Grouse

Subsidizing good intentions is not the same as subsidizing good results. Leftists scream when money is invested where returns are good for the country, but love it when it's money lost by green industries. Politicians care whether or not I vote for them, or at least they did until they learned how to steal elections and get away with it. The sheep are the people who accept the lies from the left.

It sure as hell exposes the hypocrisy of their "moral superiority".

You know Elon Musk was asked to turn off all of the Teslas in Russia when the Ukraine was invaded, right? He refused. He didn't say it couldn't be done. When all upgrades can be uploaded into a car via WiFi, if you don't think the car can be shut off whenever, you are in denial. Laugh while you can fools.

Actually, he was involved in investing in the vaccines to make a huge profit, from something that was completely worthless. Why do you suppose he's partnered up with Monsanto right now?

And there are people out there who still say that bill was all about fixing roads and bridges. Will it actually fix any roads or bridges?

If you really think Biden has anything in his mind, you're kidding yourself.

He's taking farmland out of production. That has an impact, especially when he's only one of the people doing it. He's just doing his part to attack modern farming and force the changes he would like to see on the rest of us. Any reduction in farming raises prices.

The price of chicken This photo looks a little gross, because – well – it is. But this uncooked chicken in front of a huge stack of money tells a larger, sadder story. It comes to us from Venezuela, which has been battling hyperinflation for years. To put it simply and briefly, hyperinflation is the term for prices spiraling out of control while currency values plummet. Things have gotten so bad in the South American country that this five-pound chicken now costs 14,600,000 bolivars. Yes, more than 14 million. However, this astronomical sum is only worth $2.22.

The objective, they claim, is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. They say this will “save” the planet from climate catastrophe. But the proposed actions threaten to increase food prices, cause shortages of staple crops, and increase global food insecurity. In fact, some countries like Canada and the Netherlands are already instituting policy changes that require the reduction of nitrogen fertilizers and farming equipment that runs on fossil fuels. Farmers in both countries are in a state of shock as these actions go against the need of the hour, which is to produce more food crops. The farming community plays a crucial role by producing food, one of our most basic and fundamental needs. Without adequate food, civilization will struggle to carry out its other endeavors. The worst affected are the poorer economies in Africa, Asia, and South America. More than 800 million live in active hunger globally. Surprisingly, food poverty is growing even in advanced economies like the U.S. According to the USDA, “38.3 million people lived in food-insecure households … 584,000 children (0.8 percent of the nation’s children) lived in households in which one or more child experienced very low food security.” The recent events in Sri Lanka are a precursor and warning to Western economies. Sri Lanka’s economy collapsed completely in 2022, and the country’s decision to ban fertilizers and pesticides played a major role in leading to the crisis. Climate-sensitive agricultural practices that reduce/ban fertilizer and pesticide use will result in food shortages, inflation, and unprecedented farmer losses. The proposed actions to reduce agricultural emissions will result in a reversal of centuries-long improvement in global agriculture and food security. The art of farming has been crafted over many centuries, and the plants were carefully bred. With the advent of agricultural technology, man was finally able to achieve unprecedented success and meet food demand of over seven billion people. But now farmers will be forced to forgo their existing rights to make a profit and unable to feed the world. If a farmer is forced to reduce yield and emissions and to forgo the use of plant-growth enhancers, global food insecurity will plague more households and hunger will spread. Those who are intent on ending global poverty and those with a compassionate heart cannot support draconic agricultural policies that seek to disrupt the great advancement in global food production. The farming issue is discussed starting at the 21:00 mark.

There is a new movement against farming. This is no random grassroots movement. It's a global one with political interests. This new collective strategy proposes to reduce agricultural production, reduce livestock numbers, and ban plant growth-enhancing fertilizers. To reduce agricultural production when hunger and poverty are still prevalent among billions in the world will be suicidal. The more food costs, the more people will be pushed into food poverty. Those who are intentional about ending global poverty and those with a compassionate heart cannot support draconic agricultural policies that seek to disrupt the great advancement in global food production. A while back I posted about Bill Gates buying up American farmland at an alarming rate. Nobody seemed to be concerned. We now see he is taking all of that farmland out of production. We should all be concerned now.
