Republicans run on destroying anything functioning, and shocker, their voters just assume nothing works.
A bunch of fucking idiots that spend their time voting to dismantle safety measures, then run around bitching about the lack of safety measures. It could be funny if it wasn't so god damned depressing and fucked up for all the people who want safety measures.
I've got an idea, let's just get rid of the FDA altogether!
(This is unironically what Republicans will do, and have already started doing)
Republican standard procedure is to cut funding to an agency, yell about how the agency is ineffective ( most likely becsue of funding cuts) to turn public opinion against the agency, use that negative setiment to justify further cuts, and then repeat the cycle.
Did Republicans fuck with the system as always? Because I think we know who to blame.
Regulation bad....
Why did you let that company poison me...
yes. deregulation. one thing I like about aldi is a fair amount of european stuff but thats no guarantee given how france sells stuff abroad it could not at home.
The purpose of a system is what it does. Apparently the purpose of our food systems is to overcharge for a basic need and to give you listeria.
Betteridge says no.
