Agricultural Research Service sent out a list of 110 terms that can no longer be used
It is long past overdue for torches and pitchforks.
The protests start tomorrow. Big one is somehow 4/20(we live in a TV show). The only ones I can see them swaying are congress though so I guess we’re all in on the House and Senate caving to protestors and a rapidly cratering economy… We’re going to need a general strike.
Start tomorrow? They’ve been every damn day for months now. Tomorrow is a big one.
It’s time to break out the guillotines.
Yeah, death to progress, bring back the dark ages! 😂
Edit: Why the downvotes, I meant it sarcastically!! Hence the “😂”
I guess it wasn’t obvious.Actually I feel you, like despite others disagreeing (apparently). We’ve got better tools for this job.
Like what? Do you think the current leadership listens to reason?
Pollution remediation banned terms runoff, membrane filtration, microplastics, water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, groundwater pollution, pollution remediation, pollution abatement, sediment remediation, contaminants of environmental concern, CEC, PFAS, PFOA, PCB, nonpoint source pollution
What a massive gift to the worst people
I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are
Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.
You mean Newspeak, don’t you?
They could save a lot of ink by just saying the word pollution, but that’s not the point
Let me tell you a little story about The Fenhalloway River. About a year before I moved to that area as a kid in the early 80’s, some reporter came to report on it. Some locals assaulted her buy burning her with cigars and cigarettes, then pouring the river water into her burns.
I remember wandering some places with my step brother. One spot was along that river. The spot was out there, but still on a decently used dirt (sand) road. We got to the end and to an area we heard was a swimming hole. This was before we heard the river was badly polluted. It was littered with empty bullet casings, KKK signs and nazi symbols. We noped the fuck out of there quick.
While I lived there, at one point, the EPA provided everyone who wanted it with cases of bottled water. We lived close enough to see the sign over highway 19. A 30 second walk and I could just read it. Our well water stunk of the paper mill and you couldn’t see the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. The EPA water program lasted about a year. Then…nothing. The river wasn’t any cleaner. It was still black coffee. Still smelled of satan’s farts. I just now get the irony of living there and watching Captain Planet.
The mill shut down last year. It will probably take some time before the pollution from it will fade. Decades.
This has happened multiple times in the USA. There are so many Erin Brokovich type stories.
If something is causing so much environmental damage, do we need it?
Thankfully for that area, the plant closed last year. It wasn’t profitable anymore. Unfortunately, it and logging are really the only game in that town. They took 2 direct hits from hurricanes in fairly quick succession as well. Keaton beach, Fl is only about a 45 min drive from Perry. Some potato chip company was talking about moving there, but it remains to be seen. If I were them, I wouldn’t with the 2 direct hits. Too much risk.
I didn’t know how gnarly paper mills were, that sucks
The entire town got filled with that sulfur smell a few times a day. When we first moved there, we were baffled about the smell. The locals all said; “smells like money.” Even the other kids in school. I never got accustomed to it. It’s a smell that will forever be stuck with me.
My God I can’t ever comprehend how people can be so wrong
And like, a LOT of them too
At least when my dog hurts me they don’t try to convince me it’s for my own good too
To be fair though the Democrats tried to stop dumb shitheads from pushing horse paste on Twitter during a pandemic, so no one’s blameless in the censorship game.
(Please don’t make me reply clarifying the intent of this statement.)
Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like “/s” that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they’re needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?
I don’t know why because I’ve never done it before today, but as I was about to post that I imagined someone taking it seriously and I was not in the mood to deal with that today so I cut it off proactively. And I’ve never liked /s.
chill
Free speech still has limits and distributing false medical information should be restricted.
Is that fair? One follows scientific consensus and the other defies it.
taps the sign
This is some truly 1984 double speak bullshit
DOGE would make a good Ministry of Efficiency.
Let’s replace them with “dirty water” “polluting plastics” and “preferred discrimination”.
TIL that clean water is “woke”
I better not see any anti-woke types drinking clean water!
Only coca-cola™ will be allowed for drinking, and Gatorade to water the plants of course (it’s got what plants crave).
Freedom water. Wish I was kidding. $21 for a 12 pack.
Freedom isn’t cheap but if it’s anything I’ve learned from Trump supporters is it is worth it for the brown people
I mean to say, against the brown people, in case the racism wasn’t coming across clearly enough
Imagine being opposed to clean water. Death cultists, one and all.
Paper bags for everyone’s head! No more problems!
So they can’t reference the Clean Water Act?
The Agua Limpia Acto?
That sounds like some diversity language to me.
🤣 si! I mean yes
We are so fucked.
I never in my lifetime thought this country could turn such a complete 180 in such a short period of time and yet here we are.
Step 1 prevent agency from doing it’s job
Step 2 shriek about how agency does nothing and must be dismantled
Gonna make it hard to talk about home REDACTED loans
Oh, but that’s ok, because you can always REDACTED using the REDACTED by speaking the REDACTED. That’s the best way to REDACTED REDACTED the REDACTED.
All I hear is the Nutshack theme
Oh man… i just completed my home microplastic loan application.
Fuck these guys, what time is the white house raid?
