Agricultural Research Service sent out a list of 110 terms that can no longer be used

Let me tell you a little story about The Fenhalloway River. About a year before I moved to that area as a kid in the early 80’s, some reporter came to report on it. Some locals assaulted her buy burning her with cigars and cigarettes, then pouring the river water into her burns.
I remember wandering some places with my step brother. One spot was along that river. The spot was out there, but still on a decently used dirt (sand) road. We got to the end and to an area we heard was a swimming hole. This was before we heard the river was badly polluted. It was littered with empty bullet casings, KKK signs and nazi symbols. We noped the fuck out of there quick.
While I lived there, at one point, the EPA provided everyone who wanted it with cases of bottled water. We lived close enough to see the sign over highway 19. A 30 second walk and I could just read it. Our well water stunk of the paper mill and you couldn’t see the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. The EPA water program lasted about a year. Then…nothing. The river wasn’t any cleaner. It was still black coffee. Still smelled of satan’s farts. I just now get the irony of living there and watching Captain Planet.
The mill shut down last year. It will probably take some time before the pollution from it will fade. Decades.
I didn’t know how gnarly paper mills were, that sucks
The entire town got filled with that sulfur smell a few times a day. When we first moved there, we were baffled about the smell. The locals all said; “smells like money.” Even the other kids in school. I never got accustomed to it. It’s a smell that will forever be stuck with me.
This has happened multiple times in the USA. There are so many Erin Brokovich type stories.
If something is causing so much environmental damage, do we need it?
Thankfully for that area, the plant closed last year. It wasn’t profitable anymore. Unfortunately, it and logging are really the only game in that town. They took 2 direct hits from hurricanes in fairly quick succession as well. Keaton beach, Fl is only about a 45 min drive from Perry. Some potato chip company was talking about moving there, but it remains to be seen. If I were them, I wouldn’t with the 2 direct hits. Too much risk.
My God I can’t ever comprehend how people can be so wrong
And like, a LOT of them too
At least when my dog hurts me they don’t try to convince me it’s for my own good too
I’m so glad that most imported products in my country are no longer made in the USA. I’m not even a strong believer in the effectiveness of consumer boycotts, this is just a health consideration at this point.
next we see Trump saying “Microplastics? I solved that too, it no longer exists folks. America is great!”
Where was this taken? Wondering who owns those photos.
This is some truly 1984 double speak bullshit
DOGE would make a good Ministry of Efficiency.
Pollution remediation banned terms runoff, membrane filtration, microplastics, water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, groundwater pollution, pollution remediation, pollution abatement, sediment remediation, contaminants of environmental concern, CEC, PFAS, PFOA, PCB, nonpoint source pollution
What a massive gift to the worst people
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.
You mean Newspeak, don’t you?
They could save a lot of ink by just saying the word pollution, but that’s not the point
Hard to believe there are still people willing to pose for a photo with Elon.
It just takes one brave soul with a hidden weapon to pose next to him, and we can be on a better timeline.
I imagine fellow nazis would be quite proud to.
Its woke to drink anything but pisswater.
Het its my favorite videogame tie -in beer!
Land of the free
Landfill of the free
At this point we already know they have “frontotemporal dementia,” so my question is at what point do we bar them from government positions because of known brain damage?
Maybe they already read the article, and that’s why they hate science, knowledge and free speach so much? I think it goes way deeper then that though.
Hopefully if we come out of this alive we’ll come together and finally do something about the things we already know, and I’m not talking final solution, I’m talking about banning people with known brain damage from office, then helping them with their known problems and possibly allowing them government positions again once recovered from this nazi disease.

Just putting this out there because these numbers give me hope that we still have a chance to move past this. Keep in mind that these are raw numbers that include everyone, including non-voters like children and felons. still makes me hopeful though.
Number of U.S. population 2025 = 347,276,000
Number of votes for Trump = 77,284,118
Number of people who didn’t vote for Trump = 269,991.882
This translates close to 22.2543793% of the U.S. population voted for Donald Trump.
This also translates close to 77.7456207% of the U.S. population didn’t vote for Donald Trump.
I was the one who did the calculations… sooo maybe check my work, it’s been a long time since I had to deal with percentages, I think it’s correct though.
Good luck, and stay safe out there.
If you want to work as a politician it should be required to take psychological evaluations. If you have narcissistic or psychopathic tendencies, you should be barred from that. I have no problems both a rule like that
While your point is valid in that a lot of people didn’t vote for Trump, you’re being slightly disingenuous here. Ok maybe that’s the wrong word since I don’t believe it’s malicious. But in my opinion the number of eligible voters, not the total number of US Residents is really what you should be comparing. And that number is more like 244,600,000. So while the number is still very high, it’s more like 68.4% didn’t vote for him.
I agree, those numbers are the complete population, (not only eligible voters) that’s why I added the statement “Keep in mind that these are raw numbers that include everyone, including non-voters like children and felons.”
In my lifetime I haven’t known many people that would be considered left leaning that vote, yet I’m pretty sure everyone I’ve known who are conservative vote every chance they get.
I should also point out that my view comes from someone who only ever lived in vary conservative areas in the south. Hopefully this election will finally get the left out to vote more.
Plus ineligible and disenfranchised voters still have a voice and they still matter, hopefully many of them will use their voice as protests are dramatically on the rise now that people are starting to take a financial hit.
So with my experience (which is subjective) the voting numbers definitely don’t represent the whole story because so many people don’t vote and many more can’t vote, so that is why the raw numbers give me some hope.
Also only ever lived in the Bible Belt although at least near more liberal universities. And you’re right, just because they can’t vote, doesn’t mean they aren’t affected.
And boy do I hope you’re right that this causes people to wake up.
Let’s replace them with “dirty water” “polluting plastics” and “preferred discrimination”.
Paper bags for everyone’s head! No more problems!
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.

Yeah, the EU is already pretty wary of US agriculture goods. This is going to absolutely murder the farming export business in the US.
So they can’t reference the Clean Water Act?
The Agua Limpia Acto?
That sounds like some diversity language to me.
🤣 si! I mean yes
