Food safety inspectors from the Department of Agriculture are considered “essential” and are working without pay. Sooner or later they’ll hit a breaking point too.

The MSM has been hyperfocused on the park service and transportation safety/security. I wonder if they’re afraid of starting a mass panic as people start realizing the nation’s food supply chain is in jeopardy.
