ETA: this is only meant to name and shame a big offender, but all large corpos benefit from the disgusting deregulation rampant here in the United Shits of America :’)
What is it with right-wing populists and being undone by lettuces? Liz Truss in Britain is now synonymous with the lettuce, and she had a simillarly laxative effect on the economy.
Conspiracy theory since the BLM is selling rounded up wild horses to buyers and then those buyers are suspected of selling to slaughter houses. Meanwhile the administration is waiving tariffs to import lean meat trimmings without specifying the source countries. The theory is those two things are directly linked.
They're classified as an 'amenable species' which basically just means that they're kind of exotic but close enough to more commonly eaten animals that they should follow the same standards for safe processing and consumption and be subject to the same inspections. With that though, there isn't anywhere left that could actually process them to that standard.
It's also generically illegal in several states due to individual state laws.
But the Trump administration has found a loophole: if they capture them and sell them to a foreign entity alive, that foreign entity can legally butcher them.
It's darkly funny because those horses are a invasive species that only have federal protections because conservatives like to pretend to be cowboys.
Is that a reference to something? I feel like some comedy bit featured someone saying "that makes me want a hotdog real bad". Maybe a false memory on my part.
The government can spend more than $3,000 to capture a mustang and bring it to market, but sells each for as little as $25. A horse can fetch up to $750 at a slaughter plant. The potential for profit keeps buyers coming.

Don't forget the diarrhea lettuce

The Taylor Farms diarrhea lettuce and diarrhea jalapeño peppers, specifically. The same Taylor Farms that donated to a Trump-aligned super PAC six days before the announced delay of food safety regulations.

The only thing inaccurate about this meme is the dude's expression of discontent.
Republicans, especially maga, would enthusiastically let Trump shit in their mouth if it meant a 'librul' would have to smell it.
They are happy to fall on the sword so long as it causes harm to some out-group. They love that shit.

kandoh@reddthat.com · 12 pts · 1d
There are protected wild horses on federal land.
It's illegal to hunt them or kill them for meat.
But the Trump administration has found a loophole: if they capture them and sell them to a foreign entity alive, that foreign entity can legally butcher them.
It's darkly funny because those horses are a invasive species that only have federal protections because conservatives like to pretend to be cowboys.
