Agricultural Research Service sent out a list of 110 terms that can no longer be used
I never in my lifetime thought this country could turn such a complete 180 in such a short period of time and yet here we are.
Microplastics are woke? Fellas, is accumulating microplastics in your balls gay?
Getting rid of microplastics is gay, retention is alpha
Gonna make it hard to talk about home REDACTED loans
Oh, but that’s ok, because you can always REDACTED using the REDACTED by speaking the REDACTED. That’s the best way to REDACTED REDACTED the REDACTED.
All I hear is the Nutshack theme
Oh man… i just completed my home microplastic loan application.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Imagine being opposed to clean water. Death cultists, one and all.
This is some truly 1984 double speak bullshit
DOGE would make a good Ministry of Efficiency.

Is that fair? One follows scientific consensus and the other defies it.

Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like “/s” that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they’re needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?

Free speech still has limits and distributing false medical information should be restricted.
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
If nothing else, their sheer inability to understand reality would make it much easier to put Dogey America to sleep. Animals use language, however primitive, to warn of danger. Trumpkins fundamentally fails at this, and will start to die in record numbers when they eat RFK Burgers with rat diarrhea as the sauce.
Not even sure if I am kidding there. They are tearing down the institutions that protect everyone from everything.
Ok I had to do this. This quote is too awesome.
Hard to believe there are still people willing to pose for a photo with Elon.
I imagine fellow nazis would be quite proud to.
It just takes one brave soul with a hidden weapon to pose next to him, and we can be on a better timeline.
Its woke to drink anything but pisswater.
Het its my favorite videogame tie -in beer!
