food.
Hey ... weeds out the weak, right ? :-)
Over the past several years, the incidences of contaminated
food - usually by bacteria but occasionally by industrial
chems/cleaners/oils - seem to have increased significantly.
It is now rare to see a week go by without national-scale
warnings about SOMETHING you're eating.
COVID may have had something to do with that. It disrupted
previously well-tuned smooth-running systems and procedures
either directly or by shifting economics to favor spending
less on quality control. I 'perceive' that a "Who gives
a shit anymore ?" attitude has become more prevalent at
every level too. Gen-Z leads there, but it just seems to
go deeper and broader.
You seem to forget Trump has only been POTUS again since
Jan-20 ... MOST of the uptick in problems was under Joe.
Some will want to blame 'wet-back workers', but that just
doesn't seem to cover it, looking for convenient scapegoats.
To borrow from Carter - or maybe confirm him - a 'malaise'
seems to be growing.
While I don't claim to be an expert, I'm gonna say it was
not orgies that brought down Rome. Half was the fatal
economic flaw in empires ... the investment/return
equation goes all sour soon enough. The other half though
seemed to be the "Who gives a shit anymore ?" malaise.
The leaders and bureaucracy got sloppier and sloppier,
focus and clarity diminished, the whole System went
rotten from the inside out. A consequence of past
success perhaps - we've got it made so why try so hard
anymore ?
The UK has gone completely to shit and similar factors
seem to have been involved. The USA is not immune,
indeed bigger may translate into falling faster and
further.
We can hire more FDA inspectors, fund more inspections,
be harder on those who fail - but will THEY even really
give a shit ? THE Problem may be a PEOPLE PROBLEM,
not so much 'procedural'.
Isn't that how Senator KennedyNot Senator Ted Kennedy — his idiotic incompetent vaccines-cause-autism nephew
got his brainworm thing?
