FDA has failed. We’re going to need you start to look up Costco and Walmart or local organic cart body’s to regulate because the FDA can’t.

- add-sub-mul-div 2mo agoLet's remember, though, not to fall into the trap of thinking that its current incompetence is intrinsic.
- han-tyumi 2mo agoPlaybook: anti-regulation entities capture government, strip down regulators, and when disaster ensues, point to regulators' inability to prevent or address issues as an argument to further scale down the watchdog's power.
- andrekandre 2mo agoits definitely the playbook: screw up the govt then make the point that cant do anything right
- solid_fuel 2mo agoIt was fine for decades, I wonder what changed. Maybe the republicans did something stupid like putting a bunch of incompetent jackasses in charge.
- armitron 2mo agoIt wasn't fine for decades. Both democrats and republicans allowed regulatory capture to take place.
- solid_fuel 2mo agoOh yes of course, both sides. That's why there were huge cyclospora outbreaks in 2022. Because of the Democrats.
- SaucyWrong 2mo agoPerhaps. But did democrats famously take a “chainsaw for ‘government waste’” to all major federal agencies? No. That was a handful of Republican edgelords.
- conception 2mo agoYou can track food outbreaks by administration pretty easily. This isn’t hidden knowledge.
- solid_fuel 2mo agoThese bootlicking cowards all play the same game. 6 years ago, none of these dipshits had any complaints about the FDA besides - maybe - that it was a bit slow approving new medications. Then Trump 2.0 comes along and puts the known fascist and all-around shit heal musk in charge of gutting the federal government. Now the FDA isn’t working, USAID is gone, FEMA is a disaster, we’re critically short of air traffic controllers, and on and on it goes but anytime someone points out the obvious damage that the republicans have done the legion of drooling racists comes around to babble about how actually the FDA was broken the whole time. It’s insulting to anyone with a memory that isn’t wholly owned by Rupert Murdoch.
- arbitrary_name 2mo agoyes, Democrats put ideologues in charge of the EPA, took a 'chainsaw' to government, and gutted the agencies. you're so right. go peddle your mediocrity somewhere else.
- SlightlyLeftPad 2mo agoSurely has nothing to do with rolling back literal decades of safety regulations in 2 years.
