Thereās a reason why those regulations were in place, to protect consumers from shit like this. To no surprise, this administrationās policies are not for the protection of itās people-they serve the interests of the large corporations-not for the people, not for America.
It should also be noted that these companies could still follow the now-repealed safety regulations. Theyāre showing their colors as bastards by immediately jumping on all this deregulation to save a few bucks at the cost of consumersā health and well-being. Any of the people running these companies could take the easiest moral stance and literally save lives, and they adamantly refuse to do so because they are literal monsters who value capital over lives
customer: About 2 months ago I bought a standard weeping juniper, itās going all brown, whatās happening?
me:do you have a photo? no? ok *starts asking questions and listing all the reasons why a juniper could suddenly go brown*
customer:Ā I donāt know, you should really come see it
me, half a step in their garden:Ā thatās not a juniper, itās a perfectly healthy larchā¦Larix deciduaā¦itās deciduousā¦.and itās autumnā¦Ā
customer, looking at the name tag still on the plant: oh
This is what a Larix decidua, Pinaceae looks like right now. Being a deciduous conifer, it first goes through some dramatic colour changes and then sheds its needles, which grow back a bright green the following spring.Ā Ā
Progress of my Sedum cremnosedumĀ ālittle gemā that I inherited from my mother after I moved to a new state! I love him so much! I know he is pretty etiolated, but my apartment is west-facing and it sucks, but there isnāt much I can do about it. I canāt afford a grow light either because I canāt afford to constantly go over on my power bill in my apt (which I already do without the presence of a grow light) š¦
I just stuck this guy in the corner of my windowsill and just watered him weekly and let him do his thing and he exploded over 4 months! Iām so proud :ā)Ā
This little Turbinicarpus jauernigii hasnāt stopped blooming since late October, but this is the first time itās produced two flowers at once. Iād like to think that itās just responding really well to the inorganic soil mix I repotted it into last year, but this plant has always bloomed enthusiastically since it was a gumball-sized seedling so I donāt think I can take any of the credit.
This species is 80% taproot, so as soon as itās done putting on as show and I reduce watering, itāll withdraw down to the soil level and disguise itself as a particularly lumpy pebble until next year.
