demands.
Same people who would argue with me for pointing out that employers make money off of your work. As if that isn't the entire goddamned POINT of wage labor.
Him and mush have been working on "the tunneling machine" since the two cased Ft. Knox after he was elected. You don't think those billions trump has been laundering through musk have gone to "space flight" do you?
Wiping out our gold reserves will open the door for foreign "investors" to come in and buy up America for a penny on a dollar.
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump decides to do a similarly phony "Mission Accomplished" for Iran right before the midterms. They're in desperation mode. Fair to say I don't think it would be successful.
trump doesn't want to actually do anything and he doesn't want any statistics that make his administration, or more importantly, HIM, look incompetent. He'll claim the numbers are fake, made up by radicals hired by Obama/Biden, throw around some accusations of treason or domestic terrorism, and will ultimately stop any additional outgoing federal reporting on foodborne illnesses, and threaten to freeze any funding of state health departments who make any claims about foodborne illnesses or contaminated food. People will continue to get sick, but he'll claim the food has never been cleaner/safer/healthier, etc. Then the next horrible thing will happen and we'll all just collectively accept this as the new normal.
I remember tapeworm being a thing in the countryside when I was a kid growing up behind the Iron Curtain, when local peasants tried to save a few pennies by not getting their meat inspected. Now imagine that issue compounded by greedy agro corporations who want that extra percentage growth on their quarterly report.
Someone on this site said that we aren’t in idiocracy because the president actually cared about the people, and I’ve thought about it almost every day since. You nailed the stupidity, but they may just be evil enough to do it too.
It seems crazy that as soon as they lower the standards, the companies would lower their quality. It is almost as if they value profits over the safety of their product...
First of all, this leather-skinned roadkill scavenger supported Trump and told his brain damaged, antivaxx supporters to vote for Trump. So whatever happens under Trump is absolutely his fault.
Second of all, this ballsack-faced troglodyte is the one who gave Elon the names of all the scientists and inspectors to fire, because he’s wanted to destroy the federal health system for decades, on account of having his brains eaten by worms.
Zero excuses or sympathies for this science denying, fascism enabling, creepy nepo baby who swims in raw sewage and acts every bit as a weird as he looks and sounds.
Fuck this guy. Seriously. He has blood on his hands. Think about how many people are going to die because of his policies.
So he fucked up the food safety laws by rolling them back or reducing them or whatever. These goddamn companies didn’t have to follow along! He’s a fucking nut bag and everyone knows it. Why couldn’t they have just kept going the way they always have. Oh yeah I forgot, it’s America and it’s all about the fucking dollar.
I feel like any normal group of people would have to work damn hard to find a way to get so many things wrong but for everyone in this administration it just comes naturally.
I mean it all makes perfect sense when you consider the brain worms inside RFK jr's head are in control of him. The worms are trying to get more people infected like their in a game of Plague Inc.
What's surprising is just how quickly food producers dropped the facade of regulating themselves. You'd think they would have just continued doing what they were doing for a few years to convince the public that this was the best way, but instead it's like the second trump took office they cut all the shifts where the equipment gets cleaned to save a dollar 95.
Apparently a good portion of society needs to be reminded from time to time why we have food regulations, and vaccine regulations and abortion rights. It's going to take a lot of people dying before we get back to a good place, and it's going to take a lot of white Christian daughters dying from botched abortions to get that back too.
Who would have thought hiring an unintelligent herion addict trust fund baby to be in charge of all of America's health and medical needs would be a mistake?
How likely is it that RFK Jr is being fully controlled by brain worms and they are bent on spreading to become the new parasitic master race? Like could all of this be purposeful brain worm sabotage meant to infect more humans with brain worms?
What % of destruction of Gaza happened under Biden?
I'm being sarcastic. People didn't vote for Kamala to protest Gaza and things got a LOT worse in Gaza + Iran added to the picture. So yeah, those people are fucking morons.
Don't kid yourself, there were a lot more things the party did to lose that election. Gaza was just the cherry on top for a sub set of progressive voters.

My list of foods I'm not eating now is growing. How are U.S. beef producers feeling as early midterms voting in some states begins in just 18 days?
