American food safety checks have nearly stopped now that the FDA has been cut so bad|y. They can't even follow up on investigating reports anymore.

Why are we importing and allowing dangerous foods to be sold here?

Why would they stop it?

It's very, very clear from the entirety of actions by the Trump admin that they just need enough of their herd healthy enough to ensure production for the oligarchs, and those healthy ones must be educated just enough to be trainable in their new factory jobs. The sick, autistic, old, mentally unwell, are all just drains on profits as far as they are concerned.

I guarantee it all feeds upwards to a "master race" (with different words) approach, where the "weak" will be killed off and they'll be left with an ignorant, healthy, reduced population who can produce for the oligarchs and go get killed in war.

It's all they want.
