LaGuardia gave some great speeches for his '24 campaign: "in my experience if a man dropped a 1,700 pound bomb and killed many unhappy people he was a great American... but if he sought to have the city appropriate sixteen cents for a quart of milk for some babies, then he is a radical."

One of the wildest things about this for me is that, historically, the meat packing industry itself pushed for government inspection. Turns out, if customers donβt think meat is safe to eat, they buy less of it. Who is this type of deregulation actually benefiting?
