Elect an African Dictator, and this is what you get.
This is only part of a whole slate of absurdities designed to drive small businesses under. In fact, the objective of this whole aggregate of regulations is to make it IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to legally make a living independently. Coupled with the mass importation of horrible people from horrible places, it's obvious that the end goal of all of this is to drive White People out of existence, and the rest of us back into SLAVERY.
Somewhere in the boxes of books we haven't unpacked since our move to Oregon is a giant History of Russia. I was about halfway through it when the move happened. Anyway, the theme of various peoples, from Latvia to Poland to the Caucaus....resisting being made into Serfs, is the most common theme of that long, long book. Pretty much the same group who, a millennium back, masterminded the serfdom thing, are masterminding the destruction of Americans.
I wish this 'Milk Containment Crisis' were comical and clueless. It's not.
And once again the feds make fools out of themselves. As others have said, no good will come of this. Prices will go up, and the small, local farmers will suffer the most in an effort to comply.
In all honesty, cleaning up ANY type spill is a job and a half!
Didja know that when a tractor trailer carrying foodstuffs flips over, the cargo must be destroyed? It's considered unfit for human consumption after such an accident no matter the condition of the packaging.
But should a forklift tear into a pallet of foodstuffs - the driver can give the rest away, carry it back to distribution where it's given away, or it's tossed into a dumpster near the dock.
I haven't bought taters, corn chips, or yogurt in years....... and the free 5 tons of baking soda is a plus for soda blasting my old car restoration.
And we have a hunger problem with the poor in this country.....go figure.
This would be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Not to mention expensive, especially for smaller producers. We consumers will be the ones to pay in the long run of course.
Naturally, nobody bothered to research this themselves. As usual, it's more intellectually easy to just let someone else claim something and accept it at face value, especially when it validates already held prejudices about Obama.
In the first place, the EPA has been regulating animal fat storage, transportation and spills since at least the 1980's, so you can blame Reagan for that, I guess:
Next, the $3 million program mentioned will actually make it easier for dairy farmers by ensuring their on-farm facilities are up to code and allowing them to "self-certify." About 86% of farms do that. In other words, they don't have enough storage capacity to fall under the EPA's spill requirements (1500 gal. above ground and @4000 gal. under ground) under the new rules and those that do will have help upgrading themselves into the "self-certify" category.
So, as you should be able to see now, it's not a case of Obama's bureaucrats run wild, but new allowances to previously existing rules which will actually HELP milk producers and handlers stay in compliance with Congressionally mandated requirements at less expense and trouble to themselves.
Now that you have the facts of the matter in hand, don't let that stop your outrage. Go right ahead with our Obama-bashing. The facts have never stopped you before.
