The Beef About Recalled Ground Turkey
Hello, everybody!
Well, if the present financial problems in this country wasn't bad enough, now they have to confiscate one of our favorite foods as well! Our turkey burgers are gone! That's right! They've totally recalled millions of pounds of ground turkey last week, because it was infected with a dangerous strain of salmonella, the kind that doesn't respond to any type of antibiotic whatsoever! And if you think that's scary, imagine not having your tasty turkey burgers on Saturday night, or turkey chilli on taco night. Why, I was bummed when I couldn't fix my famous Frito pie without the turkey chili that made it famous! The prospects of not having my favorite Frito pie while watching the I Love Lucy marathon last week was very dour! Luckily, we did have some canned chili on stock, and don't worry, it was beef, not turkey. So my Frito pie dinner and the I Love Lucy marathon went on without a hitch.
But the beef (ground and otherwise) that I want to sound off on this week is the fact that this whole country seem to be falling apart, from the crumbling infrastructure to the crap we have to eat nowadays. Once upon a time, we had little things in this country called, regulations. They made sure that everything in this country, from the transportation we rode on to the food and drink we consumed, was safe to use. But then, something happened in this country. People started getting elected in this country who thought that it was a good idea to save money, by deregulating everything. Not such a wise move, it turns out, because now, we have buildings that are literally falling apart, bridges that are literally falling apart, and food and drink that are literally killing us. And, it turns out that we didn't save that much money either, because, from what I've been hearing this past week, there is no more money in this country! How smart was that?
Well, the only thing that can be done to save what's left of this country is to try to get this country back to the way it was 30 years ago. Elect people who will re-regulate things in this country, and try to generate enough funds to hire people to fix up the crumbling infrastructure in this country. We did it in the 80s, and we certainly can do it now. Just don't listen to those numbskulls that were elected last fall, but have all of us band together and fight to do what's right in this country. And reprinting a little known and long forgotten book called The Jungle by Upton Sinclair wouldn't hurt things either.
Well, that's all the time we have for this week. Until next time, be well, stay well, and remember to help the disaster survivors!
Sincerely,
Marley Sue
