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.

To add to this - get a pack of cheap washcloths to dry your clean undercarriage and your toilet paper usage is near or realistically at zero. Take that, Big-TP!

Right on time for another Trump mandate, what could go wrong?

I would imagine that a large number of these people are enthusiastic supporters of the President-elect.
