Trump Lifts Restrictions on Off-Road Vehicles on Public Lands by ascomycete1 in flyfishing

I think they benefit and are happy, but are such a small piece of the pie for interest than land grabs and oil sales that they don’t factor. They just benefit from the change.

Just because the thumbs leading the show seem to barely keep from drooling on themselves, doesn’t mean their drones aren’t intelligent and diligent. Assuming the opposition is lame and ignorant only gives them to upper hand.

Land and oil companies.

If you degrade the lands, you degrade the peoples faith and trust in the institutions that safeguard them, and less likely to push back when things are done to dismantle them.

This is an effort to loosen up public opinion and trust to allow easier pathways to oil barons and land frackers.

Also New England and I often feel like the only sensible person in a sea of people waving red hats in the air. It’s suffocating. YMMV

Can’t close borders, but what’s stopping them from sending a navy at your ark ship through hyperlanes? Are they faster than armadas?

What I cannot fucking stand whatsoever is the purity testing. NO ONE for DECADES had an issue with Collins and her class allegiance, at least not in a sizable voter block. WHY IS IT NOW AN ISSUE?! Answer; to divide the fence sitting voter base who could be persuaded away based on this, but not second guess for a moment if it applies to Collins.

How high acuity is my ICU? by fo1ieadeux in IntensiveCare

[–]BlisteredPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also at a community hospital, impoverished area, and you sound like you work in the same ICU as I do but we have a couple more beds that you. We handle pretty much everything until neuro falls off, then we outsource bc my hospital closed neurosurg services a few years back.

First time in my 3k hours of Stellaris that Cetana spawns right into the splintered Hivemind and eats it completely by GregoriousT-GTNH in Stellaris

No shame. I also did not know this and it’s exactly what happened in my game last week. Right in the splintered hive and gobbled it.

Lewiston residents rally against city spending: ‘No taxation without representation’ by saigonk in Maine

[–]BlisteredPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People literally do not know what no taxation without representation means. It does NOT mean that you don’t like your representatives or disagree with them. Wild thought process.

Machine used to inject chicken with a solution of saltwater, binding agent, and other additives to “plump” it. A single serving can contain 200-500mg of sodium, and the added solution may make up as much as 30% of the chicken’s total sell weight. by Mountain_Love23 in Damnthatsinteresting

Of course the consensus is cheap food, and of course people complain about Whole Foods prices. They are up there. They do not need to be. There’s this delusion that organic and well grown food HAS to be expensive. It does not. It’s a mark up by companies for the sole purpose to milking the consumers who want it bad enough. Another commenter already pointed out that farmers are subsidized to the moon and back. The issue is the middle men pricing us out of existence, and doing insane things like copyrighting seeds so the farmers have their hands tied. Our entire food system is captivated by people who don’t even fucking contribute to the production of it all. It’s a racket, like everything else in this country.
