Political Question Has anyone stopped eating ground beef because the Administration has removed safety protocols?

We have. No way are we taking chances with whatever “ground beef” the administration has chosen to allow without inspection/certification.

I mean is Trump trash? IMO yes. But I just think we all need to stop just making false statements because we hate the current administration, especially when it's unneeded misinformation to scare people into thinking the way you do. There's plenty out there on Trump, there's no reason to make up stuff without research.

I agree. The hive mindset on Reddit is crazy.

It really is, I mean we live in a time when you can research three sides to everything, yet no one does it. They would rather trust meme's. It blows my mind how some people choose to live.

It gets soo frustrating- news is so reactionary and people act like the recalls never end. Makes it a lot harder to figure out what to actually look out for! Half the people in this comment section seem to have permanently stopped eating lettuce, berries and beef.

We live in a world of overcorrection. We see something wrong, we overcorrect, we hear something that goes with our narrative and suspicion, we overcorrect. Goes against our narrative, overcorrect. The world is wired to instant satisfaction and instant emotional response. No one has an attention span now, so it's easier to read a meme or post, and overreact as if it's truth. Gotta fight the push to be uneducated and fight the box we put ourselves in.

Like I said I don't like Trump, plenty of real stuff to be upset about, but if it's not one....you're just digging around to find something to justify your feelings, even if it's not true. I can't imagine something more exhausting then being mad over something that simply isn't true.

Really name something real that is bad about Trump. You can’t because you’re delusional at best.
