Dumped Milk, Smashed Eggs, Plowed Vegetables: Food Waste of the Pandemic
In Wisconsin and Ohio, farmers are dumping thousands of gallons of fresh milk into lagoons and manure pits. An Idaho farmer has dug huge ditches to bury 1 million pounds of onions. And in South Florida, a region that supplies much of the Eastern half of the United States with produce, tractors are crisscrossing bean and cabbage fields, plowing perfectly ripe vegetables back into the soil.

I was hoping this day wouldn’t come. But it did. We’re now number one on all fronts. Over 2,000 dead over a 24hr span. 2 fucking thousand. Think about that. I feel like as the numbers grow we’re becoming desensitized to it all.
Without a doubt, we are truly fucked. And as our dumb fuck President continues to parade around like a fucking idiot each day, treating his addresses like a reality show how can it get any better? I think the numbers of up to 240k dead at the end of this are underestimated.
Fuck.

- Omg before trump made mention of it there was multiple cases of it having effects. But since so many variations and symptoms and existing conditionsdeathboy
- It's stupid to declare it a magic bullet. Which I don't believe he ever even said. But I trump derangement syndrome kicked in and tried to shut that down.deathboy
- Why? Than there was even the fake testing and all these latest miracle rushes that got shelved. Let's not take an option off the table because hate of trumpdeathboy
- Let's be as objective as possible. No trump makes bs statements all the time. But that's all politicians. Saw and an saying a vote for Biden will cure pandemicdeathboy
- What's more believable a drug or a vote for a old man? Which is more implausible and sound worse?deathboy
- The only difference is he doesn't try to allude or get clever about phrasing. He does talk more on twitter but that's what made media pick him in the first placdeathboy
