Jeff Bezos: "Any corporate or Amazon CFO could find 3% (to cut) in Federal budget on a Tuesday afternoon" to fund zero taxes for bottom half/poor. "This is a skills issue" calling out administration and management incompetence in Federal government and local NYC city school system (He is also calling for higher wages for teachers while cutting outlandish admin budget)

Effectively all growth in corn production over the last 20 years is for ethanol. ~20 million acres of conservation land, grassland, and soybean rotation was turned into corn monoculture that effectively strip mines the topsoil. Meanwhile it’s the most fertilizer dependent crop with only a 40% uptake rate. So ~1.7 million tons of nitrogen runoff flows into the Mississippi basin annually while also polluting their own water supplies. This runoff ends up expanding the Gulf deadzone, which is also where 40% of domestic seafood comes from. It’s hard to find a worse way to create fuel, with a wicked level of waste and downstream consequences.

So happy for everybody involved. Hard work paying off.

Big problem in our politics and culture is downwardly mobile zoomers and younger millennials who don’t realize they grew up rich.
