Filthy China......

Last week somebody dumped unknown pollution into a river in China turning the water blood red.

It is not the first time it has happened.

The same thing happened in 2011.

The rivers in China are some of the most polluted rivers in the world.

Then farmers come along and irrigate their farms with the disgusting water.
That is how the farm land in China gets completely contaminated.

In China 20% of all farm land is too polluted according to the government.

That is what they admit to. You can be sure it is even worse than that. If China says it is too polluted imagine how polluted it really is.

In China everything is polluted.

They have record breaking amounts of air pollution. The levels are literally off the charts.

The air pollution is so bad it literally affects global weather patterns.

That is right…..The snow you saw (out your window) could have been directly related to air pollution in China.

This pollution crisis effects every aspect of Chinese life.

For example the wardrobe in America is pants and a shirt.

In China they wear pants, a shirt, and a dust mask. It is just part of everyday life.

Lives in China are shortened 5.5 years because it is so filthy.

The fruits and vegetables grown in the filth are shipped to America where you feed it to your family. Is it safe? (shrug) We will see. You will have to let us know as you (and your family) continue to consume this stuff.

This is why “country of origin” labeling is so important. Yet our government has not mandated it. So lots of what you eat comes from places like filthy China. If you knew the truth you would never eat it. If only you could know.

You like Mandarin oranges? They are almost all from filthy china. Apples? China. The list goes on and on.

All of these things I am showing you is what you get with deregulation.

Corporate America loves it. No rules. Dump the toxins in the river. It is fantastic.

If you agree this is fantastic then stand up and applaud when (one of the bozos on) Fox News mentions deregulation. When they mention tightening environmental regulations is a bad idea.

If however you think this is all real terrible, then you should do what I do. Pop your middle finger straight up and point it right at your TV screen. That will make you feel great.

See deregulation NEVER works, and all the links above show you exactly why. Make sure you click on all of them.
