According to the CDC, that outbreak has now sickened at least 345 people as of August 10. Worse, 36 of those individuals have required hospitalization.

      Free market folks love to crow about the invisible hand and market corrections (and they’re not completely wrong). They just forget that, in the real world, “market correction” often looks like people dying.

      I just skip any produce that has “Produced in USA” on the sign. I mean, I was already doing that, though now I might also avoid touching it and skip produce that is right next to anything with “Produced in USA”.

      In English it’s allowed to say “twenty twenty-six”. Is it allowed in Spanish to refer to years as “veinte veinte y seis”?

    This article feels like fucking propaganda, with how much they avoided saying the source of the outbreak: Taylor Farms

    They mention a dozen stores and restaurants, but wait many paragraphs before mentioning Taylor Farms, which they call Taylor Fresh Foods, which us a subsidiary

      They mention the other stores and restaurants because people know where they shop and eat, not what company produces the food they eat. Not everything is a conspiracy.

      Also Taylor Fresh Foods Inc. does business as Taylor Farms. It’s the same company.
