  • it is kind of astonishing that it's always the lettuce or another vegetable that does it, usually farmed in Yuma, Arizona where they just refuse to move the cows that get ecoli into the water source for the lettuce

    https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2024/01/e-coli-factory-farms-threatens-americas-leafy-greens

    A single enormous cattle feeding operation potentially threatens the safety of thousands of acres of leafy greens grown in the U.S. during the colder months, an EWG analysis shows.

    Irrigation water or dust contaminated with fecal matter from this giant feedlot, located in Yuma County, Ariz., could contaminate many acres of lettuce fields within 3 miles of the cattle farm, which produces 115,000 cows each year. This one feedlot is likely to be the source of contamination because of its size and proximity to the lettuce fields, compared to

    the other two animal feeding operations in Yuma County identified by the Food and Drug Administration in its investigations.

    In a canal near this feedlot, the FDA also found the exact strain of the bacteria E. coli that sickened people from lettuce during a recent outbreak.

    Farms in Yuma County that grow leafy vegetables produce 90 percent of the nation’s winter lettuce, between November and March.

  • if a bird flu epidemic coincides with the mass deportations it might happen extremely soon, sorry the vaccines have to go to real amerikkkans and also you must be deported during an epidemic just how things are

  • lets get Catturd a cabinet position at that point

  • I think he doesn't get through the confirmation process, but not because he's a creep, instead for some asinine reason like he's not old enough

  • Got it in 1 playback

  • I think this is extremely anti social behaviour, but also very funny that people are giving you a reason why they blocked you and sharing it with other people, I can't even begin to imagine the lists of some people on here if this feature was on lemmy, "@HexbearsStrongestSoldier" blocked on 1000 different lists

  • I would probably also add on that they did nothing to seperate her from

    and the average voter probably hates him now even more than they hate her.

    Also if they continue to insist on running on being diet Republicans they need to run a ticket with a white man as the president and probably a man as the VP too. At this rate Ivanka is probably gonna be the first woman to be president of the US.

  • If the AUKUS voting demographic showed up they would have won for sure

  • Yeah they had the opportunity to lean into "this isn't inflation, it's price gouging, you're being robbed by corpos", but instead went with "well actually the economy is the best it's ever been, what inflation?"

  • I'd like to believe the people who said they were uncommitted were actually uncommitted, but I'd lead towards a decent chunk of them bluffing since there isn't any accountability for whether they still voted for Kamala or not and they were mostly libs to begin with

  • I can't tell if you're joking, but almost none of those people are registered to vote in DC

  • Apparently ~240 million people are eligible to vote in

    which surprises me that more than 50% of people showed up. Also 30 million more people abstained from voting than either candidate got

  • they won't! but

    will instead offer to have a Republican as their VP in the next eleciton to ease any worries that they are not willing to reach across the aisle

  • SHE CAN STILL WIN SHE JUST NEEDS 40000+ ALASKANS (and all the other states)

  • I would probably give him the benefit of the doubt that he learned from the last term's round of tarrifs. He is most definitely gonna follow through on the mass deportations though.

  • I kinda think it's the exact opposite, that even if he died of natural causes over the next 4 years there would be a million conspriacy theories about the liberal driller taking him out

  • I think it's more likely he'll die of old age, he'll have to start doing some pretty wacky things to get into getting JFKd territory
