Quite literally thousands of people are going to die from these choices.

"The Agriculture Department will not require poultry companies to limit salmonella bacteria in their products, halting a Biden Administration effort to prevent food poisoning from contaminated meat."

at this point i genuinely think theyre looking for anything that says the word "biden" on it and wiping it away no matter what it is

arvrrob.bsky.social•36 days ago

If people are dead, you don't have to worry about their health. 🤦🏻‍♂️

All so that the wealthy meat packing plant owners can gain more wealth

Looks like this is my sign to go vegan.

In the burger reich it’s the chicken that’ll kill you

miracleday.bsky.social•36 days ago

Only the ones who aren't dead already from no medical care, measles, childhood cancer, bird flu, teen suicide. The obvious goal is lots of dead Americans.

Am sure idiots think no biggie, just cook your damn chicken. Problem is cross contamination in kitchens, both business AND residential. Lazy about washing utensils or cutting boards? Some raw chicken juice splatter when you were opening the plastic film packaging and you missed cleaning a spot?

Great so now I’ll
Have to
Cook chicken to 200F

What's the upside here?

Like seriously who is supposed to benefit from doing something this obviously stupid? Poultry producers will take a hit when salmonella starts becoming a common problem, people will be angry when cheap meat stops being a thing, where's the upshot?

rysmith.bsky.social•36 days ago

This is cruel and awful but also just plain stupid on its face.

There's no way the bribes used to get this result will outweigh the costs, assuming this came from industry pressure and not the same place that Pete Hegseth's opsec lives.

then they came for the 'chicken washers'
and i did nothing, because i was not a chicken washer

datrod69.bsky.social•36 days ago

JFC. Maybe they'll be serving chicken at the white house. I am now a vegan.

people need to understand that even if somehow there is a free and fair election in the Democrats win that much of the damage that has been done, even if illegal or unconstitutional is permanent and much oof the damage that is being done will never be corrected in our lifetimes

jaidne.bsky.social•36 days ago

i really wish i was not forced to grow up in a time where the ruling power is hellbent on funnelling every single bit of money possible to themselves even if thousands could die in the process

abacadabber.bsky.social•36 days ago

Well, not with that attitude it won’t, Karl.

davidkelley718.bsky.social•36 days ago

And not for lack of desire, either. They’re breaking so much, so totally, that it really will be a multigenerational effort to build a new governmental ecology that remotely matches the infrastructure we’ve lost.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•36 days ago

No matter how much people desire the change that would be required no matter how much people work towards it. The amount of damage that has been done is going to literally take generations of work to rebuild and that is if the damage stopped today, it will not.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•36 days ago

some of the scientific experiments that have been stopped, literally took generations to get to the point where they were generations of iterations that have now been lost as well. This is not even taking into account, the institutional knowledge and history that’s been lost etc.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•36 days ago

rebuilding from this administration is going to be akin to rebuilding after a war or after a major natural disaster. it is not going to be a fix that one president will be able to enact. This is going to take generations of work to get back what we’ve lost in the first 100 days.

ballydunn.bsky.social•36 days ago

This is the most important aspect of this disaster.

sorrows42.bsky.social•36 days ago

New deal for this century

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•36 days ago

To actually come back from this, we are going to have to rebuild government in a way that actually reflects a pluralist democracy and casts out the white power colonialism that has dominated America from its inception. America is going to have to do a wartime effort sized reconstruction effort.

bcwbcw.bsky.social•36 days ago

I think people have to go to jail so that it doesn't just happen again in an election or two. There are so many parallel problems: media belongs to companies with moral conflicts to truth. Anti-trust is almost dead. Gerrymandering still means primaries are all that matter. Wealth all the 0.1%'s.

templedrake.bsky.social•36 days ago

There are STILL Dems talking about a 2 state "solution" in Palestine, so although I agree w/ you, I don't see that ever happening. Things will have to get A LOT WORSE before anyone will have that conversation. And things are going to get a lot worse, perhaps there's a glimmer on the other side.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•36 days ago

any politics that do not mention this stark reality are not based in reality, but based in rebuilding a corporate controlled capitalist status quo. A status quo that gave us Trump and the fascism He is now solidifying.

Either this empire, or the people, can survive. Not both

tiocono.bsky.social•36 days ago

Republicans really just hate Americans. So many of their policies really seem to be intended to kill us.

klogoldman.bsky.social•36 days ago

And even if we have a normal government again one day how long would it take to stand these programs back up? We are going to have permanent damage from this shit.
