Somebody's poll numbers are stinky, and advisors bring the likeable guy in to make the mean guy more likeable.

Save the CSIRO

Like me growing apples in Florida. A complex niche of weird.

Or names of condoms.

The only reason I know this is a thing is because of you. Pretty neat.

I should have put the little scarcasm /s after that. I love Canada and Canadians. I'm sorry we're morons.

Native Americans should start "N.I.C.E." and start deporting ICE agents. If we're really anti-immigration....

The first order of business might be learning how to spell "defense", eh? 😀

Much respect for farm workers. Sad to see these folks victims for doing work nobody else will do. And the farmers will lose the unpicked crop.

Hahahah

You know this “Health Freedom”thing has traction when the lunch meat rejects medical intervention.

Trump-based medicine. Yep.

I get really mad in this one.

I’ve never see a NEJM article start by saying “since our medical establishment are dishonest and untrustworthy…”

Exactly David. If we can't live in a common reality based on evidence, there can be no democracy. Whatever the Supreme Leader says is reality. That's how it worked in Iran anyway.

It's a formula

I ask this all the time. But I do sense (just based on observation) that most of this comes from interests hostile to the USA. If they can break trust in agriculture and medicine, those are two places where the USA was #1. Use social media as a disinformation conduit to get folks to not trust food.

Exactly. It is 1.5% of the population, but critical to everything else. And I understand why they vote the way they do-- in the past the politcal left would shut them down in a heartbeat with regulation and bans on tech/chemistry. But this is probably worse.

There are companies poised to do that, and if you look carefully at who is heavily invested in them you see some familiar names.

If someone wanted to harm USA agriculture they'd do 5 things.
1. Deport labor, make work in USA inhospitable
2. Start tariff wars that end US commodity crop exports
3. Fire experts in transmissible livestock disease
4. Invite/subsidize foreign meat competition
5. Tell farmers how much I love them.

Here it is county health dept. It's just a drag to have to even install one, big bucks. I life in the middle of nowhere so there's no problems in terms of potential harms from the system. They just have to check the boxes.

If you want to add a new 90,000 ft ballroom to federal property just go ahead and do it.

We wanted to build a certified kitchen on an ag-zoned site and it took forever just to get a septic permit.

Herbal supplements were supposed to make them healthier. Instead, they got sick Common compounds like turmeric and ashwagandha can overwhelm the liver and lead to health complications
