@doctor_zoidberg @Herbivore well clearly the FDA and sister agencies in developed countries agree with me. If they believed it was a meaningful risk to most consumers they would have baned the sale. Their exist a reason why everything else on your list is heavily restricted in its sale.

With that said I do avoid nitrate salt when I buy food and prefer alternatives without. But I don't think it's helpful to warn consumers about minor risks.

@doctor_zoidberg @Herbivore noisy warning labels aren't helpful.

As I stated in an other reply. Their exist no reason to believe that processed meat is a meaningful cancer risk, to most consumers.

@Herbivore I hope you know this is highly misleading.

The groups are based on the quality of the evidence, not the magnitude of the effect.

It's not even known if the effect from nitrate salt, the active ingredient causing cancer in this case, has strong enough effect to be meaningful in practice.

That is why it hasn't been baned yet, if it were proven: it would as it is an unnecessary additive.

Nitrate is added for colour.

@Herbivore are you asking me to?, because I think I might have a few extra dollars if that's the case.

@LALegault let him, it's easier to counter coup with him out of the country.

@illegalhex their exist no goal for the USA. It's all in the interests of those that hold power. Today you can't treat the USA as a democracy, it is an autocracy in the making.

"Republican women are more perfect men in drag" - is a sentence I am struggling to rebutt.

@foone if you have physical access, how long does it take to bypass the screen lock?. That might be the answer.

@T_X @futurebird @melanie @CCC the way I see it the main problem is funding. Storage space can be rented, and lenders can pay shipping costs. That's why I suggested a register as a first step, if we know what needs to be stored it is easier to plan.

@stuartyeates @futurebird @melanie most government has some kind of national archive. The question is how accessible they are, if president Orange, or president tech bro, decide who has access. Is it really accessible at all?

@melanie @futurebird the problem I see is that libraries should be accessible to the public. Things like the Library of Congress is obviously different. But we can't expend local libraries forever, that would risk them spending more time on archiving rather a public service.

@futurebird @melanie if we start with a public register, where people can document what they have. I think we can find volunteers to store books. as long as we don't give to many books to one person, we should be fairly safe from unintended loses.

@futurebird @melanie someone really should found a cold store for books. If we can fill caves with cheese, why not books?
