Anti-capitalist maybe, but pro capital. Dear leader and his cronies need the cash crops to for export, fancy houses don’t grow on trees. They grow off the the sweat of the worker.

I didn’t intend to say the farmer is making the choices solely for personal profit. They grow what sells, or what they’re told to, so they can afford to live, not their choice.

In the end I see we agree. It’s not about an ism. It’s all about cash. Money. Capital. And greed doesn’t care about crop rotation- it’s too short sighted.

Methinks it’s a capitalist issue, not a farming issue.

Farmers can’t bank seeds and have to buy new every year or face legal consequences.

Probably also planting based on value of crop vs cost of growing not nutritional red of the community.

Might be the idea. “They won’t dare try anything now, because it’ll be worse.”

Russian economy tanks, piles of roubles…

As far I knew it was already a thing, kind of. They know what you search for and route you near those things… and make sure the businesses show up on the map.

Just have it at the surfing venue. Teahupo’o.

Odd that it didn’t get blocked by these US banking institutions, or they got the transfer fees then flagged the transactions…

Ah, my bad- so it is. To be honest all I’ve ever heard about the Foxconn iPhone factories in china is them using Chinese semi slave labor run by Chinese people.

I guess taiwan number one China is still a bit shady at times…

Wait… I thought Apple left China because of slave(ish) labor reasons. But are still using Foxconn which is a Chinese company?

Ah found this: “Like many of its competitors, Apple has relied on China for assembling its products for years. But political and economic factors have forced the company, as well as the broader tech sector, to rethink that approach by seeking partners from across the region.” (Link

You can take the production out of China, but not China out of production…all for ‘optics’.

You can also spam the power button on IOS. It should pop up the same menu as holding the power button. You can cancel, but it requires a password to get back into the phone.

Right, this election, and the last, where more about who the president surrounds themselves with. Who they appoint to key positions. Not the individual.

Most of these artists use fairly complicated, or difficult to master, software to create and/or edit their art.

Signing up for and uploading images to a website isn’t really complicated.

Many may be victims of a legal system that incentivizes recidivism and bullshit laws.

For profit prisons need bodies to get federal cash, plus the cash from the underpaid labor the prisoners provide.

I’m sure it would cost the government less to implement social programs that help nurture and support everyone than to continue to subsidize and pay private prisons.

I have no proof of anything. But saying most don’t want to change seems hyperbolic and dog whistle-y.

A very small minority are probably wired wrong and are indeed unchanging in their ways, I’d say the vast majority were set up to fail for profit.

And even more kowtowing and pandering.

The push back from the residents is a bit of knee jerk reaction, it’s them saying “treat our city like an amusement park, fine, pay like you’re visiting an amusement park”.

A complex issue boiled down to one phrase.

I have nothing to add, just amused by the fact that a Tickle can’t get a giggle.

I am bleeding, making me the victor!

Man, I thought I was on crazy pills with the lack of nuance here. Everything is black and white with no room for gray or context…

I’m digging the past few days. There have been a number of posts and comments calling it out. The fact that your comment has positive upvotes is a good sign and surprising.
