"Meat spill" forces 4-hour closure of I-880 northbound lanes in Oakland
(www.cbsnews.com)
Ground beef 
lmao
the image of animal meat blanketing the entire highway really sells how vast and fucked up the meat industry is...just one truck spilled that much flesh. and that plow is just pushing it all around
sarkic-ass country
chicken and beef parts
"What's the matter, sweetie? You've barely touched your chicken and beef detritus"
The waste of this country, reminder to go vegan (which I should do myself).
Best decision I ever made was to become a vegan, commie, Linux nerd. I was already an annoying commie Linux nerd but now I have the power to send people into literally foaming at the mouth rage at the mere mention of "I'm vegan, btw" and then they spend all their time coming up with every cliche question and accusation about veganism instead of doing anything actually productive.
Unfortunately, food waste is not exclusive to meat. Gotta keep the populace on the verge of starvation at all times. Otherwise they wouldn't work.
Just look at the pics of when someone leaves the door open on a train car full of grain and you just have a line of it down the entire rail. I somehow don't think food transport spilling is exclusive to meat.
Even in just this specific scenario there's the fact to grapple with that losing one container of meat is akin to losing like 10 containers of grain because that's what got fed to all the animals that are now the meat on some oakland highway
say the line, john!
We live in a society?
The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
may I offer you a 
as I politely ask what's holding you back?
I'm not sure is vegan.

This is like one of those ominous events you see on the news ticker of an analog horror video for like 4 and a half seconds before it switches to something else.
In other news, free meat to be dispensed in the Oakland area for the underprivileged and unhoused, as one company's outreach program exceeds expectations for community support and involvement
Sorry about that, my fly came undone. 
Clean-up efforts are underway, using new technologies available, look up "Meat-spin[dot]com" for more information

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
