The WORLD is waking up to the importance of FARMERS which the left are trying to destroy. I am glad that people are finally taking an interest in where their food comes from. I do not believe that a Nuclear threat is real BUT if the threat of one wakes up people from their slumber....
But food is at the grocery stores, not farms you silly person
Our many adult children and grandchildren are some what fixated on our produce. Bigger, Better and Tastier. One small step....
You're correct and Holy shit what a fucking dumb world we live in when people by default don't have an understanding of the Supreme importance of farmers.
Have serious farming friends, BUT turning our 1/4 acre garden into a very productive space has left us in awe of their hard wok, talent but most of all patience and TEMPERAMENT. Weather, insects , rats..
Prices fluctuate and we just hope we get money enough to pay input costs— exorbitant— and have enough to pay mortgages, TAXES, repairs, machinery, hired help, living expenses. Farmers have a stressful job. They work weekends at planting and harvest, long days. Weather. Droughts, rain deluges, heat, cold.
When i was a teenage, maybe 40-45 years ago, one of my cousins (Debbie) had small homestead where they raised the majority of the family's food. My cousins sister (Vicki) refused to eat Debbie's farm fresh eggs because "they came outta a chickens butt". Both girls were raised in a small town, Debbie moved to the country and Vicki to the city. I don't think it was a case of intelligence as much as no exposure to the country on Vicki's part. I've watched my own kids and their peers and have decided its our own fault that they missed the boat on what rural life is all about. Many life skills have been lost.
If we can't withstand any of that, the rest of the world sure as shit can't, either. One thing I always tell my kids is that [they] have to live on this planet, too, so maybe a couple cities get vaped, but the world isn't gonna burn due to nukes dropping. There's no amount of food or water [they] can stockpile that will see [them] through a few millennia of radioactive fallout, nuclear winters, etc.
True, but a high altitude EM pulse would paralyze the US, they would then just wait a while for it’s citizens to tear themselves apart before taking the US over by force.
Mom, is that you? Haha
Ahh, duh! There is no way to prepare against a nuclear attack! Give us instructions Newt... tickets to your bunker perhaps?
The first thing this author does is slam the other author for not ever having gone and actually met small town folks. Then he goes on to talk about small town folks without having actually met small town folks.
This doesn't deal with the real problem. Rural America is completely economically dependent on Liberal urban America
The US has a massively socialist/redistributive tax and spending system which takes loads of money of liberals on the east and west coast and gives it to rural white conservatives
People can moan and whinge all they like, but until rural white America learns to stand on it's own 2 feet economically and stop taking massive handouts from liberals nothing is going to change
People don't like hearing this, but we need to put away the begging bowl and pay our way
