Retired risk manager at JP Morgan Chase. Structural iron worker, steel mill rigger. Anarcho-capitalist libertarian. I enjoy making fun of collectivist sheeple.

Philosophers whose English writing skills are absolutely appalling: • Immanuel Kant • G.W.F Hegel • Martin Heidegger • Jacques Derrida • Jacques Lacan Am I missing any?






🚜 Farms in the south are struggling: 78% of Southern farmers say they can’t afford all required fertilizer this year, the highest of any region.  The South is exposed for two reasons: crop mix and pre-booking behavior. Just 19% of Southern producers pre-booked fertilizer ahead of the season, vs. 30% in the Northeast, 31% in the West, and 67% in the Midwest.  Cotton, rice, and peanut growers, largely concentrated in the South, barely locked anything in before fertilizer prices skyrocketed. Only 13% of cotton growers and 9% of peanut growers pre-booked.  Those are also the most fertilizer-intensive crops on the board. Rice runs $1,308/acre to produce, peanuts $1,166, and cotton $943 vs. $658 for soybeans and $396 for wheat. U.S. farm sector losses have exceeded $50 billion across the past three crop years. Nearly all (94%) farmers say their financial situation has worsened or stayed the same vs. last year. Farms are getting squeezed.









Who else believes that the assassination attempt on Trump was a typical staged event—calculated for the average American & designed to boost the rapidly plummeting approval ratings of the peacemaker, as well as to justify the construction of a costly ballroom in the White House?
