I would argue that subsidies encourage monoculture because it's difficult to obtain subsidies for something not easily categorized in a government document. Corn and soy definitely wouldn't be as popular if they weren't subsidized. They are rather low grade nutrition. The small, multi-faceted farm makes the most sense, but they currently can't compete against the subsidies. And the subsidized farms can't continue without government help. Probably some stuff I'm missing but it's like saying big banks couldn't survive without the bailouts. You'll probably find this outsider explanation annoying as I'm not a farmer but I do have family members that grown gmo corn and only do it because they are subsidized.

I totally agree. We simply don't have capitalism. We have fake capitalism and it rightfully gets blamed for how shitty it is. It's cronyism, socialism, oligarchy with a capitalism facade.

Absolutely. Then there's using the war excuse to turn on money printers to the max. We could really go on and on. We're not even close to capitalism.

Also not having our currency tied to anything of value.

Capitalism would work way better if we didn't have subsidies. Really shitty agricultural products are subsidized so it makes organics too expensive. Then there's the big corporation bail outs, the stealing of our wealth through inflation and taxation. Then there are prohibitions imposed by lawmakers pushed through by lobby groups. 'm thinking we've never experienced true capitalism in the US. At least no one in the past 100 years.

I'm back to the "I know longer trust any government official" camp. And for the most part don't trust Trump anymore. As people here say, "it's all a movie."

I really don't get this. If white hats destroy the country and not the Democrats, aren't they the ones to blame?

First of all I think he might be a vegan. So he's already drank the koolaid. Another thing- I was curious and listened to his story on another podcast. The guy is joyless. He's always hungry and eats the same meal every day. He is battling his instincts constantly. Plus he's always hooking electrical gizmos up and probably blasting himself with electrical radiation. I'll take my hubris over his martyr misery anyday.

All you have said is true. I never said he couldn't do such things. I really believe God or evolution, or both, whatever you want, got it right when we were given hunger and cravings. To disobey such things is a stressor. You could argue cravings are bad but only because we allow them to be hijacked by the poisons of the industrial food manufacturers. We should listen to them and satiate ourselves with whole foods. You mention his money and his science. Top scientists are also responsible for vaccines, chemotherapy, and the latest greatest medicine. They also advocate for seed oils and other crap. He has all the money and science and tests but in the end the little old lady who eats spaghetti and drinks whiskey is going to end up outliving him.

Maybe his blood transfusions are working for him but hopefully his kid is not a vegan.

So this guy I understand does calorie restriction. I heard him say he's always hungry. Which means his body has to create glucagon, cortisol and adrenaline to break down fatty tissue and muscle to convert into glucose. This is called neoglucogenesis. This is an acute stress that the body can go through to get the energy it needs but if you do this all the time it becomes a chronic stress. I would wager money this guys testosterone and other hormones have been down regulated. I don't think he's going to do what he's trying to do. Eat fruit, meat, raw milk, eggs, avoid seed oils and don't be a weirdo about food.

What would be the desired result of faking a burn? Whose minds are they hoping to change and towards what idea? Doesn't seem like a big event and most people don't care.

If you want to know why keto and fasting suck and destroy your body, this podcast is great for all things health related.

Seeing the video in slow motion, you could draw a vertical line along the right edge of the building and it never seems to brake that perfect edge. A compromised foundation would cause it to keel over. Not drop perfectly straight down.

Maybe he'll wait till there is a need to crash the market again before firing up the money printer.

Didn't Trump give Israel $38 billion? That didn't help things either.

In September 2016, the US and Israel signed a 10-year MOU providing $38 billion in defense aid to Israel through 2028, making it the largest such aid package in US history.
