Just hope I didn’t buy any of the unchecked food that slipped thru during that month and it’s sitting in my freezer filled with E. coli or something worse…

All part of the Musk smoke and mirrors show. On the DOGE website, he claims the savings from firing them, but doesn't bother to deduct the cost of hiring them back.

I hope someone is keeping count of how many government employees have been rehired since it was “discovered” those employees are needed and not “fraud, waste, or abuse” as declared by DOGE.
Please sign and share to get a general strike underway sooner than later: At least 220k people from each state are needed - we can do this-he does not have a mandate. https://generalstrikeus.com
Sounds very efficient. Now I understand why Teslas are so expensive. It is to compensate for the management skills of the CEO. And that is why Chinese electric cars are better and cheaper.
So... 6000 workers, 4 weeks off, 40 hours per week. Let's call it a million lost hours of productivity.
If the average pay with benefits is $40/hr, that's $40 million for nothing. And now that the employer - employee relationship has been shattered, how many will stay?
No it won’t, and I’m not even sure if it’ll happen in our lifetime. I hope it does.
My real concern is WTF is going to happen when climate changes make the coasts uninhabitable, and the interior a conflagration and or dust bowl.
Do “Christians” think prayer in school will solve that problem?
Get on the email newsletter list with Food Safety News. It contains good information and sometimes weird stuff like 100 people died from eating something but we’re not going to tell you where or what they ate. But it’s somewhat helpful.
It’s all abt d show! They don’t care what they destroy as long as they have some bogus #. U will c Cheeto publicizing them #’s every chance he gets. MAGATs applaud like d morons they really r. Most don’t even understand what’s happening & that includes Cheeto. How they r shooting themselves on d 🦶
I'm just glad they're back. They had to worry constantly that whole month about paying rent, gas, food and knowing stuff was slipping through the gap that they weren't there to catch. Back pay well deserved.
They are back, but can they work with all the damage done? Do they still have their computer access and phones? Are they still allowed to do research with answers the admin doesn't like? Are they still in fear of a Nazi inspired overseer who might take offense at their "DEI-ness?"
our emotional suffering due to lawlessness law suits should bankrupt al involved oligarch and their regime. literally or metaphorically. lit preferred to some met
So, once again, they fired essential workers. That's what happens when you bring in people who are hellbent on reducing the federal workforce with no idea of who is essential and who is not.
It's kind of a specialty of the Republican party. They have done this at every fiscal year end budget struggle, where they had the power. And they NEVER learn.
It was only a shame so he could steal our many years of data. Why would he do that? To make his AI smarter(?) than the rest. He now has every competitors detail on how their costs rolled up and the logic behind it. It's a big competitive advantage. Next year, we'll pay billions of $$$ to use it.
It doesn't work that way. The inspectors were never fired and those who wanted to take resignation were not allowed. There's a lot of hinky shit going down but we don't need to present false information like those evil bastards.
Dust off safe cooking time and temperature guidelines.
Frozen is a good thing.
With summer coming a refrigerator thermometer too.
So also pressure cooker.
Hand hygiëne is very important too. Better to use disposable gloves for prepping food, specially meats and poultry.
If you're not 100% sure just dump it. It will kill your pets too so dumping is the safest. Or go vegetarian until everything is back to normal.
I have dishwasher safe cutting boards.
It tool a bit of looking to find ones that that are small enough to fit in my dishwasher. Kitchen sanitation was once taught in middle&high school.
The best refresher info for food safety might be found in extension service web sites associated with 4H.
I'm confused. Why is Mushh able to influence federal workers' pay & benefits? The general understanding of his responsibilities is that they are accounting in nature. So, exactly how much power does he have and in what areas?
I’m happy they’ve been reinstated- for our wellbeing and their own good; but make no mistake, these folks were not on paid vacation. Their families’ anguish during this time is what we need to keep in mind. We are fighting for our humanity.
If Elon wants to find waste fraud and abuse, then look at Trump destroying the Country all week then jets off to Florida every freaking weekend to play golf costing the American taxpayers millions upon millions of dollars!! Disgusting!!
