Our local farm food hub had to scrap more than 16000 #eggs because of a climate control malfunction.
Will #composting work or will we have a smelly mess on our hands? Stick around to find out..
Also, if we want eggs to be cheaper ... Would it make sense to review this requirement?
I thought #deregulation was in vogue.
Every Dirty Gift #Trump’s #BigBill Gives the #FossilFuel Industry
Trump’s “#BigBeautifulBill” has billions for oil and gas companies: tax breaks, deductions, and pay-to-play #environmental #deregulation
by Antonia Juhasz, July 10, 2025
"The new law compounds the already $17 billion in direct federal subsidies U.S. taxpayers pay to oil, gas, and coal companies every year. It cuts hundreds of billions of dollars in tax incentives for #RenewableEnergy, despite it being cheaper, healthier, more efficient, and more reliable than #FossilFuels. As a result, the law threatens nearly a million U.S. jobs and will result in higher electricity and transportation costs for people living in every state in the continental U.S.
"The power of the fossil fuel industry over Trump and the #RepublicanParty is on full display in their Big Beautiful Bill. Mike Sommers, president of the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute, the fossil fuel industry’s largest lobbying group, told CNBC, 'It includes almost all of our priorities.' "

L'Union Européenne veut assouplir la règlementation sur les produits toxiques
C'est une nouvelle tentative de dérégulation au niveau européen. Après les propositions de législation omnibus visant à « simplifier » les règles de durabilité pour les entreprises, ce sont désormais les réglementations sur les produits toxiques qui sont sur la sellette.

#Deregulation, and #UnionBusting do not appeal to me. I will not be voting for these #Democrats either. If we have #abundance then #billionaires can pay their taxes, and #corporations can adhere to #regulations

Today, EDRi and 51 civil society organisations, academics, and experts have written to the European Commission to oppose any attempts to suspend or delay the #ArtificialIntelligence #AI Act.
These attempts, especially in light of the growing trend of #deregulation of #FundamentalRrights and environmental protection, could undermine accountability and hard-won rights for people, the planet, justice and democracy

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
[… P]redatory wealth — of the wealth accumulated on a giant scale by all forms of iniquity, ranging from the oppression of wageworkers to unfair and unwholesome methods of crushing out competition, and to defrauding the public by stock jobbing and the manipulation of securities.
Certain wealthy men of this stamp, whose conduct should be abhorrent to every man of ordinarily decent conscience, and who commit the hideous wrong of teaching our young men that phenomenal business success must ordinarily be based on dishonesty, have during the last few months made it apparent that they have banded together to work for a reaction. Their endeavor is to overthrow and discredit all who honestly administer the law, to prevent any additional legislation which would check and restrain them, and to secure if possible a freedom from all restraint which will permit every unscrupulous wrongdoer to do what he wishes unchecked provided he has enough money.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)

‘Marjorie Taylor Greene bought Palantir shares days before ICE awarded the company a $30M contract’ Would any doubt the celebrity cult are more as opposed to less guilty of insider trading? That’s how the corporate mob buy presidents and prime ministers. Political corruption is far worse than any pandemic, as in the end it costs billions of lives if not all for the extreme violence of its protectionist racketeering! The growth of fascist cults has a cause. #deregulation #PoliticalCorruption #PublicEnemies https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/greene-ice-palantir/

On #deregulation, #Chemicals industry has long list of files on target list:
CLP chemicals labelling Cosmetics REACH PFAS Export ban Sustainable taxonomy...
1st Chemicals Omnibus looks set to deliver some of this, with part 2 due later in 2025
#Chemicals industry says it's struggling, but what about huge financial burden on public purse each year from its products?
Radical #deregulation sounds like its a way to lessen #bureaucracy, but what it really does is move oversight away from public institutions into private control.
Calling for less rules without a human-first mindset enables corporate #surveillance outside of democratic structures.
Yes, there are places where there is too much red-tape. But without considering which communities it's protecting, and understanding their concerns, these laws shouldn't be cut down with chainsaws.
Von der Leyen & @EUCommission use the #DMA as a poker chip against US Trump car tariffs thus tarnishing our #EU legislation
Allowing #Bigtech to influence our digital laws which shall ensure consumer + digital rights against commercial profits under the frame of #deregulation is undemocratic as it is against the interests of the 
people.
Call on your national governments that this is not acceptable
