Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

I do NOT have time to travel to a farm every other day to check the animals for diseases I don’t know/understand.
Rubbin up on a cow-wired

Yup, they're paving Paradise as we speak.
Most of them make double the median wage and get full benefits on top of that
Before that some milk was from sick cows-had a bluish tint.
Milk canisters weren't washed.
SOME HAD FORMALDEHYDE IN IT.
A *woman* proved brucellosis from milk.

But yes it is a nightmare that anti intellectualism is destroying decades of work that will take a generation to fix, if the opportunity is even salvageable.
This regime is stealing our investment, our well-being, & our freedom. In broad daylight. 🖕🏼
Media people gonna Capitalist.
Except that was funny.
Really!!!
We need their expertise to run our government!
But hey, you’re all getting a parade! Should fix things right up!
you will die due to a list of potential bacterium...
I hear farmers everywhere laughing their a😱😱es off...
It is just that regular people have been replaced by idiots, 19 year old tech bros, or (most often) nobody at all. So this is worse.
Certain branches (like the NSF/NIH) are of course very highly educated.
That's solid blue skying right there.
Good spots still available on Twitter.
Hint: wash the teats, tie up the tail & don't milk in the rain 😆
The person in charge of an entire region of the National Park Service, with thousands of employees and a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars, tops out at $225,000.
I am in charge of a division of that midsized national park and make $92,000 as a GS-12.
No license necessary.
I don't think these DOGE fools gave any thought to these professionals nor the work the do. They just trashed it and everything else that helps people.
Ever since Ronnie's "Nine scariest words" bullshit, conservatives have taken delight in painting civil servants as lazy, useless, and wasteful.
It's worked, and it's why people thought DOGE was necessary.

Every GOP accusation is a confession.
(I’m in state gov and it’s starting to trickle down to us… watch state governments get decimated in the next year.)
And all that E. Coli contaminating greens other veggies is coming from animal waste run off.
So, yeah, you decide whether to drink raw milk based on that.
Grew up watching videos in school about the Lake Cuyahoga fire and zebra muscle infestations that devastated the great lakes.
The EPA affected a miraculous recovery. Now that the symptoms are gone, no one seems to remember the disease.
It’s typical Trump laziness.
But the most important thing to understand is that people move to DC to work in government.
Probably the second most important thing to understand is that DC is a highly expensive metro area and fed jobs have good pay.
There are ALWAYS jobs on the other side of the table working for the affected industries. And they are eager to hire.
Without regulations, the Bering Sea would just be a sea of Chinese-built and Chinese-owned fishing boats.
Industry also knows this is temporary.
It's a foolish gamble.
Specifically for TB meds, it’s reported that 80% of the APIs are produced in China . What could go wrong?