Facebook Mom buys canned goods and stores them in her pantry for 4 weeks.
If nobody in her Facebook group dies, she begins serving them to her family.
"I don't need USDA and FDA and all that wasteful shit. I do my own research.", she says.
The big food corporation lobbyists probably had a word with someone trump listens to about how they'd like to avoid class-action lawsuits for food-borne illness deaths.
Exactly! DOGE added costs not saved them. But cost-saving wasn't his goal in the first place. That was just the ruse. His goal was to shut down all investigations and claims against himself and his businesses while stealing private data for his competitors and our spies around the world.
One reason we need things like the USDA is because some people will do any horrible thing to make money. We need oversight and laws. And enforcement. Then people in our society are more safe from harm.
I've been using hypochlorous acid (HOCL) since the pandemic started - you get a kit, you make it yourself, it expires after two weeks so you make more - also great for dental care, wound care and general disinfecting around the house
Wasteful, like giving tax cuts to the rich instead of the poor, or allowing stock buy-backs to create monopolies, or putting unqualified people in charge of key infrastructure and vital economic policies or cutting medicaid and medical research so sick people stop contributing to society ETC ETC ETC
Are we sure they’ve bothered to create a list that includes everything manufactured and sold during the time there was no staff to check things? They’re probably already backlogged with work as it is.
You'll find multiple lists from different places, some the companies themselves while others are overseeing bodies or those that used to work for them.
That’s a scary prospect! I watched this show called the poisoners handbook. It was on Amazon prime I think, and it was about what they did to Food before they FDA was established.
Listeria in Boar’s Head, Blue Bell ice cream.
Bacteria laced infant formula…
That’s with regulations.
How many would have to die before they figure it out because no one is monitoring?
💀 disgraceful. Agree.
I wonder who told them that people were NOT going to buy food that could be deadly. Luckily it made an impression on food producers.
I'd give the makers @ 2-3 weeks before we start buying again. They have to clean all that machinery.
So, what did they do with all the money for the last month? Was it sitting in the bank or did they grab, buy then sell stocks and put back what they originally took?
This is what Republikans do, spin their wheels, waste time, effort, and money, for no appreciable gain, and blame it on democrats, or “libruls”. They are literally too stupid to be trusted with governing ever again!
This seems very wasteful. Change using a scalpel instead of a pickaxe would allow for more thoughtful and cost effective intervention. But if disruption is the point instead of cost-effectiveness, then ….
We all choose the words we feel work best- I stick by scalpel because I spent decades using them to excise lesions while *retaining* the overall structure when removing unwanted tissue, or making small openings to insert vital catheters. Medicaid wasn’t perfect-but informed tweaks, not bombs.
And more importantly the FEAR cruelty breeds. The power hungry want unquestioned obsequious followers, but covet the loyalty respect generated but have no clue how to achieve it. Getting people to be cowed is the real end game.

It's mostly things we don't heat up enough.
Maybe: Salad greens, Fruit, milk and the like.
Of course there are other deadly contaminants that are not affected by heat. Lead, radiation, PCB's, shards of metal and plastic etc.
Nothing new to report on?
Ebola is still cancelled.
Would you go under the knife with a surgeon who only gets it right 70%-80% of the time?
Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121.
Email them through their websites.
Tell them this:
1. Call for impeachment. Loudly. Daily.
2. Go see your constituents in the concentration camps in El Salvador.
Or don’t ask for money…

I have high standards. 😬

Crippled
Same safety guidelines? Same protocols? Same inspections?
What about on-going investigations?
I need to read more about this for sure.
I too can make crappy decisions when I’m not held to account for them. 🤨
Musk can't Govern.
GOP can't Govern.
5 bills passed in first 100 days.
Pathetic.
It was a shit show
We need to STOP this crap NOW!!
Call, Write ATTEND - we have to fight against this budget!!

Just Google this stuff and look up your products.

I want to sue him and I know we’re all in on that one.
Just shows they don’t know what the hell they are doing.
They do not care about Americans.
