It is impossible to hate stooges like Markey enough. Wouldn’t it be glorious to have the video of the Pharma and Food industry handing the talking points off to Markey’s Staff and offering them jobs in their future? Guarantee it happened even without the video. Our politicians are so worthless we really don’t need any government at this point. Local sheriff’s and their Posse of support can take care of criminals better than our useless criminal Justice system and the entire federal structure could be dismantled making us healthy and happy again. We need a real political revolution that starts with very short term limits and zero dollars outside of direct from constituents donations in politics. We need a law outlawing all corporate lobbying. Corporations are NOT people and do not have a redress right. And we obviously need grownups in government. People who have had an actual life before lording over our people and who are virtuous and thoughtful and hard working and power agnostic.

"There's not enough money to do these things," say the ppl who pay themselves $170K/year, thereby enabling THEMSELVES to buy organic foods. Meanwhile, labels don't help anyone stuck in an institutional setting. What we really need is to end poverty; and I bet that if every household got as much cash handed to them as Congress pays itself, there would be no poverty in the US at all. Almost like Congress knows what the REAL cost-of-living is.
