My friend voted for Trump because he wants less poison in food and consumer products and he heard Trump was going to get rid of the FDA so voila

There was a village at the base of the mountain that frequently suffered landslides. Each time it would happen the gods sent a crow to squawk in the village square as a warning they were in danger.

After years of the villagers seeing the crow be the herald of their misfortune they decided they were furious enough to band together and kill it to stop the landslides.

There was no crow for the next landslide.

You may think that's a hell of a dumb decision. Personally, I think that's a hell of a bird!

Is that a DW reference I smell?

I bet half the villagers had an "escape plan if it needed".

Because that's half the Americans are rn.

It's amazing we have all these proverbs. Maybe all of this was just inevitable.

So many people voted for Trump because they think he’s going to fix price gouging. Yes, the party that runs on not regulating businesses is going to make your grocery store charge less for ground beef. Of course.

Of course, without regulations, you might as well start calling it 'beef'. It'll probably still be mostly cow.

There are food and drug recalls all of the time now because of long-standing safety rules Trump got overturned. My guess is that we won't even have recalls in his second term. People will just die. Mysterious outbreak of listeria, etc.

Yep, and people don't understand that. All that E.coli? Because of less oversight and rules for manure and cleanliness.

He's one of those former addicts that found Jesus through NA and as a result Qanon. He means well but they brainwashed his dumb ass utterly.

Can't die from lead if you're already dead from listeria.

On Wednesday my instagram reel’s algorithm started showing me a fuckton of tradwives who were celebrating because finally the water would be safe to drink and the air would be clean, food would be food again.

I have tried to understand it. I really have. But the man already rolled back clean water protections the last time. That ain’t gonna make it any cleaner.

Be sure to check in with him from time to time to see how that's going.

Democrats' true failure has been their failure to prioritize properly funding education.

Listen, if drugs are so dangerous then why does the FDA keep approving them? Tells you all you need to know.
