Another one. #97 but who's counting?


These all seem accidental and not malicious in nature, but it's weird there are so many of them.


This other article has a list of all the fires so far:


Have not actually verified every single one of them all but if you put them in google you can find various sources.

Sort of unsurprising. If we take facilities that traditionally opperated at 95% capacity and basically sent them into turbo 101% capacity due to high demand and low labor... you get an increase in accidents.

Most are likely small and go unreported, but every once in a while you get a solid catestrophic fail.

Zero Hedge? Seriously?

It's been explained to you that the number of industry fires are about average so far. Numbers for 2019 were given to you that exceeded this year's numbers.

But here you are. Still posting conspiratard websites.

Do you lack all critical thinking skills? Are you this easy to Gaslight?

So you think it's normal that there are this many fires? I guess if you put your head in the sand you can just pretend everything is fine.

Anyone attached to any fire service will tell you that commercial and industrial fires are indeed completely normal.

Perhaps if ZeroFacts were to look at averages over the past 50 years .....

It is very likely safety does normally take a back seat in these plants. So it could very be normal, a sort of shitty normal when certain incidents can be risky injury-wise to workers or first responders. Peanut butter get tainted once in a while because of poop-tainted roof water or equivalent because the facility roof isn't maintained.

Apparently you are dumber than a elementary student. What part of the annual fire incident count is average compared to previous years did you not understand? Also, what has this got to do with POTUS?


"Although no data is kept on fires that occur strictly at food processing facilities, the National Fire Incident Reporting System tracks fires within broader categories like manufacturing, refrigerated storage, and agricultural facilities. In 2019, the number of fires at all manufacturing or processing plants in the country topped 5,300—nearly 15 a day. Additionally, more than 2,000 fires occurred in agricultural, grain and livestock, and refrigerated storage facilities, which could all include food processing operations. "

That is more than five fires a day in those categories alone.

You need to stop reading Zero Hedge.

Seriously. This is one of the things that has made you fucking nuts. I'm also watching it happen to one of my close friends.

This has already been asked of you a dozen times in this thread: what is actually normal? You haven't once addressed what is the normal rate of food facility fires, per year, over 5 years, over 3 years, whatever.

You are trying to declare something "abnormal" by tossing a number at the wall and declaring it so. You aren't doing any statistics. You aren't doing any diligence. You are rejecting science and data at its most basic level in order to publicly spray your self-justifying crazy with a number that you fundamentally do not understand in any capacity. You are being fucking useless.

First, you need to ask real questions before diving off into the peanut jar. Here, you need to first establish normal, then start teasing out your argument.

For now, you are just being a disingenuous nutbar.

But it is easier to cause a stir and make something outof nothing to fuel people's *imagination.

The first link was from another source. I don't really follow any specific source. I just linked that one too because it has the full list. Feel free to google each one if you really think they are just being made up. A lot of them are also on more than one source.

You people are funny, it really does not matter what source I link you will just say it's a bad source. I even linked to .edu and .gov sites before and you guys say the same. Just refuting a source because you don't agree with it is dumb. I see people on Reddit do this shit all the time too, it gets old fast.

People are either completely ignorant about what is going on in the world these days, or in denial, and just want to pretend everything is ok even when stuff is literally catching on fire everywhere.

I didn't even mention the over 10,000 cows that suddenly dropped dead out of nowhere. Google that. I won't provide a source because you know why.

Look, I like you Squirrel, but the point Zinfamous was making in one of his posts, is "a lot" or "few" are meaningless terms unless put into context. A number by itself is neither. Industrial/manufacturing fires are trivially common, and nothing in 2022 is deviating from the historical norm.

Shitstains like Carlson should have their teeth kicked out. All 32 of them. Is that a lot? Yes, because it's all their stupid fucking teeth.

Do you not understand no one said the fires are fake? Just the number of fires are not out of the norm. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it extraordinary.

Indeed.

As stated before, there are 2,000+ fires in processing places annually during 'normal year'. What we are seeing is not out of the norm.

Of couse, the people who promoted the idea there are some kind of things going on knew that there are that many fires annually.

Like most conspiracies theroies, they based them off a hint of truth. In this case, there are actual fires but the numbers are normal. What they do is to wrap the truth with other things to make peopel buy into their ideas, and believe there are something going on in the background. Therefore, make them thinking they are the ones knowing the truth, or are seeing things what others are not, so they think everyone who don't believe are igorant. Just basic human psycology.

jesus fucking christ.

I have x number of mice just drop dead in my facility every year. why? because they do. living things do this. under age. It happens in life. Do you know what life is?

What is the total number of cows that you are talking about, of which 10,000 of them "dropped dead"?

lol, seriously? why are you this fucking stupid? How many fucking cows do you think there are in the ag industry? ...and 10k "dropped dead" this year? OH HEAVEN FORFEND OH MY DEAR LORD AND SAVIOR! WHAT A FUCKING MYSTERY!!!!

Seriously: stop being such a fucking rube.

NM. Keep your head in the sand.

oh, so you have no response for "why don't you actually investigate what normal means, before demanding that something is abnormal?"

literally no response for that?

it's because you don't care, right? That's the reason.

Or, hopefully, you are realizing now how stupid you have been, and will slowly start to wake up.

It's a great thing to witness a mind melt due to conservative right wing propaganda. It's a great case study to see how society is falling apart. Squirrel is just an unbelievably perfect symptom of the illness facing our societies
