That's the genetic engineering that is taking place in various labs. Plant biology is booming thx to crispr and meat replacement industry.

Also crops are insured before planting and commodities exchanges allow futures pricing to control the price variance/ crop risk. All that infrastructure will happen also as part of the scaling. Hemp itself is a byproduct more valuable than cotton as a fiber so the gross value of a plant is higher. But at a $1 a seed the risk of planting acres uncontrolled is too high. But it was once a huge crop in pa for industrial hemp. Even wo the oil aspect of cbd and THC.

Maryland farmers gonna farm it.
Ohio farmers already farming it. NJ NY VA etc.

When the PA farmers realize the value per acre they will demand it. It's really hard to grow at scale (like tobacco level scale) but it's being researched. You might not like the price of food when weed is grown at scale.

I bought em and it was break even at best. But insulated me from cost increases. Still have a grid connection but I live a lifestyle that needs it. If I was power conscious prob not. But I don't wanna be like my parents yelling about light bulbs and 5 cents worth of light.

If you end up w a disability in the us you're begging for help on the streets. If you can't work your own insurance will terminate you when the employer stops paying. If you have a jumbo claim the insurer will red line you even if you work and good luck.

This is the land of opportunity but so is Singapore and Dubai.

Don't leave your free healthcare enormous tuition subsidies topless beaches and 6 weeks of leave a year minimum. The food is shitty here unless you're rich and the weather is highly unpredictable. Most people here are barely surviving. If you want to be a billionaire move to Silicon Valley all our billionaires are coal miners and oil tycoons or the children of them.

When they start leaving notes on your windshield they don't ask how often you attend services.

This has happened in my old Texas neighborhood, creepy leaflets on all the Jewish homes. Which is scary that they know which homes are which.

That's the part Doug misses. How about "I condemn racism in all forms and here is my plan to fight racism in my administration" vs "you're not jewish enough to be jewish". Bunch of imbeciles. The worst kind of racism is when you think you're not racist.

Exactly. The only people who do that are Christians. If a Muslim attempted to pray publicly in schools on a prayer mat there would be reasonsssssss why they can't. One might be the chaos of trying to accommodate every possible religion so let's cut to the chase and not have any?

The gop candidates are spouting Christian nationalism and the national gop is happy for whatever gets them votes.

Oz personally has no problem promoting snake oil questionable health supplements even after graduating from medical school and becoming very wealthy on the way. He will do whatever the fuck someone pays him to do. Proven fact.

Right now the people he owes in a big giant huge way are the leaders of the GOP who are absolutely committed to nominating judges who believe rights long enshrined in law are all up for review. Absolutely committed to bringing god and Jesus into your life like it or not. Prayer in school? Hey if the coach wants you to kneel down and worship a funny planet while wearing special underwear that's his right. Likewise if the coach thinks you should bow to the east 3x a day that's just his religious freedom and he will in no way hold it against you during your performance review. Not at all. 😂. Funny if it wasn't terrifying. Now imagine you're a gay atheist who has been thru conversation therapy twice.

I believe that Hunter Biden has a laptop and is probably an idiot son of a politician but he's not exactly brokering peace in the Middle East while Eric trump is also an idiot and thinks he can make peace with the Arabs bc his brother in law is Jewish. Same w Donald trump jr. Tiffany and Ivanka and they are all in the freaking White House despite having zero background in diplomacy, never served in the military (at least Hunter made an attempt) and are hustling hotel brands and makeup kits and fashion. Hunter prob doesn't speak Ukrainian and knows nothing about Gas. This is nepotism and not a crime or trump would be in jail or indicted a third time.
