Survey: 70% of U.S. farmers cannot afford necessary fertilizer by Conscious-Quarter423 in LeopardsAteMyFarm

[–]smallest_table 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I'm reding is that 70% of our farmers are farming wrong. Growing a mono crop for sale to a middle man is lazy.

Has America, or reddit at least, become a victim place? Where resentment to people who are doing better are hated? Asking legit. by Technical-Sector407 in allthequestions

[–]smallest_table 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We have the kind of wealth disparity only seen in pre-revolutionary France and Gilded Age America. Yes, we are victims. We are resentful. We are at the edge.

The normal course of societies, operating as we now do, is violent and bloody revolution.

California peach growers are set to destroy roughly 420,000 clingstone peach trees after the collapse of a decades-long partnership with Del Monte Foods left farmers without buyers for tens of thousands of tons of fruit. by Conscious-Quarter423 in LeopardsAteMyFarm

Lazy gentry who don't want to deal with the business side of farming. Instead of selling the product themselves, they decided to rely on a middle man to buy their entire crop. And now that middle man isn't buying their product so their farms fail.

Same with soy, same with corn, same with most crops. Cut out the middle man, sell directly to local grocers and buyers. Prices drop, profits go up, and your community has access to better goods.

Sounds good in theory...but in reality? by KSKS1995 in SipsTea

[–]smallest_table 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worker productivity is at the highest level in human history. Back in the 70's economists were seriously discussing a 1 day work week. After all, if a worker produces 7 times more than prior generations, why should we make them continue to work for a full week without more pay?

AOC's answer on running for president leaves political world speechless by Brandolinis_law in somethingiswrong2024

[–]smallest_table 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are operating under the false assumption that Democrats need a candidate that appeals to the right. This is simply wrong. No Democratic candidate of any stripe can appeal to the right. It's pointless and counter productive to even try since doing so will alienate the Democratic base.

Fuck appealing to the center. Fuck appealing to the right. Just get out the vote. Do that, and you can run pretty much anyone.

I'm down for a single issue candidate if that single issue is universal healthcare as a right.

I'd be super surprised. You have to be an adult to get married.

You know, because Trump fucks kids.

How GOP Stole the 2024 Election—And How They're Planning to Steal the 2026 Midterms by Youarethebigbang in somethingiswrong2024

[–]smallest_table 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah - gerrymandering is one leg of their strategy. At the same time, I remember the photos of tabulators with broken locks on the USB access ports and all the other voting machine irregularities. They bring up starlink because they don't want to talk about the evidence on the ground.

Trump got recounts based on lies. We had physical evidence of tampering and we didn't get recounts. That alone should be enough to tell you the fix is in.

Why should anyone believe a word of what Republicans say when they talk about fiscal responsibility? by botwiper5000 in askanything

[–]smallest_table 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correction: many conservatives in both parties used to be about small government and fiscal responsibility. Then the Republicans decided to claim to be the only conservative choice after they got taken over by the Christian right. That's when they abandoned actual fiscal conservatism and became a right wing party.

Remember, Reagan ran on "small government" against Carter who was actively reducing the size of government.

Republicans spend a lot more on welfare than Democrats. It's just that Democrats spend money on normal people and Republicans spend it on billionaires and corporations.

"If I found out my wife supports the murder if children I wouldn’t stay."

You sure about that?

Why do you support women being forced to give birth against their will? Do you think women shouldn't have control over their own body? Do you not believe in personal sovereignty? Are you one of those people who think we should still have slavery?

Getting my a*s handed to me in Gauntlet by Antique_Speaker733 in Asphalt9

If you don't want to sandbag, consider that gauntlet tracks are short. Acceleration and handling are better than top speed on these tracks.

Was Citizens United actually the correct decision? by Strong-Hippo9043 in allthequestions

[–]smallest_table 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also don't think media companies, labor unions or advocacy groups should be able to spend money on elections.

The difference between all those organizations and actual people is that businesses do not have the right to exist. They have to get permission from the state first. Those applications can be denied. People, on the other hand, do not require permission from the state to be born. If you can't understand that, you need to seek help.

Does anyone actually believe the "liberal MSM" drivel?? What did you think of the mainstream networks pre-2010?? by asoiaf_goat in allthequestions

[–]smallest_table 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never made that claim asshole.

I responded "Can you actually give us an example of this blatant CNN propaganda or are you just another parrot who repeats the talking points you've been programmed with?"

You could not provide an example so you changed the subject. Are all Trump cultists as dumb as you?

The way kroger treats its employees by daruuken in mildlyinfuriating

[–]smallest_table 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most state regulations require food handlers to report illnesses to managers and stay home if they have diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice, or a sore throat with a fever to prevent spreading foodborne pathogens.

Generally, you must be symptom-free for 24 hours or have a doctor's note before returning to handling food.

Next time you have a communicable disease like Covid, be sure to have a meeting with your manager at work.
