One of the most famous books on the dangers of food poisoning and the unsanitary conditions in the food industry prior to the FDA's establishment is The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.
It was required reading at my high school.
Stop voting for Republicans before they kill us
Recordatorio de que el agua no es necesaria para enfriar los centros de datos, si la usan es simplemente porque es el método más barato aunque tenga enormes consecuencias ambientales.
Podrían instalar refrigeración líquida cerrada pero los capitalistas nos quieren ver muertos.
Virtually every fish in one of Arizona’s largest lakes has died after the reservoir fell to less than 1% of its capacity.
This spring, the mountain snow that feeds the reservoir reached just 2% of its normal level. With almost no inflow, the lake shrank dramatically, the water overheated, oxygen levels collapsed, and nearly 100% of the fish suffocated.
But drought wasn’t the only reason.
Even as the reservoir was collapsing, water continued flowing downstream to supply farms under agreements written decades ago, when a snowpack collapse this severe was considered unthinkable.
The ecosystem kept losing water while the climate that sustained it had already changed.
The rules were built for a world that no longer exists.
Climate change isn’t only testing ecosystems. It’s testing the systems we built to manage them.

It took more than 200 years for the national debt to hit one trillion. The national debt just increased by one trillion dollars in the past 70 days.
There are no brakes on this train. None.
Holy hell. For the love of everything American I’m going to take a deep breath and respond to this absolute dribble.
I pay taxes. YOU pay taxes. WE pay taxes.
The idea that American tax dollars should go towards the improvement of American lives is NOT socialism.
I have not ONCE advocated for the government to assume control of the means of production and equally spread those resources amongst the populace.
THAT is socialism.
FFS I am literally advocating for tax levels to be where they were before Reagan came in with his trickle down bull SHIT and gutted the working class.
The billionaires are NOTHING without us. They leverage our resources, our energy, our labor and our LIVES.
Not ONCE have I asked for or advocated for an equal distribution of wealth.
On God, we are just SICK of giving every single thing we have to offer to the oligarchs and going bankrupt with a single cancer diagnosis.
We pay everything and get NOTHING.
The dam is breaking. And comments like THIS only serve as a reminder that propaganda WORKS.
Violet Affleck delivering a flawless speech in an N95 at the UN in front of the entire world, but 99% of you won't wear an N95 to the fucking grocery store because "oh no, what will some stranger think." A society of cowards. Be like Violet. Do the right thing and be proud of it.
