Yes. Using forced prison labor is using slave labor.
Are the prisoners given no choice? I’m okay with it either way - as long as prison time isn’t unjust.
This was related to an Arizona Correctional Industries prison labor contract. In Arizona, labor is mandatory. They either work in these corporate-tied programs or they have to work some other kind of job at the prison. Is that really a choice?

Fascism always collapses, the question is only how much will remain by the time that occurs.
What definition of fascism are you using? Is China fascist?

What a strange and completely irrelevant question.

And whether or not what replaces it is any better. Historically speaking, widespread democracy is still a recent development.
It is a movement motivated by the petty grievances of cowards and fools, and the same hate and violence they project outward always turns inward at the end.

That isn't for restaurants.
Yes it is > For non-prepacked foods – such as those sold in restaurants, cafés or deli counters – allergen information must be provided.
The US has it's own allergen labeling guidelines, which seem similar, but I'm not going to 1:1 check. For restaurants it's mostly up to the states with the FDA providing guidance.

I've worked along scientists a few times, many twiddling their thumbs and coasting along on the back of their PhD. No idea if this applies here, mind you, but I don't see an innate need for that many people, even if this disease has major outbreaks (let's say > 50 cases) every few years. 3 does seem a bit low, though.
Do you think some of them were wasting their time, by posting on various online forums only slightly related to their jobs?

I remember seeing advice, years ago, to let lettuce sit in a weak bleach solution before use. But I doubt that’s ever been followed by many people. Current advice (at least at home) seems to be to rinse lettuce to remove dirt ( https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/safe-handling-of-lettuce-... ). Apparently most health problems from lettuce are on the surface and not particularly hard to get off.
Which wouldn’t help in this case. It seems like it is time to irradiate produce.

At what point is it forced/not forced to you? This was related to an Arizona Correctional Industries prison labor contract. In Arizona, labor is mandatory. They either work in these corporate-tied programs or they have to work some other kind of job at the prison. Is that really a choice?

DOGE will be seen by historians as the cause of so many crisis…
