| FDA has failed. We’re going to need you start to look up Costco and Walmart or local organic cart body’s to regulate because the FDA can’t. |

| Surely has nothing to do with rolling back literal decades of safety regulations in 2 years. |

| It was fine for decades, I wonder what changed. Maybe the republicans did something stupid like putting a bunch of incompetent jackasses in charge. |

| ▲ | armitron 2 days ago | parent [-] | | It wasn't fine for decades. Both democrats and republicans allowed regulatory capture to take place. | | |
| ▲ | SaucyWrong 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Perhaps. But did democrats famously take a “chainsaw for ‘government waste’” to all major federal agencies? No. That was a handful of Republican edgelords. | |
| ▲ | solid_fuel 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Oh yes of course, both sides. That's why there were huge cyclospora outbreaks in 2022. Because of the Democrats. | |

| ▲ | solid_fuel a day ago | parent [-] | | These bootlicking cowards all play the same game. 6 years ago, none of these dipshits had any complaints about the FDA besides - maybe - that it was a bit slow approving new medications. Then Trump 2.0 comes along and puts the known fascist and all-around shit heal musk in charge of gutting the federal government. Now the FDA isn’t working, USAID is gone, FEMA is a disaster, we’re critically short of air traffic controllers, and on and on it goes but anytime someone points out the obvious damage that the republicans have done the legion of drooling racists comes around to babble about how actually the FDA was broken the whole time. It’s insulting to anyone with a memory that isn’t wholly owned by Rupert Murdoch. |

| Let's remember, though, not to fall into the trap of thinking that its current incompetence is intrinsic. |

| ▲ | han-tyumi 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Playbook: anti-regulation entities capture government, strip down regulators, and when disaster ensues, point to regulators' inability to prevent or address issues as an argument to further scale down the watchdog's power. | | |
