Trump administration cuts reach FDA employees in food safety, medical devices and tobacco products

Yeah why have people inspect food, medicine, and medical devices when you can replace them with question mark?

I thought RFK Jr. was going to improve food safety? I guess not.

Good.

There is an interesting unintended consequence of all this damage to the American federal government. The political right in Europe has been happy to align itself with Trump, but these government services are not politicised in Europe and the majority of non-aligned voters, non-voters and even many on the political right wing would not want to see this sort of damage in their own country. As a result, right-wing European politicians aligning themselves with Trump and Musk stand to lose support as the co-Presidents hammer away at the basic operations of the US government.

The economic hit of Brexit stopped other EU members from embracing it for their countries. The debasing of government and civic society now taking place in the US should damage or reverse the rising popularity of the European right wing. Europeans are unlikely to want to see their own nations hollowed out in this way.

Good.

So you think it is good that food, medicine, and medical devices go uninspected? Perhaps read a summary of this book:

This will definitely and provably lead to actual deaths of Americans citizens... and the MAGA crowd is cheering. You really have to wonder what type of moral values these people espouse.

Good.

Bass, what is 'good' about someone not checking if the drugs or food you or your family consume, isn't likely to harm, or even kill you?

You don't care what goes in your food?

Or is the FDA mpeding your freedom to irreversibly damage your health?

RFK Jr.will start to do that and his team

You don't care what goes in your food?

Absolutely, that’s why I was for RFK Jr. wait now, he just got confirmed he’ll start soon enough and let’s see before jumping off roof tops.

Or is the FDA mpeding your freedom to irreversibly damage your health?

I don’t think they have been transparent as they should have been.

MAGA = MAHA - Making America Hospitalized Again...

And the ironic thing is most of those who will be hospitalized will be the poor MAGA folks - who because of Trump won't have any health insurance either...

Trump not only fleeces them of their money, now he helps put them on their graves....and they still love him...

No better example of a cult...

You think RFK is going to personally test all of the food, drugs, and devices?

This is an example of the group of Musk/MAGA idiots taking our government apart....

The NNSA is a little-known group charged with building, designing, and organizing the US Nuclear arsenal — at one time the largest in the world, now said to be a close second to Russia. It's the kind of agency you hope not to read about in the news.

The whole "nuclear" part evidently wasn't enough to deter Musk and his DOGE boys from sending between 300 and 400 nuclear arms personnel to the bread line in a confusing flurry of termination emails on Wednesday.

As reported by multiple outlets in the wake of the firings, it turned out that the officials overseeing the dismissals didn't understand that the sacked workers were responsible for overseeing nuclear weapons — leading them to turn around and beg some of the now-fired workers to come back.

Complete and utter idiots....

Those 2 trillion dollars in tax cuts for America’s richest 1% have to come from somewhere.

The FDA? Why not?!

RFK Jr.will start to do that and his team

He is going in the opposite direction, not doing anything in comparison would be better, so objectively the cuts are the opposite of good.

Absolutely, that’s why I was for RFK Jr.

You mean the guy that made a business from fear mongering fluoride in tap water in order to sell bottled water... with higher concentration of fluoride than tap water? If anything he is already doing his best to decrease the safety of anything under his charge.

I don’t think they have been transparent as they should have been.

Which does nothing to simply firing the people in charge of doing the job, no information is the maximum amount of opacity you can get.
