yes because in our downtime from defending democracy we activists use a keyboard

even in our free time we still do not give up dreaming

alive and healthy does not include mental health

a lot of broken people are alive and healthy

typical Democrat response

but we talked and made plans to talk more and make more plans and we would do more but Republicans

apathetic but appear to be actively doing something about it while appearing to care when in reality your thumbs are so deep in shit the smell and the stains will never go away

don't have the exact numbers but in the United States we have lowered by a percent or so or more the allowable heavy metals and such because of polluted soil not naturally occurring ones and how it is impossible with current technology to remove such impurities

the cannabis industry in the US has stricter rules and allows fewer heavy metals than is allowed in the food we consume with more stringent testing being required by third party labs

lot of spices just like tobacco for example are grown in India where industry are able to pollute the soils more with less government oversight leading to fake vanilla extract which is done with green chemistry to be a cleaner product as is synthetic nicotine (this does not include Metatine which is not a synthetic but more a nicotine alternative replacement and is not safe or healthier)

heavy metals and pollutants in food is very much a ginormous issue with nothing being done except lowering the standards to match our current predicament just like we solve our other problems

agree about the natural levels in soil but that is not an issue as you stated but the concern is the high percentage that is allowed and is in there because of human activities

gotta keep lowering the bar so we stay ahead of the issues

(am in the industry too)

Fuck you Chris Van Hollen for making a trip just to get votes later and if that is not the case then why the fuck could not just have given a ride

Sure that private jet you flew in on had the space and bet your in flight meal is better than his gulag soup

Want to see a politician that really goes the extra fucking mile and stays the fuck there until they leave with him

Just a funding cash grab like all the other times with the excitement and fervor having died decades ago

also hard to take Democrats and Republicans seriously but the fact so many people do gives even less hope for the future

If Democrats were going to save us they would have had decades ago instead of fighting for segregation but that was not a big enough red flag

still not working with linux

all these apps do is squeeze warm bodies for all they have left

none of these companies pay minimum wages and companies are relying on this new exploitable underpaid workforce

all the apps that hire drivers pay low enough to were drivers are not able to fully afford vehicle payments/taxes, gas, food, housing, or anything except maybe a meal or two with enough gas to go back out and grind

the ais are designed to make the drivers earn under a certain amount and is very rigged

more worried about pollution, funding schools more, defunding police, universal healthcare, living wages, and protecting the environment in Maine and the whole United States

how do people give so much fucks about what is between a person's legs?

someone is protesting too much about the wrong things

Already not followed in the United States enough and if Trump goes through with this definitely be worse

Any drive through any US city that has any kind of construction going will show many OSHA violations

The food industry is also very slack already and anything other than what we have now would be just taking the pants and underwear off

Now on transportation might feel safer if say speed limits plus traffic laws were removed because as it stands now our current unenforced speed limits/traffic laws are a lethal combination of drivers doing whatever and drivers struggling to abide by traffic laws

With pay as low as it is and the cost of living so high mistakes are already piling very high on job sites everywhere and moral is lower than ever

down the shitter we go

Feels like a beta test running the first few laps that will go on to expand on colors plus job descriptions and whatever other minute details that would further this agenda

Fuck you Bernie and the rest of the Democrat puppets

Republican puppets are dismantling the country but Democrats are the do nothing party that allows the fascism to continue

bread and circuses

Had a family friend get this and have never forgot what was said

He said his ass was crusty and sored up with peeling skin and wiping sucked plus his hands were in the same shape along with his mouth and feet too

2025 is sucking really hard

both parties are too beholden to corporate interests to help normal citizens

our elections are a sham and there are a lot of disenfranchised voters that not allowed to vote here and the candidate that wins is always preselected

voters here take all the blame for the actions of our sold-out elections

we have before

Trump is not having original ideas but instead is using the same playbook Hitler got off the United States

Denzel movie used the steam pipes

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145681

The New York City steam system includes Con Edison's Steam Operations, a piped steam system which provides steam to large parts of Manhattan. Other smaller systems provide steam to New York University and Columbia University, and many individual buildings in New York City also have their own steam systems. The steam is used to heat and cool buildings and for cleaning and disinfecting. It is the largest such system in the world and has been in operation since 1882.
