Last year Governor Jim Pillen, whose family owns one of America’s largest pork companies, was widely criticized for calling a Chinese-born journalist at Flatwater Free Press a “communist” after she exposed serious water quality violations at his hog farms. Earlier this month, the Nebraska supreme court ruled that the state environmental agency could charge the same investigative news outlet tens of thousands of dollars for a public records request about nitrates.

Everywhere I look there's a huge problem affecting all of us, and a republican doing everything in their power to make it worse.

I wonder why the EPA is being gutted. Their ability to enforce regulations stripped (potentially soon) by the partisan, Federalist Society Supreme Cunt, ah sorry I meant to say court.

So that corps like this can operate in a way that harms us all. What the folks that run these companies don't get is that we are harming the environment, yes, but also humans ARE the environment. Including them and their families! Such shortsightedness.

The blood that flows through your veins is produced by water and minerals you consume through food, food that comes from animals and plants living in these areas and areas like them, animals that eat plants full of these pollutants watered by water full of the very same.

So in a (very direct) way, when corpo cunts dump toxic output into rivers, they're dumping it right into your veins.

HUMANS ARE THE ENVIRONMENT, WE ARE NOT SEPARATE FROM IT.

So next time you hear someone joking about environmental regulations, remember they are playing games with your body.

Gee, I wonder why cancer in young persons is booming. Well, at least we have adequa healthcare, not like we're just draining peoples' life savings for harm caused by this and things like this, right. Right?

Smh.

But hey, go out and look at the beautiful algae blooms this year. Not that we have a choice.

That's just the processing plants for Tyson. Realize that they control their whole production chain. They hatch the chicks, sell or rent them to farmers, produce and sell the farmers the feed, then transport the grown chickens back to be processed.

They are truly a monstrous polluter.

The wastewater was enough to fill about 132,000 Olympic-size pools, according to a Guardian analysis.

Can I get a list of companies that aren't pieces of shit? I think it'll be shorter.

If you think that's bad, wait until you hear what they're feeding to people.

oil and cyanide were among the 371m lb of pollutants

Why does a food producer even have these things?

Thank you for posting.

I am not surprised they did this, but I am surprised people are willing to eat Tyson foods. They have been awful for as long as I can remember.
