It’s interesting because the Trump administration, first term, went out of their way to deregulate the FDA and regress the safety regulation around the meat industry which is a reason why we have been getting recalls recently.

This seems like we are heading into a perfect storm.

Collapse

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
