So Chipotles has e-coli in their restaurants-one damn good example why importing foods from other

countries is asking for it. In my youth no food was allowed to be sold in the US without a label stating where it came from, but no in the name of the god of profit we take chances of being made ill because the international trade that profits those with money. Will American business learn maybe those shortcuts might eventually destroy their business along with lives of others? But then who cares as long as business profits? The American middle and lower classes are test animals (the cons want to throw the government out with the bathwater (the only entity strong enough to put a stop to harming the general public. When is the general public going to get enough of this and put the brakes on power and money? How much human misery must be until you the general public start getting smart?

America foods. American agri-business is quite capable of being shoddy about health and sanitation. Making this a xenophobic issue misses the point.

Wait...are the invaders called T Rump or E Coli? I get them confused with all the different viruses and bacteria plotting on our ass far away on moon rocks.

That is right folks, they live on moon rocks in pockets in the sun. Fuckers are hardy.

I saw a video about it on Youtube.
