unfortunate that many residents in the southwest did not carefully consider their biological dependency on an alfalfa cultivation input before moving into or being born in the region

Ever since they put a pig heart in me people have been very cavalier in attributing my behaviour to the heart. I am enjoying bigger breakfast after a light dinner last night, not "giving into the pig".

If you didn't inherit a parcel of land to farm you work in construction, a factory making windows or RVs, or you leave your community to be able to afford some land.

And what's even more ironic... the Amish near my hometown are suffering from high farmland prices. No corporate interests involved. It's a matter of high birth rates, limited transportation for religious reasons, and too many in the community trying to farm.

Even in the US, our nearest analogues are the various flavors of Anabaptist communities, Hutterites. Not a life people would choose if they weren't born into it.

If you were to look at the rural communities the author envisions, where you have lots of people engaged in agriculture, these generally are not prosperous and productive places. The heartland of China, smallholders in India. There's a reason the countryside is emptying out.

"so, look: I don't really like the masked men shooting people in the street. but your transit and education platforms were, frankly, lacking in detail. and I might just have to sit this one out!!"

do you hear yourself?

A bluesky post: think of me as someone who has something - a vote - that you, the politican wants. How will you get me to give it to you? I might give it to somebody else! I might stay home! I might forget! What are you doing to delight me so thoroughly that I try to be first in line to vote for you?

You are voting for the race gestapo or against it. Voters with a 4th grade reading level understand this now. This is debauched, consumerism slouching in the guise of justice.

hard to speak to what a typical puerh is like. drink around and you will find many highs and lows

puerh is incredibly diverse. more than any other style of tea. ripe / raw, young / old, HK / MY / TW / KM / XSBN stored, dry / wet storage in whatever locale, boutique / factory, Yiwu / Menghai / Lancang / Lincang... infinite variation
