      Less regulations means reduced production costs for the oligarch corporate owners. So it is good for them and them only, as every single policy coming from the Trump administration.

        Yeah, except they have to eat the food produced in the U.S. too. You cant have everything imported all the time.

          But they have their chefs prepare and cook their foods, they can afford the clean version, they’re still protected from the consequences of their actions because of their money

    … what are we supposed to fucking do? I can stop eating meat but it’s not like I can stop eating altogether. Am I just going to get food poisoning a few times over the course of this nightmare administration? Do I have to wait 4 fucking years to enjoy eating without worrying about getting sick?

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

      Growing is half the battle. Then you have the critter and weeding mitigation to do. They make inside hydroponics areo grow but except for herbs will get really expensive for any usable quantity

              It’s written by a British Special Air Service (SAS) guy (John Wiseman) that covers emergency preparedness, urban survival, and wilderness survival.

              Tried and true methods. Probably one of the most condensed/complete for what we’re looking for.

              Pretty sure there’s an app with all of its info indexed. Just a few mb.

              Edit: nvm the app is no longer free. F that.

      He was big on massive deregulation in favour of the industry oligarchs in his previous administration as well. So this one was kinda easy to predict.
