Is Trump adding an export tax? I thought that was unconstitutional
Do we grow rice any where in the US?
My grandparents were still the type of people who did not buy vegetables. There was a garden in summer and a lot of canning at the end of it.

I think my parents were of the first generation that worried about grocery bills
Can I bitch about how much I hate canned Green Beans for a moment? They don't taste like actual green beans. Least when my mom started growing green beans, she would freeze them

People acting like the stock market of the 2020s is exactly like the stock market of the 1920s despite a century of growth and regulation. The 20s stock market was done in back rooms with chalk the 2020s has robot traders and think tanks carefully (and filled with gay aids) consider every move. The 1920s stock market involved drunk young novu rich pissing money into the wind on speculations of stocks. The 2020s stock market involves titans of industry and the government investing. It’s still gambling but it’s a world of difference. Like the difference of a dice game in a project vs black jack in Vegas.
 
That's a retarded argument and you know it, don't play bullshit games. The price of milk is almost entirely controlled by logistics costs. American dairy farms dump out close to 3 million gallons a day, that's just gone not reused or repurposed. Just emptied onto the ground or into pits. We make way more than we need, and a hell of a lot more than we can realistically move around/keep in storage. So what do you do with the milk that needs a special refrigerated truck to transport for processing and distribution? Nothing you either pour it out or start killing cows to lower daily production. The cows don't care if the truck didn't come today to pick up yesterday's milk, they still need to be milked twice a day.

I understand that people think food grows on cargo ships and in grocery stores but it pains me to see shit like this, especially when I don't think it's bait. Kiwi's remember to educate yourselves on logistics, procurement and distribution, it's very important in regards to making good investments.
There's a bit more nuance to that.

In Canada the dairy farms have a quota system that ensures prices stable because the amount of milk being produced is close enough to current demand to not jack up prices or have an oversupply, as dairy production is set based on the number of cows producing milk and changing the number of cows has a long lead time. If you raise enough new cows to produce a thousand gallons of milk and by the time the cows are old enough to be milked the demand drops, you're screwed.

The American system is to produce as much milk as possible and if there's an oversupply the government subsidies your milk, giving a strong incentive to always have an oversupply.
 
My honest question is this, if it’s fine to post this here, what does the US have to gain by funding Ukraine’s war? I’ve asked both the Slav Zigger thread and the hohol thread, neither thread really gives a satisfactory answer.

The US gains nothing by Ukraine being whittled down by Russia. Ukraine loses more as the war goes on because they literally are running out of people to prosecute the war.
This entire war really does come off as Biden and other politicians being pulled in because they use Ukraine to launder money, some boomer delusion of Russia being the Cold War USSR, and some gay ethic blood grudge from people like Victoria Nuland and Vindman.
Well I mean the goal of funding Ukraine is to help them prevent their country being taken over and hopefully have a better bargaining position against Russia when working out a peace deal.

Whether you think that's worthwhile is a matter of opinion regarding if you think stopping Russia from expanding into other countries is a problem that should be stopped or if you think it's just nature taking its course.
 
It's likely just usual firings, but if this is tied to the NSA gooner chatlogs in some way it would be cosmically relevant poetry happening again. Glow in the dark gooners infesting the Internet as of late.
This guy was the head of the bureau that were hiding the Epstein files according to a whistleblower, he sent an email to agents after Trump won saying they needed to dig in and fight.
