Price controls on grocery stores? Seriously?

Sorry guys, Blake and I are tapped out of ideas after spending too much time on other research.

Cows do not have intestines. The breakdown of the cellulose they eat happens in the rumen and that is where the methane is produced in the digestion process.

Thanks. I stand corrected. Cows have four stomachs as shown in the photo and relatively small intestines, unlike humans that have one stomach and massive intestines.Thats why we don't belch and burp methane like cows do. I should have been more specific and I stand corrected.

"For most whale and dolphin species, the length of their intestines works out as: (body length0.762) x 17.02. That comes to more than 150m of intestine in the case of a large sperm whale and possibly as much as 220m for a blue whale. While this sounds enormous, it’s actually only seven or eight times the whale’s body length. In contrast, a cow has intestines that are 20 times as long as its body – that’s 40m for a 2m-long cow!…"

Actually, there was a good article from early this year on the topic

https://groundworkcollaborative.org/...n-do-about-it/

From article, these are current things being done (details on each is in the article if you have time to read):
-Identifying and addressing anticompe ive and anti-consumer structures and practices in food, retail, meat/poultry, and other agricultural industries
-Investing in increasing compe ion and resilience in the meat and poultry supply chains
-Leveling the playing field*
-Investing in domestic food supply chains
-Making historic investments in combating climate change

And there are additional things that can also be done:
-Investigating and potentially reforming the use of slotting fees
-Carefully scrutinizing anticompe ive mergers throughout the food supply chain
-Finalizing regulations to promote compe ion in meatpacking
-Reinstating and making food assistance expansions permanent

*John Oliver had a related segment on how poultry industry exploited, deceived, and pushed chicken farmers into debt

The book bannings and all that are because all politics is national and the right is trying to be Trump all the way down.

They are local problems then.
The few nuts go into school boards and berate school board members.
How about people going saying “you will teach my child Catcher in The Rye” because it is a classic and children will learn.
See when it comes down to doing something the nuts go in and the rational people sit on their hands.
Par for the course. Guess the nuts gotta make it hurt more for people to act.
Or even more radical, run for the school board and state your agenda. Win and then go city council. Then keep going…
Or be Trump and get in because you are good on reality TV and lie. Create hate.

Why you bring education to the state
To have more say !

Primary GOP voters vote the most extreme candidates to match what's happening nationally with the GOP and then in general elections there is a lot more straight party line voting than there used to be so the extremists win in red districts. The old saying all politics is local is completely antiquated now with media like Clear Channel, Fox News, and Sinclair radicalizing the conservative base nationally.

The MAGA megaphones of Fox, Clear Channel, et al awaken the masses, show them their role and their true friends, and inspire them to heroic struggle against minorities and the uniparty.

Bannonist-Leninism isn't dead yet by a long shot. Trump's seen better days, but Republicans have no one nearly as good in the bullpen.

[Blake]

How about we start here:

"The Trump Organization appears to have overcharged the Secret Service for stays at Trump-owned properties by agents protecting the then-president. The charges exceeded the government's approved rate, according to the House Oversight Committee, which says Secret Service records show payments totaling over $1.4 million."

"WAAAAAHH WAHHHH MY GROCERY BILL IS TOO HIGH!!!!!! "

I agree, we should do something about grocery chains and food suppliers monopolizing and driving prices up.

"No don't do that."


All you guys know how to do is . You don't care about solutions, you only care that the overall narrative is that we're living in a scape and your emotional support Trump is the only one who can save us from it.
