There was an article recently about the rise of incompetence towards the end of a civilization. Can’t remember where I saw it.
Thanks. Wow. It looks as though there may be traffic accidents, too, with those vehicles/drivers on the road so shocked.
I’m sure it was...

LOL!
Murder, lying, and death are all Satan advocates. As people become more and more evil, killing is all they care about.
“Chocolate, yet, and not Hershey’s..”
This is the stuff they sell at Dollar(25) Tree. It is a stretch to call it chocolate. They usually use weasel words like “chocolate flavored”, probably because it does not meet some legal definition for real chocolate. It makes Hershey’s taste like Lindt. I am sorry for the people involved, but it is no loss to the chocolate world
No, it was the EBLF (Easter Bunny Liberation Front), who oppose exploitation of rabbits in furtherance of the patriarchal hegemony of Big Candy.
“...the rise of incompetence towards the end of a civilization...”
Look under revelations.

So, you're saying this is not an outbreak of chocolatey goodness and lockdowns and vaccinations won't be required?
Yes, you are right. Palmer makes the cutest and worst tasting Easter bunnies on the planet. It is a stretch to call them food, much less chocolate. As a kid, it was one of the few Easter treats I wouldn't eat, and I am a true chocoholic.
Palmer is truly crap tier “chocolate”. Easter related sales are the most likely thing keeping them in business.
Grain silos used to blow up all the time! Until they figured out what was causing them to blow.
Good grief--are you saying that anarchists don't like chocolate? Nuts!
Still, I grieve for the employees that were killed or injured. This is a tragedy to their families and we shouldn't lose sight of that.
Likewise with flour mills. I too recall grain elevators blowing up all the time. Not so much of late.
Something about 14.7:1 air:fuel mixture....
“So, you’re saying this is not an outbreak of chocolatey goodness and lockdowns and vaccinations won’t be required?”
Yes, especially the “goodness” part.
850 employees without work now.
Oh, that is so sad. Palmer is big in Easter Candy. Prayers, almighty Father, for the families and victims of this tragedy. Through our Lord, Jesus. Amen.
With 7 kids in our family we were more likely to get a Palmer chocolate bunny for Easter in our baskets. At that age I wasn’t an expert in chocolate but we didn’t get many sweets as a kid.
