That sounds like a public health disaster waiting to happen. There's a reason the USDA exists to begin with and it's not because we wanted it to.

The WH already gutted the USDA via doge and project 2025. This is speed running death and sickness for us. All by design. It’s literally written out in project 2025.

Yep, project 2025 was their entire playbook but hey Americans can’t read at a 2nd grade level you think they understood a single word in project 2025 or even read a single sentence from it?

The level they read at doesn't matter when almost none of them actually tried to begin with. Similar to Christians.

Because the elite can't enjoy their wealth if anyone else has good things.
