But this guy in particular can't be fully human. Swims in sewage contaminated water, eats roadkill, has dead brainworm that's probably controlling his mind. He's also like one layer of skin away from being one of the nightmare things from "They Live."

Oh that makes my day

I think you might have missed the point of my story.

Farmers were the engineers designing these things. Because that's all the kind of farmers there was.

Now we have Factory Factory farms, but there are still some small farmers doing this stuff. We don't have many true farmer/engineers left. And it's bad for all of us.

There's a theory in my family.

You have true farmers, then you have factory farms. Factory Farms are not just for animals. They exclusively produce cash crop, they exclusively optimize profit, they also do hardly any of the work themselves. They'll be in a combine, sure. But combines are quite literally automatic nowadays, so it becomes a second office where they're negotiated deals and labor and contracts and taxes.

The true farmers on the other hand? Way back when, before Monsanto and Tyson, farm communities took care of specific jobs for specific farms because one of those farmers found a really good way to do it, or is just much more efficient.

That left a little more time for each of the farmers to work on something they were skilled with, or do a hobby even.

Guess what was a popular hobby amongst farmers? Electric Scale Trains. These farmers also invented and designed and engineered a lot of these tools and equipment, because they had to repair their machines quicker than a service tech could come out.

So you get robust engineering out of a Farmer. Then the Factory Farmer comes in and says "Hey, I got a friend named John Deer who could mass produce these, and the non-presceint Farmer said cool."

BAM innovations stifled.

Zelensky, the whole of Ukraine, and the rest of Europe should have at least wisened up with the fact that Trump doesn't honor agreements.

An agreement with Trump is worth the air the sound vibrated though. Banks know this, his former employees know this, anyone in the neighborhood of Trump property knows this.

If anything, the systems that were negotiated are already secured, if I had to guess, already en route and out of US transportation. Zelensky just needs to pump up Trump's ego, just to make sure the ships carrying the equipment still arrive and aren't sunk by the US Navy.

The Heritage Foundation counts on a lack of help in natural disasters to claim lives too.

The declaration really can't be highlighted like that. It undermines the gravity of the letter, but I understand people don't like to read.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.

Essentially, they say that people are willing to endure suffering for the sake of not having to change their lives. But Then it follows that with

But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism

When all people can no longer ignore that the government is forcing everything to have an absolute ruler, the people will come to the conclusion that the government must end by force.

While a lot of people agree with this, it's not enough. When I go to work, everyone is still going about their day like nothing has really changed. Too many people still have shelter, food, and medicine. That's about to change now. And when people experience that, that is the time they will overthrow.

The reason they want revolutionary violence to occur earlier than later is because they still have the opportunity to turn the most brain washed against the rest of us.

It also doesn't last all day, much to my dismay.

Can we just call ICE "Gestapo?"

It gets the point across and is way scarier

Cookies aside, that was a fucking amazing read.

Well that makes a few of us with that opinion

The Heritage Foundation members have stated a population around 100million would be healthy.

If 75% of Americans were culled (remember the number supposedly "saved") that ends up being near 100m or killing 258m.

65m Hispanic ancestry? 48m Black Americans? 6.5m South Asians? 5m Ethnic Chinese?
