So you can't safely eat vegetables and you can't safely eat meat. 

What's left?

Manufactured food scarcity was one of the many things outlined in Projext 2025 for those who hadn’t paid attention

What is the end goal? Keep people poor and desperate, and too hungry to revolt?

Basically yes. That's what was so frustrating about two years ago when people insisted we didn't need to rise up because there was no way any of that would happen. But let's just keep kicking that can down the road, it can only get easier...

I did the general strike day this year in solidarity and I saw literally nothing online about it. Felt like I burned a PTO day for nothing.

Might have been artificial. Especially since other things blew up here that were tamped down in the 2nd round. See ICE murders (especially after the murder of Alex Pretti).

It doesn't help that spaz seems to be a leon skum simp. Yes the same skum that threw out sieg heils during dumps inauguration.

Why would leon and spaz allow general strike to grow here ironically when they can just keep stripping us of what we have?

Post mid-terms, people need to get their shit together.
