Where is Trump expecting to get his food from? Where does he think McDonald's food comes from?

The rich are always insulated.

McDonald's quality control is actually pretty tight. Other than the onion issue recently it's been some time since their last outbreak. They are one of the few companies that could afford cti test every single product coming in if the FDA stopped all testing and the hit to profits of an outbreak is big enough to justify the testing.

It's your mom and pops that are the real risk. And Trump doesn't eat at those.

The fuck is that supposed to do? Create sick people who end up buried in debt they can't pay which keeps them downtrodden and unable to stand up and fight against a fascist regime? Huh, now that I said it...

But that is giving these twats too much credit. They aren't smart enough to think that far ahead. I'm guessing they just want to keep the funds that goes to those tests for themselves. Not like they care what happens to the population.

Privatize testing. And only let rich white people buy access to the tested milk?

And/or anything to get the liberals to scream.
