Gutter oil is still a thing.

And lots of Chinese still buy and resell baby formula from other countries because they do not trust Chinese formula.


edit : don't worry! we just cut back on a ton of water regulations today! FOR THE FARMERS!!!

:wtc:

It's a big thing in Australia where they've limited baby formula sales to like two big cans per person.

I look at the scandals where Chinese baby formula had melamine in it and think "man let 'em buy our formula, we'll be fine, their babies are dying"

Ever have a deep fryer at home or use one at a job long enough to notice how the oil darkens and ages and needs to be replaced with use?

The PCB oil in large electrical transformers stays fresh for a really, really long time if you cook with it.

So that's fueling a black market, paricularly in east africa, that presents the triple threat of scorching high-volt arc flash death to the thieves collecting it, turbocancer for the unwitting diners, and willful destruction of critical infrastructure.

What's happening in China is the same thing that happened to the US when we switched to canning, where food industry grew a lot faster than bureaucracy and regulation can keep up. They didn't need regulation that long ago because they were likely buying local.

On the flip side what's happening in the US where we "CUT THE BUDGET" and "ELIMINATE JOB KILLING REGULATIONS" so that meat packing plants are inspecting themselves and just reporting a pinky-swear to the oversight agencies that they're "totally clean, honest" isn't exactly stellar.

The reporting is pretty scarce on this. I think I found a site reporting on it but it was some weird Christian site so their take on the whole thing was porn is bad because it makes people kidnap children to produce porn and, more importantly, give them abortions.

quote:

The Trump administration on Thursday finalized a rule that significantly reduces the federal government’s role in regulating waterways, fulfilling a campaign promise to farmers and energy interests and handing a win to conservatives who have pushed for changes to the Clean Water Act regulations.

The rule, which redefines what constitutes “waters of the United States,” revises decades-old standards for regulating waterways, a move environmentalists warn will lead to pollution of water that wildlife and people depend on, especially in low-income areas and communities of color. Several current and former EPA and Army Corps of Engineers employees and scientific advisers oppose the move, charging that political appointees blocked the use of scientific information in writing the rule.

It'd probably be easier on everyone's nerves to just keep track of this site on CDC.gov.

IIRC, though, people aren't wrong to compare the coverage to how things went with SARS in 2003. We'll be seeing a lot of terrifying headlines/Twitter posts from here on out, so I think I'll stick to basic-rear end sites like CDC/WHO for any updates on what's going on. It's dry as hell, which is precisely how I prefer my GLOBAL PANDEMIC news to be served.

It's not exactly a comforting thought to trust the chinese authorities, but when it becomes a serious issue here in the states, yes the CDC is a preferred source.

When the CDC starts lying to us, we're hosed. And this is still the Trump adminstrations' CDC. So basically, we're already dead.

Warning Intelligence Update: Iran Increases Pressure on U.S. Forces in Iraq

By Katherine Lawlor with Brandon Wallace

Key Takeaway: Iran is organizing a new effort to increase political and military pressure against U.S. forces in an effort to compel an American withdrawal from Iraq. Iran’s proxy militia groups are working with Iraqi nationalist Shi’a cleric Moqtada al-Sadr to organize a “million strong march” on January 24 to oppose the U.S. troop presence in Iraq. Sadr’s support lends additional credibility to the march and may enable Iran’s proxies to generate a more significant protest than they otherwise would be able to achieve. Iran is also attempting to coalesce its lethal Iraqi proxy militias, and potentially Sadr, into a more unified military force to target U.S. forces in the region. Iran faces some obstacles in doing so, but the formation of an anti-U.S. Iraqi resistance front poses a significant threat, even in its preliminary stages of organization.
