been saying this since November.

I've been stocking up on cold meds and the like since the day after we found out the results. get a bottle or two every time you get groceries.

with birdflu on the horizon it's only a matter of time.

Thumbs up for True Detective.

Back to the fucking MAGAts. If US meat makes into the EU market, I hope my fellow consumers are smart enough to avoid that and let it rot on the shelves.

It gets worse: MAGAts will use the lack of recalls as evidence that food is safer now.

And people that report on that negatively will be raided by the cops.

Ah yes, the just stop testing method. Worked flawlessly every other time it was attempted.

I do hear that getting rid of all the doctors cuts diagnosis rates way down.

Can't have cancer rates if we don't test for cancer *taps head

I'm expecting more batshit things like nutrition labels will be horribly exaggerated. "This Mac and Cheese dinner is ONE serving. Calories: 240. Because it's YOUR DINNER!" or some shit.

Would be great when Europe stop accepting food imports from the US.

What food? They are going to deport the workforce that harvests it.

There will be still immigrant workers, except they'll have to accept harsher conditions. Expect prison labor for detained migrants.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I suspect they will make rules harsher for some kinds of labor migration, while relax them for other kinds.

Musk has businesses too, especially since he's moving everything to Texas.

What it all looks like for me is the new administration promising and apparently going to do things in exactly the same logic as the previous administration, but with less elaborate excuses. Same power redistribution, but done uglier.

About the effect on the economy and replacing the workforce - it seems that they want Americans to work those jobs. That may be interesting.

Also I think I've read something about having appetites at hitlerizing not just Canada, but also Mexico. Then, it seems, they will come to the workforce. Dunno how that mixes with Trump's bigotry, but future is always unpredictable.

They're going to use more prison labor.

Yeah slavery is just kinda... legal.

Slavery, it’s called S L A V E R Y.

I'm pretty sure a lot of stuff would already not be allowed for import here and only the products that pass EU regs can be imported en masse (not like specialty shops/foreign section etc).

It’s the enshittification of the presidency once again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

As long as they leave my top ten GDP Blue state alone, dumb hicks can lead poison and E.Coli themselves into early graves. Maybe it'll increase the housing supply.

Blue Governors were able to do some mitigation of Trump last time. I'm hoping for it again.

That's why so many threw their fucking votes in the sewers. Plus Harris had a situation in her past which could be read uncharitably!!!

I think a decent response here would be to boycott processed foods

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The majority of foodborne illness outbreaks have been from contamination of unprocessed food.

Thanks to manure.

The EPA and FDA set limits and regulate pesticide, herbicide, and antibiotic use. A raw or paleo diet probably won't help much without both agencies.

Sadly the vast majority of people are either poor or time poor so it’s not an option for many.

It costs more to eat fresh produce, you have to shop for it more, and it takes more time to prepare.
