The incoming U.S. President is expected to get rid of the FDA so a lot more of us can brush our teeth with contaminated water, since they also plan to get rid of the EPA.
But gas will be “cheaper” when everyone’s sick so, libs owned.
Tom's of Maine toothpaste made with bacteria-contaminated water, says FDA - ABC News:

Tom's got bought out by a large corporation at some point i think
why yes, yes it was
'Tom's of Maine has been a majority-owned subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive since 2006.'
@samiamsam Yes, true. Good point lest anyone think it’s still an independent brand. Big corporations don’t have your best interests in mind, and that becomes more dangerous to consumers with less oversight.
Few to no inspections. And then the 1% will be the only ones who can buy non-contaminated toothpaste. Whee.

For everyone who extols the virtues of “small government” we have example after example of instances like this. It would be great if these corporations could be trusted to protect the consumers, but time after time they fail to do so. THAT is why we need regulation.
It will be a miracle if we don’t have a string of product safety failures over the next 4 years.
I can’t even.

This is what I can't understand at all from the republicans who've embraced the madness. They constantly complain about "small government" and getting their hands off our stuff.
But more and more over the years it doesn't occur to them that while they say "small government", in the same sentence they praise actions that would put the government in our bedrooms, workplaces, etc. far more than at any time in history.
It occurred to me that they want "small government" for THEMSELVES because they think they are "the good ones" and everyone else deserves to be surveilled, taxed, and ridiculed to kingdom come.
The real trouble comes when all the opposition has been "dealt with" one way or another... the violence is a perpetual hate machine and will need a new target eventually... like the ones who were already on its side. Happened to every regime in history that wasn't taken down by external forces first.
But they won't learn that. Not in time.
