You may want to think twice about grabbing that cold glass of milk. I'm guessing if people get sick from improperly processed milk it won't be reported either.

The U.S. beekeeping industry is in crisis over the shocking and unexplained deaths of hundreds of millions of bees over the last eight months. https://cbsn.ws/429PUSq
Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says
Bees play a key role in the U.S. food supply, and the mass deaths could jeopardize that.

Trump did not run on decimating government; he does not have the legal right to do so. With no mandate, he is carrying out a counterrevolution in plain sight by either destroying state capacity or making the parts of the state that remain his personalist tools.
