      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.

      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.

    What’s interesting is that other then three minor places reporting in this. Not even a comment from the democratic party. Nothing in major news publications. Nothing on CNN that I can find. Nothing on AP or NPR. I’m questioning if this is even real.

      A lot of the time major publications won’t print something like this unless it can be verified. They are probably trying to get confirmation it is real.

    So, in other words, we will no longer be able to trust the USDA to safeguard our food supply and companies will be able to bastardize any and all foodstuffs without any kind of oversight whatsoever.
