There’s a stew of factors at work behind the rise in consumer rage – but there are potential solutions, too

The embedded graph tells a lot: 4584 jobs lost at the FDA 4140 jobs lost at the EPA 1104 jobs lost at the Food Safety and Inspection Service 598 jobs lost at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau And that ghoul Russell Vought is overseeing this catastrophe. It's pretty simple to do the math: wreck farms so that billionaires can snap them up for pennies on the dollar; kill off the sick, the weak and the elderly; and combine all of this with Project 2025's grotesquerie that aims to kill the rights of pretty much everyone that isn't a cis white maie. And guess what? I'm a cis white male... so you'd think I'd stay silent and roll in the slop. Just makes me grateful that I'm Canadian, and really sad for everyone that didn't vote for Cheeto Jesus. Every Republican politician who didn't vote to stop any of this is culpable. Fuck them all.
