There are fundamental reasons that lab-grown meat shouldn't be the foundation of our meat production system.

@rabcyr_alt 1) Congresspeople are not the President with direct control over the executive branch and its decisions.
2) Congress should be banned from stock trading too.

i no nothing about her email server, other than it was rogue.
but what about what pelosi and others in congress have been doing, and nothing happens?
the article says “President Donald Trump personally bought and sold” but then later basically “haha j/k”. i don’t recall pelosi and others claiming that level of distance.

The president purchasing Nvidia shares a week before his own Commerce Department allows them to sell one of our most valuable assets to our main geopolitical opponent is unfathomably more corrupt than anything on Hilary Clinton's email server.

“Trump purchased $500,000 to $1 million worth of Nvidia stock on Jan. 6, a week before the Commerce Department officially approved the sale of Nvidia chips to China.” Insider trading, corruption, treason. Where are the calls for impeachment?

@JamesTimmins @mnolangray One of Warren Buffett's sons is doing just that in a New York town.

@mnolangray Could a single rich person do this? Go to a town and say, "I'll bring $10 million to fund studio space and make housing cheap for this type of person. If you meet me on the other side and do some policy goals"
English
Paducah, Kentucky pulled this off. Attracted artists with inexpensive downtown housing and studio spaces. Funded a bunch of public arts initiatives, including a quilting museum. Turned around decades of population loss, and now one of the most charming towns in the state.

Once again: Broke Artists need to PICK A TOWN in the middle of nowhere and flock to it. Preferably a town that is: 1. Actively dying / hopeless 2. Chock full of DIRT CHEAP housing 3. In a high-minimum-wage state 4. Has some kind of public transit Ogdensburg NY comes to mind. As does Herkimer, Tupper Lake, Malone, Binghamton, and Massena NY. Each has some kind of a local bus, some kind of connection to coach bus or Amtrak, low rent, and crazy cheap property. Literally anyone who wants to live a low-rent lifestyle, making art, writing novels, hanging around in warehouses and cafes, etc can show up in one of these towns and make it work. $16/hr minimum wage, houses for as little as $40,000 (Ogdensburg and Massena) or, on the higher end, $100k (Tupper Lake). STOP being fixated on NYC / Philly / MTL. Just make the leap. I'm already up here. I already paved the way. And if you want it even cheaper come to a village like mine, my house was $33,000. There's a cabin down the road from here for $17,000. You do not need to work a job here, period.

@PatrickHeizer I grew up around Holsteins and that choice of example cow is criminal

I've always been partial to Herefords, not only because they're calm, gentle giants, but also because that's what my grand champion was.

While not zero, if both partners are on modern antivirals, the afflicted one is not in an active outbreak, and a condom is used, the risk of transmission of HSV-2 is exceedingly minimal.
Good for this woman being upfront and honest. I'm certain it's a great filter.

@simonsarris But if we have this level of negativity now, I fear for what happens when consumers are actually hurting.
English
@PatrickHeizer Consumer spending is way up, even on stuff like takeout food
If consumers are actually hurting, they're saying it in surveys and nowhere else. Sounds fake.
English
One of my biggest concerns is the divergence between economic health and consumer sentiment.
If people are upset at what has objectively been a strong economy through the 2020s, what happens when an actual recession occurs?
We might've just started with the economic populism.
Charlie Bilello@charliebilello
The S&P 500 is at an all-time high while Consumer Sentiment is at an all-time low. We've never seen a gap this wide between Wall Street and Main Street.

@AdrianBonenber1 @CandidDevOps Here is the prime age labor force participation rate over the last ten years:

@PatrickHeizer @CandidDevOps Federal unemployment numbers do not account for:
-people who have given up trying to find a job
-students
-retirees
I believe that the politicization of economic tracking has incentivized both Republicans and Democrats to downplay or ignore a serious and growing problem
English
@CandidDevOps Pick your favorite indicators.
Unemployment rate is ~4.3%.
Median household income is ~$85K.
Credit card delinquencies are low.
Real personal consumption expenditures at all-time highs.
Etc., etc.

Probably the worst election results in Nebraska last night were the couple of school bonds that failed spectacularly in rural districts. This is increasingly common in small town Nebraska.

@lars_garr @max_spero_ If you have a chest freezer, buying whole cows directly from a farmer is typically the cheapest way to eat beef.
But yes, beef prices have risen recently and not everyone has a chest freezer.
English
@PatrickHeizer @max_spero_ Its so hard to afford, though. I know ethics is more important than cost, and we did eat this way before we had kids, but right now we are just not there as a family :-(

@BrianMitchem3 Ever heard the adage, "a penny saved is a penny earned?"
The same applies to weeds. One fewer is one fewer.
English
@PatrickHeizer Sure, like to see that one pulled by hand.
On how many thousands of acres do you pull weeds?
English
We have never sprayed chemicals on our pastures. We maintain them through pure mechanical methods.
That means mowing, macheteing, shoveling, cutting, and yes, pulling.
I try to yank a few every single day. You'd be surprised how it adds up.

@planetJoseph I binged the entire DCC last year. It's just simply so fun and entertaining. The newest one came out Tuesday!

Dungeon Crawler Carl (series) by Matt Dinniman This was simply the most fun series I've read in a long time. Carl, the boxer-wearing, Coast Guard veteran and Donut, his ex-girlfriend’s high-end show cat, find themselves an intergalactic gameshow with deadly consequences.
