I don't miss my days as a meat merchandiser, asking farmers for USDA seals and being told "We don't need any of that." Yeah, ya fuckin do. And you *can* be exempt, but you need (DRUMROLL) an official USDA exemption! You can't just Michael Scott DECLARE it.

Fake. USDA. Seals.
Used by an NC meat processing plant on 83.5 TONS of meat. Produced entirely outside the federal inspection system, according to news reports.
We are pretty close to The Jungle (second ed.) now, no?

Q: On the ban, what does that mean in practice? Are you taking away their badges?
TRUMP: When you say 'the ban,' which ban? Do you know how many bans I'm involved in? I've got more bans going than anyone!

When a team of ProPublica reporters first heard that a Putin-linked oligarch named Umar Kremlev attended Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding, they couldn’t believe it.

This is a good example of how you need quite a lot of detail of how these systems *actually* work to understand what the risks are, and how over-indexing on sci-fi can lead you a bit astray on what the future looks like
