One wonders what prompt you put in to generate that image, and if typing whatever it is you typed constitute the crossing of a line you previously didn’t even know existed
Let's hope that this time, the Orange President Man is Serious, which he was not the first time around, having too much Boomer faith in the old political system and the Vichy Right. This time, he very well could be contemplating purges, not "reform", of a evil, foul smelling, corrupt, Regime.
The whole safteyism spheel falls apart when discussing chemicals with names nobody can pronounce. I think having them in the water table and food supplies is probably a bad thing. Maybe we should be saftey first when the alternative is a chemical bath worse than the one the Joker had.
They’d need to be completely cleaned out for starters, and their replacements would have to not be industry shills. A tall order for certain. Perhaps stoking a moral panic and using that as pretext might work, it’d cost a good bit of political capital and there is only ever so much to go around.
Using lead, asbestos, and cigarette imagery would probably be effective at getting the public on board. There is also the fact that this shit effects everyone, not just poor people. That’d mean there would be a large base of support if you aimed for people’s stomachs.
It’d have the added bonus of causing the deluded to chug down barrels of chemicals as the recent flouride drama has shown. Would be hilarious seeing them try and defend the current acid bath.
You joke but this might be the way to do it. Implementing a chemical tax wherein companies get dinged for how much of their dangerous chemicals end up in the food and water supply.
It’d create a whole new trough for regulators to get into and everyone always loves a new trough. This one could have the rare benefit of actually being beneficial to the average person.
The issue would let us have the moral high ground fairly easily if it was marketed correctly too.
Main issue is it could become a slap on the wrist or just another cost of doing business. There would also be a hell of a fight from a wide swath of industries. Still worth looking into.
Yeah, my lazy joke was born of recognizing the complexity of maintaining a healthy water table and food system. It’s like government is just thinking “To hell with it. Just plant trees and sell carbon credits” but the problems are trickier than CO2.
We want to feed the world, but think it can’t be done without glyphosate. We want the sanitation of plastic, but leave it floating in the ocean. We want electric cars, but that causes horrid mines and lakes of waste.
Implementing taxation for dangerous chemicals could be sensible.
I’d maybe be on board if that particular wing of the EPA was managed state by state and only funded in proportion to the amount of tax penalties it collected.
I agree with state level implementation, and partially disagree with the tax farming approach. I have mixed feelings about that model given historical precedent.
To your point on keeping it state level…
Keeping the environment clean enough that it doesn’t give us turbocancer and turbofaggotry without adding to the government leviathan is impossible as far as I can tell. You’d essentially need a world government to force third world countries to comply (because the water circulates through the entire damn world) and a lot of government expansion to ensure that enough vigilance is kept to test and catch chemicals in the water supply. Then more for the army of lawyers you’d inevitably need to deal with all of the arbitration and assignment of blame and taxes.
Which I can say with 99% confidence is the opposite of what literally everyone on the poast wants. Decentralization means the whole world might get poisoned by retards and crooks.
If anyone has any ideas, let me know. Its one of the things I poison my liver drinking to forget about.
The safetyism is destroying a lot of the dynamism that made young people move to cities en masse 10-15 years ago. Combination of covid and regulations reaching insane levels (things like fire codes, zoning etc). Very few independent restaurants because no one can afford the absurd licensing/permit requirements. No independent bars/restaurants means no exciting music/food/art scenes. It’s an extortion racket. One of the biggest issues for me this election.

Bronze age freak off
One really wonders if he’s ever going to find out that BAP is exactly the kind of IQ-Right Status Striver that he’s complaining about.
They called him Hitler because they knew of the coming crystal-nacht

Yeah idk how to get the FDA and EPA to focus on the real problems.

You get a follow for the liver comment.
Yeah, better just implement carbon taxes. lol.

Safetyism is the child of litigation.
'This coffee may be hot'
'This peanut butter may contain traces of peanuts'
I genuinely believe the US could be like a caged-bird set free if we implemented “loser pays.”

You should do a weekly podcast.
I do...in theory.
Lotta "best tweet of the year" contenders in this roundup, Dudley. You're going to have a hard job next month!
some of the social media screenshots excerpted for the poast read like trolling. possible trolling. just a heads up about that
i'm not sure what you're referring to
