If only every fuck one had told them this would happen. Said it before and ill say it again. We are passed talking, its time for a hard reset

Nearly every safety regulation in existence was written in someone's blood.

Happens every time you de-regulate.

Wow, we are reliving Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle," with the Gilded Age of America thrown in for some spice.

It's like The Jungle out there again.

Recalls happen all the time, that's not unusual. On average there are about 300 a year for the last decade.

For a guy espousing eating a healthy diet, he forgot to include FOOD WE CAN FUCKING EAT.
xmaneds
and remember, these recalls only happened AFTER the outbreaks became too big to ignore. several thousand sick, hundreds hospitalized, a few dead. THAT's when they do the recall. if they could possibly ignore it and skip the recall they absolutely would.

Lets not forget they also exploit slave labour in the factories and farms, paying prison workers only a dollar per hour for back-breaking jobs, denying legitimate employment and growth to communities in the process.
Grow your own food in local parks and fallow lands, resist the system. Reclaim golf courses and urban asphalt parking lots for the earth
MySushi
I learned that it is worse than I initially thought. They are paying their prison slaves one dollar per day, not per hour. What an absolutely shit society we have
Simusar
It's almost like the execs took a dump into the food personally as soon as the regulations were lifted.

Damn. The whole Big Mac is recalled huh. Must be agony for the big man in the white house.

He loves road kill so much he also wants Americans on the menu.

I always argued this shit with my "anarcho capitalist" in-laws. We HAD deregulation and small government. That's why we now HAVE regulation and big government. Just read The Jungle.

Fact Check: Misleading - Current issues are likely from the mass firings months ago.

Everyone in the administration kisses T arse and paid or promised to support the insanity. Kennedy disgraces the name.

Im kinda surprised that with the litigious attitude and massive payouts in the US that corporations are willing to risk this stuff, but I guess corporations are gonna corporate.

It's simple math. If a corporation can increase profits by single digit percentage points by cutting corners, and the worse repercussion is a possible recall that costs a fraction of said increased profit, they're going to cut those corners. A little bad PR is nothing when these corporations own a monopoly on their products and know that the news cycle will only last so long. Regulations force corporations to do the right thing because they have shown to be unwilling on their own.

*raises hand
Me! That would be me that imagined that. As soon as I heard about Trump cutting FSIS I knew that this was where we were heading.
It's only going to get worse as long as the GOP remains in charge.

Remember: regulations only exist because, without them, corporations would do literally anything to make more money.

Remember in 1970 the Ford Motor Company decided that the life of Ford pinto drivers was about 11 dollars. Pepperidge Farm remembers

They used to put chalk in the milk so it wouldn't taste spoiled. They used to put sawdust in the bread to cut costs. They used to put whatever meat they wanted in cans and slapped a label on it. Those regulations are there for a reason.

Food and safety regulations are written in blood (and diarrhea).
Asadsadsadclown
The regulations are also mostly intact. The staff enforcing them were gutted. Which is functionally the same thing but widlly easier to fix.
ticktockbent
This is the worst safety manual to read let me tell you. Do not lick your fingers between pages.
