If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

What's your stance on home lawns and golf courses?

The Yuma area of Arizona only produces lettuce in winter as the Salinas Valley isn't capable of producing veggies on the level needed for the country that time of year. Other than that, lettuce and most other veggies are from the Salinas Valley 3/4 of the year.

On golf courses, it's the number of them which is obscene. Also, seeing it's only the wealthy who are able to use them is another frustrating part. City sports fields are open to everyone while many golf courses have memberships. The amount of water it takes to upkeep a course is wild but doesn't compare to ag for sure.

A 1/4 lb of beef takes roughly the same amount of water the average American uses showing for more than a month. Which blows my mind on soo many levels.

Water is life and we need to make moves to protect it. Thank for the work you do! Do you think charging cattle farms appropriately for water and removing some golf courses is a good place to start?

No outrage on my end, more confusion. Sure, veggies take up water and at scale it adds up. But once it's understood that 3/4 of all grown crop is for livestock feed, it really puts the drastic impact of meat into perspective though.

The coverage on BRICS is heavily dependent on where you live. If your in the US or an allied country, it's best to keep it quite I'd think

I mean, some of the top brass in AI are asking for all AI development to be paused so this can be discussed in more detail. But the request seems to have fallen on def ears or money hungry corporations, at least one of the two for sure.

Of course, their rule is stronger without a middle class.

To stop it would require universal basic income (UBI) and, at least in the US, that won't fly. AI has the ability to free us all from our corporate chains and allow us to do what we love/want to do with each day. But there's a reason the day MLK was killed, he'd just finished giving a speech on the importance of UBI.
