are there any books about like the farming and dairy industry in America and how its like the weirdest cartel with all sorts of bizarre government kickbacks and legislation?

maybe attached to this, I've been looking for a critical history of the FDA. There was a pretty good chunk about it in Gerald Posner's book "Pharma" but it just led up to antibiotics and I'd like to read more if it's out there

dairy products are produced via rape and murder. where do you think milk comes from? the cow produces milk for its calf. we murder the calf and take the milk. don't be surprised that the system of capital treats YOU the same way as the system of rape and murder called factory dairy farms treats its chattel. consuming dairy is inhumane and incompatible with being a leftist, aside from niche family farm cases, which for the most part no longer exist in the united states.

that tweet thread is a fascinating glimpse into the mindset of the people whose job it is to make you participate more often in the factory farm dairy system, but make no mistake, in this system you are the consumer, and you validate and endorse the system with participation in it. In the larger system of the united states, you are the cow.

no matter how delicious and awesome string cheese is, it's not a good idea to eat an entire package of them in the space of an hour. not if you want to poo poo during the following 3 to 4 days, anyways

Whenever I hear that the Dems are running an "army veteran" for Congress, I just know that it's not some grunt who did one tour in Iraq or something. It's always a CIA/NatSec/Military Intelligence/Defense contractor/lobbyist, because that's who the party is pushing as their youth movement. So I googled this dude, and.... yup!

https://newrepublic.com/article/162900/marcus-flowers-marjorie-greene-military-contractor

quote:

The congressional candidate has been a cipher by design, speaking in vague terms about his work experiences and personal life. “Not Blackwater” is a favored response when his military contracting is brought up. As for the scope of his duties, the words “logistics” and “procurement” were tossed around in a previous interview with The New Republic. But where has he been over the last 20 years? What did he do? Hard to say, though he did check in in Baghdad on Facebook on December 13, 2003. (Facebook wasn’t introduced until 2004, meaning Flowers applied the check-in retroactively.)

Additional research and reporting has allowed The New Republic to uncover more about Flowers’s past, including the names of his previous employers, and details about his tumultuous marriage to his ex-wife, a Russian national named Svetlana Chudinova whom he met in Afghanistan....

quote:

According to a work history found online and later confirmed by his campaign, Flowers worked for DynCorp, a massive defense contractor that, last year, was purchased by a company called Amentum. He also worked at lesser-known contractors like the Research Triangle Institute and Parsons I&T. (A representative from Amentum refused to comment on whether Flowers ever worked for DynCorp.)

In the 2000s, Flowers ran his own small firm called Total Logistics Services, or Total Logistics, Inc. Registered in New Orleans and Alabama, the business appears to be defunct. It earned tens of thousands in contracts during the George W. Bush years, largely for translation services performed in Romania. Total Logistics Services was also required to pay back thousands of dollars to the Army, for reasons that are unclear in the available online contracting data....

quote:

Only after repeated requests did his campaign offer this statement about his work experience: “I spent several years working in logistics and procurement in combat zones. That included mentoring and training the Iraqi and Afghan National Army in how to safely move and account for equipment, people, and materials. That included at one point meeting with Afghan warlords to negotiate safe passage of critical infrastructure through territories under their control. It was an honor to be a small part of helping these brave Afghani’s and Iraqi’s [sic] stand up their new governments.”
The stuff about how he treated his ex-wife, and manipulated her to get custody of their child, is pretty drat gross. For example:

quote:

On July 5, Flowers told Chudinova to accompany him to Walmart. Chudinova, who was not a U.S. citizen and had struggled to adjust to life in this country, took nothing with her. Instead of Walmart, they arrived at a homeless shelter, where Flowers told her to get out of the car. She refused; Flowers called the police. Eventually, Chudinova left the car and went into the shelter, the City Rescue Mission.
There's more but anyway, gently caress this guy. Hope he gets destroyed by MTG.

hey you know why would a contractor for the CIA be doing work in Romania during the Bush administration?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright_Light_(CIA)

quote:

Bright Light is the codename of one of the Central Intelligence Agency's network of black sites—clandestine interrogation centers.[1][2][3] The location of the site, in Bucharest, Romania, was confirmed in an exclusive report from the Associated Press on December 8, 2011.[4]

Some of the most important captives in the high value detainee program, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11 attacks, were held there. Other sites in the CIA's network were in isolated locations.[1][5] The Bucharest site was housed within the campus of the Romanian National Registry Office for Classified Information, explaining the need for high security.

The cells the captive were held in were mounted on springs, to keep the captives off balance.[1] According to ABC News captives were subjected to "enhanced interrogation techniques" in the Bucharest site, but were not subjected to the controversial technique of waterboarding.[4]

HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN ROMANIA

"Human trafficking is a highly profitable business and on the rise in Romania. Human trafficking is a complex phenomenon and a few factors might explain why it is so prevalent in Romania including poverty, corruption, social inequality, uneven development, harmful traditional and cultural practices. For example, Romania has a shame-based culture so victims often find it difficult to return home. Additionally, Romania suffers from civil unrest and a lack of political will to end human trafficking in Romania."

Are you talking about all cheese sold in America, or American "cheese"? Because pasteurised process cheese is terrible and lacks all of the addictive joy of actual cheese.
