Is anything tested and approved since the 1980s actually safe?
Any of it? Yes. All of it? No, and far from it.
Or did we recruit too many diversity hires into our FDA?
We did, but that's not even the primary problem. The FDA is another corrupt institution that leeched of us to protect the big corporations. The issue isn't diversity, it's corruption and greed.

I want to ask a question in earnest to anyone who wants to answer this: How can you in good conscience truly suggest that this is "corruption" when these institutions were never pure in the first place?
These institutions need to be abolished in totality. They cannot be "fixed", for they were never broken. The idea they can be reformed when the foundation is so utterly rooted in control is myopic at best and delusional at worst.

For the record, I never said anything to the contrary in my post.

Probably, yeah.
Also, something that was shitty can still become more corrupted. It's not mutually exclusive. These agencies are and always were crap...they've also become a more corrupted form of their original.

This is true, but there is the implication, and statists will use that implication to try and make arguments for reformation over abolition.
