    Why do plagues surface every time Donald takes office? Strange that Christians ignore these signs.

      “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭17‬

      This verse pops into my mind when fellow “Christians” praise Trump. It saddens me that they are happy to help a crook and a rapist into power, all because “the Democrats are worse.” Elect a more morally upstanding republican then! Why does it have to be THIS guy?

      I question if they ever actually read the Bible with an open mind… after all, wasn’t Satan the one to tempt Jesus with earthly political power? Even if Dems were worse, didn’t Christ call us to love our enemies? They’ve completely lost the plot, and then wonder why the Western church is in decline.

        Anyone who has read and actually understood the Bible knows that trump 100% fits the bill for being the anti-christ. It’s so ironic.

        It’s very that. Too many people here are like, “fundies OBVIOUSLY don’t understand their own bible fwah fwah,” when no, they totally do and they’re actually really into all that End Times shit. Oceans warming up? Woo-hoo we’re on our way to boiling! Another plague? Sweet! Another sign! Does this one have lesions? Christian Fundies have worked hard for their end times, doing their part to make the laws of god into the laws of man on earth.

        Our planet on fire is literally their best case scenario (and exactly why they can’t be trusted in any kind of public office). They know who Trump is. The imperfect vessel or the antichrist - it’s just another sign to check off the list. I wish I was being hyperbolic.

    Maybe ‘raw milk’ shouldn’t be-

    Oh, nevermind, we’re going to have RFK in charge of public health now, it’s a lost cause

      In the beginning of bird flu, the instances called for only using treated milk. As a counter reaction, the sale of raw milk went up. Rationality went out the window some time ago.

      I hadn’t heard of this. I was shocked to find out that unpasteurised milk could be sold to begin with, didn’t expect a second shock in the comments. Think I’m going to go back to just not touching social media for a while.

        I’m surprised it can be sold in stores alongside regular milk. Raw milk doesn’t last long because of the lack of pasteurization, the logistics of constant replacement due to the lack of shelf time is insane. There’s no way places can be making money simply due to product loss as it goes bad before being sold.

        Unless the farms selling it to the stores are lying about expiration dates due to lack of adequate regulations.

          Maybe they end up selling enough. I wonder the same thing about the snowfox sushi sold in grocery stores. They have a shelf life of 1 day and the shelves are always full even before the store closes. They can either break even or they are running at a high loss.

          Also, I don’t know if the raw milk is sold in regular grocery stores. I have never seen one.

            The sushi I see sold in the stores near me is usually restocked a few times during the day since they keep smaller quantities on hand, usually early morning, late morning and late afternoon, to get people for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
            I also think it’s a pretty high margin food. You usually just need a little veggies and some rice, and optionally a pretty small amount of fish for the price you pay.
            One person can then prepare two or three rolls at once in a couple of minutes.

            It’s not great sushi usually, but it’s at least better than the majority of grab and go foods.

      Not only will the milk be raw, but there will also be no vaccines. The next pandemic is going to be such a hoot.

            You’re thinking to small. Start up store that only sells ivermectin and sell it straight to the government for insane markups. That’s what happened during COVID with regular medical supplies! Heck one of the reasons why they were in short supply is becaue Kuchner gave the federal government’s supply to his buddy’s companies who then sold them to hospital systems for a profit. Some of it even just got sold back to federal government.

        There’s probably a small loss of some nutrients (the heat breaks some chemical bonds). The benefit would probably be somewhere between negligible and marginal before you factor in the risk of food poisoning.

          Studies have shown no difference in nutritional value. So it’s a net negative across the board.

          It’s not healthier, it has a higher risk of pathogens, and a much shorter shelf life, all for usually more cost at the store. It’s a perfect grift for the anti-vax, chemicals=bad people.

    I’m 100% for raw milk. I hope some one is setting up a centralized nation wide distribution ready to go live the second it’s legal, and I hope everyone who wants it can get it at the same time before any news can spread.

      When men were men, women were property, black people were property, Irish people were black people, and we had just curb stomped our first country full of brown people.

      A man could just pick up and go to a new town and call himself a doctor, sell some random bullshit to whoever, and leave before the consequences could catch up to him.

      You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know. Morons.
