  • This is the thing that I literally do not understand. Self-segregation is the stupidest shit.

    A coalition of independent farmers or farmers with a specific agenda is much better than dividing shit by race. Race is the least meaningful way to divide people.

    My wife is black, but she’s not stereotypical American black. If she owned a farm she could be on this list… and she has zero roots in the historical american bullshit. She’s literally an immigrant who pulls six figures in the corporate world. Most of the people of her cultural background are trump supporters for some stupid fucking reason (they think trump will only deport the “other” POCs, not their own, surely THEIR brown people are better right? Morons.)

    If her trump loving copatriots registered as "black’ farmers they could be included in this list… and by buying through them we’d be supporting the establishment no less than if we just went to a mega-corpo grocery store.

    I’m all for supporting businesses and groups that are doing something positive for the community or at the very least are trying not to actively make things worse for people but blindly “buying black” is stupid. I’d much rather buy from a fucking worker owned co-op farm that is politically aligned as far away from hate as possible.










  • HQ wise: Musk exited to Texas.

    Oracle is in Texas.

    Microsoft is in Washington.

    Amazon is in Washington.

    Google, FB and Nvidia are in CA.

    The tech bros don’t want to hire people in CA because salaries are too high. They do because that’s where a lot of coding talent is, but they also tend to have offices all over the world and produce as much work as possible offshore where labor costs are minimized. It’s why basically nothing is manufactured in CA, let alone the US. When things are manufactured here it’s almost always in places that use the $7.25 federal minimum wage, not states with a $16.50 minimum wage or where transportation costs are prohibitively expensive compared to local labor.


  • Every major decision in this country seems to end up going the way the wealthy want.

    They definitely want this to have maximum punishment to deter copycats.

    This will never happen. You won’t find a jury in the country that will unanimously give a not guilty verdict. Best case is a hung jury twice in a row leading to a mistrial. Worst case they find one of the loopholes that lets the judge decide or they unanimously declare him guilty.

    They don’t worry about all the school shootings because their kids go to private school which is a big reason why nothing is done (24 private school shootings vs 392 public school shootings for the past 25 years or so.) The working class families are the victims, so nobody in power really cares beyond lip service.
