This should read as:

Regulators: allows the meat industry to put creatures in the filthiest conditions possible

disease starts spreading and affecting the industry

Regulators: ๐Ÿ˜ง

More like:

Meat industry: lobbies regulators and focuses on profits above all else despite every warning against it

disease starts spreading and affecting the industry

Meat industry: ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

This is spot on. The meat industry for years has been trusted because of regulation. The moment you take away regulation you take away trust and start a race to the bottom. Ask any of these other deregulated industries:

-News and Television -Deregulated in the 90s

-Boeing and commercial aircraft - Merged unchallenged in the 90s and the FAA allowed "self reporting"

-Banks - Deregulated in the 90s.

This really should read as:

Republicans defund regulation budgets to appease meat producers' donations.

Regulators: "there's three of us"

Meat producers: "we have no incentive to follow existing laws and standards which were lax as hell to begin with."
