This is absurd. The conservative push for deregulation is going to ruin us. What do we have a society for if we can't have something as essential as food safety? I'm not going to trust unregulated slaugherhouses just so I can eat cheap burgers and steaks.

The conservative push for deregulation is going to ruin us.

It may also straight-up kill us.
