If USDA and FDA checks on food/drug safety are gone, corporations will get lax. They were FORCED to apply sanitation standards in the Progressive Era. They won't do it out of the goodness of their hearts if it costs more. Tracking of disease/deaths disabled in CDC too.

These bans were hard won and are backed by lots of science.

PFAS chemicals cause cancer (kidney and testicular) and are linked to pregnancy problems and liver and thyroid disorders. And make vaccines less effective.

They really are trying to kill us. 🧪

Picturing Ego Must and 47 just laughing their asses off at the continued gullibility of the cult:
"Can you believe they swallowed that crazy list we made up before we even started the audit on USAID?"
"Hey, they still think I'm JC's disciple on earth!"
Raucous laughter while counting the $$$.

Over the last 40 years, the income share going to the middle-class fell from 62% to 43%

The share held by the wealthy increased from 29% to 48%

Real wage growth was highest for the top 10%

We need stronger unions, an increased minimum wage and affordable education to help level the playing field

47 walked out of a press conference because he couldn't remember what he was supposed to say. He walked out, confused. If Biden had done that, it would have SATURATED the news for weeks. The propaganda and censorship (see also the PA "attempt on his life" non-story) is already in full swing.

Nope.The BLM protesters were responding to actual events (and a Harvard-Radcliffe study determined that the BLM protest were overwhelmingly peaceful). The 1/6/21 insurrectionists were responding to blatant lies, proven over 60 court cases. Note the date of this report:
