In a full-blown trade war, both sides lose. That's obvious.

Yes, it is.
But there are first and second losers.

In China, economic problems would lead to who knows what.

Tianamen Square ?

If the Great Leap Forward with its mass starvation (most likely the worst in human history) didn't lead to a change, you seriously think that a few export problems will?

Doesn't mean they will stop him this time. You can't keep counting on other people to save your ass.

There are approximately 3,000 billionaires in this country and they are sick and tired of all you God damn consumers pushing them around.

They have decided capitalism has to go. Not all the power and prestige they obtained from it just the capitalism part.

It's a brave New world and there's no place for you in it

He didn't show up to the debate because he could only hurt himself at the debates. The news media covered for him. It's called sane washing.

We let the billionaires buy all the media and now we are fucked. It's not even a matter of being a low information voter you have to be an ultra high information voter in order to have the slightest fucking clue what's going on in the world because the news media actively lies. Not just Fox and newsmax and oan but CNN and even MSNBC get in on it.

Mainstream media in America is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the US Republican party and approximately 6 to 10 billionaires.

Personal responsibility all the way. The victim is always responsible. She shouldn't have been wearing all that sexy clothing right? Never mind that she was 13 when you did it...

You will make a fine member of the US Republican party. I mean if your skin color is correct. Otherwise it's off to the camps with you. Oh and better not be gay or better be really good at hiding it.

Dude you can literally just Google the phrase which pesticides are allowed for organic farming.

Also Jesus fucking Christ is this a bot or llm writing this crap? How the hell do you opt for less pesticides? Do you tell the girl at the drive-thru to hold the pesticides? Think critically and Google competently.

Food co-ops are great if you have one at a reasonable distance but if you're in a big city you could be looking at anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to drive to one the same goes with farmer markets.

It's still doable if you know how to cook and freeze and store but it's harder to do that than people really give it credit for. I mean yeah you can make edible food but it takes a lot of time and unless you are a good cook it's going to taste like crap when you pull it out of the freezer eventually or uncan it.

So unless you've got a largish family it's probably not worth the wear and tear on your vehicles and gas and all the time spent prepping the food.

The most common place I see people doing it is when one of the spouses loses their job and just plain can't find another.

Then the original Halo is kind of mid.

Big open and extremely dull level design. It only seemed super cool back then if you were a console gamer because it was the first modern first person shooter you got your hands on and the first one you could play online for a lot of people.

But it's basically the Street fighter 1 of console FPSes. An interesting curiosity but nothing you would ever want to go back to.

The world has gotten worse for anyone that works for a living and better for anyone who owns shit for a living.

And every single year I've heard more people freaking out about trans girls in sports or violent video games or all these gosh darn immigrants or any one of a million things that have nothing to do with the 50 trillion dollars that have been taken out of our pockets and put in the pockets of the 1%.

I am so fucking tired of stupid mother fucker is falling from moral panics. And I am so fucking tired of being made to compete in an endless race to the bottom because it's so easy to trigger tribalism and bigotry.

The funny thing is and this is why you are all so fucking stupid, if I mention tribalism that's cool and I can get modded up but if I mentioned bigotry that's not cool and I get modded down even though they are effectively the same thing in this context.

Do you notice how easy it is to manipulate you? And I'm just some dumb fuck on a dead website. Imagine what a billionaire with focus groups can do.

Comment Organic does not mean pesticide free (Score 4, Interesting) 20

It means there is a specific list of pesticides that are allowed. If you're eating organic you are probably paying more to get more pesticides. Which I guess strictly speaking is appropriate since if you're going to pay more you are to get more...

I guess what I'm saying is don't waste your money on organic. You literally cannot avoid pesticides. And the pesticides used on organic are still definitely not good, potentially worse and as mentioned you are going to get a higher dose because they have to use more of them because they aren't as effective.

Honestly if I could have cheap food I would be willing to accept pesticides more but lately the price of food keeps skyrocketing as ownership of farmland consolidates but I still get all those pesticides.
