@trukb22 Do you think we'd willingly be eating here if we weren't paycheck to paycheck?
English
@NealMastel Yes but with the confidence that both the celebrity and God are on your side.
Maybe it's no different than paying for marketing 😭

@farmer_average Doesn’t intercessory prayer work at the rate of chance though?
English
You can pray for free. You don't need a celebrity prayer app.

@CropInsBatman 🤔That job might line up really well with my winter free time😊

@GrainStats Who knows what they mean anyway. I was basically covered, but I usually leave 20% open at the going into the season, especially cause prices were already too high. As soon as this whole situation broke out, I got on the phone and secured the last of it at still higher prices.
English
@farmer_average ahhhhhh, then it was a small minority
then implied 25%->20%, have *not* secured fert
that makes more sense
of course, when they first came out with it they should have said 80% but that doesn’t rile up emotions as much as 20%
English
in 4 days Farmers went from 25% to 80% bought? 🤔

Futures IQ: A corn farmer wants to lock in a price for their harvest to protect against a price drop. What is their typical hedge?

Never seen anything like it😲

@farmer_average @dcjams The economic benefits go far beyond landowner payments. We’ve added two dozen families, built a new high school from the equivalent tax revenue, and provided a multi million dollar shot in the arm to the local economy during construction. Literally every promise has been kept.

Do you want to be right or do you want to be effective?
My golden rule for clean energy: customize the message to the room.
Some audiences respond to "climate." Others prefer "environmental protection" or "conservation."
Meet people where they are. 🎯

@Mike_Zakrzewski @dcjams Interesting. Around here, economics is an incentive only for the landowners getting rent checks. Everyone else suddenly becomes concerned about beauty, birds, noise, ability for young people to rent farmland, etc. Include their land and suddenly they see it differently 🤷
English
@dcjams This 100%. When we talked with folks in my county (one of the "reddest" counties in Neb.) about building a wind project we focused almost entirely on economics. They weren't at all interested in hearing about the environmental benefits.
Ten years in now, no one is complaining.

@BrianWillott @stationmum101 I'm overwhelmed with all the "improvements" I could be/"should be" making and sometimes I'm just done with it all.
English
@stationmum101 It's a great question, and I don't have a great answer, but I think people are just afraid to try sometimes, they don't want to make a mistake.

@SimpleHedge_App That strict diet of chicken, rice and creatine can give a guy a temper.

Je suis agriculteur et la principale raison de pourquoi je met tout le temps des gants c'est que madame a pas spécialement envie de se faire trifouiller les entrailles par des paluches de troll des cavernes.

@kulmweatherman I bet I know how my Republican congressional delegation will respond if I call to complain.

This has been the grift all along, it's just getting more obvious -- and it's fucking pathetic.
Anyone who spends even the smallest bit of time in any market knows I'm not wrong.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

This is not a functional economy. I would also probably major in healthcare if I was a young person entering college.
Eddy Elfenbein@EddyElfenbein
Healthcare jobs accounted for 77% of all the new jobs created over the last two years

@ckleene I did not realize at first that either would be appropriate 😝

@ckleene This is how I committed with my junior high crush.
