I worked on these regulations in the Biden Admin. There’s a reason we didn’t do this.
The problem was that the biggest packers were deregulated so they could cut corners with cheaper unsafe practices. And their scale crushed the safer, better, smaller packers. Big packers can functionally not inspect meat, but smaller packers still had to. But farmers and ranchers had to still go to them because they had all the bargaining power. You just can’t get your livestock to market without them, not at scale anyway.
The solution is to break up the big packers, stop letting them abuse their bargaining power over farmers, make them play by the same safety rules, and stop making us sick.
This version is useless. It’s like trying to fight Walmart with farmers markets that have broken glass in the peaches.
This newly released video, captured more than 50 km downstream from the site of the glacier collapse, shows the rapid arrival of the flood wave, obliterating everything in its wake.
@JakeEisenberg_@anne__rogers Good read, thanks! FYI: The OBP listed here is wrong: "The outfielder is slashing .274/.376/.486 with 22 home runs this season..."
Great story by @anne__rogers on Jac Caglianone's evolution this season & emergence into a premier power threat, in part thanks to advice from hitting coach Marcus Thames.

Connor Hellebuyck breaks his silence, confirming what we've long understood.
To make this statement with training camp approaching puts his attendance in doubt, to be sure.
The scale of the disaster in the Himalayas is becoming clearer after catastrophic flooding tore through parts of Nepal and Tibet.
Scientists now believe the disaster was likely triggered by the collapse of a glacier high in the mountains, unleashing a torrent of water, mud and debris that swept away entire communities.
@GeoffRBennett has more.
One day, your home will be empty, and someone will have to decide what to do with your things. They'll open your drawers. They'll find the watch you treasured so much, the car you spent three years paying off, and the clothes you saved for special occasions because you didn't want to wear them out. And they'll make three piles: what to sell, what to give away, and what to throw away. None of it goes with you. Not a single thing. The only thing that goes with you is that afternoon you stayed talking for hours and didn't even realize where the time went. The look on your mom's face when you showed up to visit her without telling her you were coming. Don't collect things... Collect moments with the people you love
I wonder why glaciers are suddenly collapsing. If only we had decades upon decades of verifiable research that could have predicted this exact scenario and showed us ways to prevent this from ever happening. If only.
Your grandparents bought a house on one income.
Your parents needed two.
You need two incomes, a side hustle, and a 7% mortgage, for a smaller house, further from work.
Inflation has destroyed America.
Private equity is seeking out every single thing that people can actually afford and actively working to make it so that we’re all paying literally as much as we can.
What the states did today for kids exploited by Meta was the result of years of incredible work at State Attorney Generals offices, staring down cavalries of lawyers, outstaffed hundreds to one, outspent hundreds to one.
Thank God for State AGs. This settlement will have such a profound impact on the wellbeing of kids. Its a beginning, sure, but a heroic one.
Visitors to Seattle are often amazed by the excellence of the bus system and especially the high quality of transit priority. Most people "have very little idea how this happened."
Well, here's how it happened. 1/
At least one in four NFL players has CTE when they die, according to a new study that examined the brains of former pro football players.
CTE is a brain disease thought to be caused by years of sustained head trauma and can only be diagnosed after an autopsy of the brain.
@RealAmnaNawaz speaks to @ChrisNowinski1, a co-author of the study, for more.
The WNYC series on Dolly was divine. The premise basically being that she was the last institution that everyone agreed to love. And the irony being that she was not universally beloved once upon a time. I would encourage those who haven't listened to it to do so
