The whole reason the FDA staff was slashed was money?

I mean it’s not like the private sector had any say in that. It was an authoritarian taking control of the executive branch to unprecedented lengths

The outbreak likely would have happened even without the cuts, the lettuce came from mexico

Even if there is a 100% chance of it happening it would have been caught a helluva lot sooner if we hadn’t slashed the FDA. It most certainly would not have become as large of an issue as it has

Yall don’t downvote this is a learning moment. The CDC is in charge of outbreaks including this. The CDC is under oversight by the HHS and RFK Jr. regulations are imposed on producers to protect consumer health. When you have people like RFK who operate with incentives, regulations are lifted, and companies can cut costs by cutting contamination protections, leading to outbreaks like this. Cutting the quality of life of consumers to make slightly more money than before. Did this make sense?

Capitalism is when money and government are intertwined like, idk, the past century or so

Where are you getting the definition for this lol? Even under a totally socialist system you would still have money. Just saying it’s related to money doesn’t mean it capitalism, unless we’re defining capitalism in a super wacky way.

Capitalism is usually when there’s primarily private ownership of capital and voluntary exchange etc. it’s not when money is in politics.
