[Definitive Ranking] Making America Sick Again We’re coming to the end of a summer of food safety crises. As an Aug. 20 New Republic piece flagged, in just one week, “the FDA has discovered salmonella in granola, salad dressing, jalapenos, and animal food; glass in fruit popsicles; and metal in sourdough,” recalling 12 products —…

Public health failures? It’s seems like it’s going as planned. Poisoned food? Who can afford to eat anyway?

My Canadian bona fides? I grew up in Ann Arbor, about 60 minutes from the border. We also got CBC, so I saw a lot of Benny Hill and curling.
I have Canadian bona fides, they come from being married to a Canadian and from having grown up in Vermont, 45 minutes from the Canadian border.

A Dutch addiction and mental health institute that tests pills for users to prevent overdoses issued a “Red Alert” for “ecstasy” pills shaped like President Donald Trump’s head. The pills are actually not even ecstasy—they contain a chemical called para-methoxymethamfetamine, or PMMA for short, while ecstasy’s active ingredient is MDMA. PMMA takes longer, which the institute said could cause people to double up, thinking it didn’t work. That potential mistake would lead to overheating or even death, according to an Instagram post by the Trimbos Institute. Ecstasy is illegal in the Netherlands, but that doesn’t stop club and music festival-goers. Although a 2024 government report said 550,000 people took the drug in one year, there have been no PMMA-related deaths so far.

There were Dirmaiers living in Essex Junction, about 10 miles from where I live, some years back. Maybe part of the same family?
You did this R voters. You kept putting criminals and psychopaths into office until we don’t have a single adult or morally upright person remaining in govt. Carney is now the leader of the free world.
You have an easy choice in November if you want this carnival ride to stop. You put us here, what are you going to do about it now?

It seems to me that Southern Republican politicians have been trying to force their constituents back to the days of the robber barons for many years - subsistence wages, no health care, substandard public services, voter suppression. The people have consistently voted for them even as the politicians insist that the government has no role to play in making their lives better. Until the people decide that they want their politicians and the government to do something for them, nothing will change. In the meantime, Art Pope and the other rich, white men in the south will continue smiling all the way to the bank.
