The UK controlled Iran's oil for decades getting 84% of the profits. When Iran tried to take it back in 1951 The CIA & MI6 launched a coup. They overthrew democracy, restored the Shah, and secured the oil. That's the real history they don't teach.

It is now illegal for most American farmers to do what farmers have done for 10,000 years. Save seeds from their harvest to plant next season. Four corporations control over 60% of global seed sales. Bayer-Monsanto. Corteva. Syngenta-ChemChina. BASF. Over 80% of all corn and more than 90% of all soybeans planted in the United States use patented biotech seeds. Farmers sign licensing agreements that prohibit saving, replanting, or sharing seeds. Every season requires a new purchase. Seed prices have increased over 300% since 1995. In the 1990s, most farmers saved a portion of their harvest to plant the following year. Seed companies genetically engineered crops to be resistant to specific herbicides, most notably Monsanto's Roundup Ready system. The seeds worked. Yields improved. Farmers adopted them rapidly. Then the patents locked in. Monsanto deployed a team of private investigators to audit farms suspected of replanting patented seeds. They filed over 150 lawsuits against American farmers. Settlements and judgments totaled over $23 million. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Bowman v. Monsanto (2013) that patent protections extend to self-replicating technologies including seeds. Farmers who had planted one crop with patented seeds could not legally replant the offspring of those seeds. The biology of reproduction itself was patented. Today, the four largest seed companies spend more on intellectual property enforcement and patent filings than many of them spend on R&D for new crop varieties. The consolidation of the seed industry is one of the least discussed monopoly structures in the global economy. Corteva (CTVA) was spun off from DowDuPont in 2019 as a pure-play agricultural sciences company. They control roughly 20% of the global corn seed market and are the largest seed company in the Western hemisphere. Revenue exceeded $17 billion. Operating margins are expanding as they shift toward higher-value biotech seeds and crop protection products. The pricing power comes from the fact that once a farmer is in the Corteva seed ecosystem, switching costs are significant because crop protection products are designed to work with specific seed genetics. Deere & Company (DE) sits at the intersection of the seed monopoly and the equipment monopoly. Modern precision agriculture requires Deere's GPS-guided tractors and automated planters to work in concert with biotech seed prescriptions. The software layer that connects equipment to seed to data is becoming the most valuable part of the farm. Revenue exceeded $51 billion. The precision agriculture division is growing faster than the equipment division. For broader agricultural exposure, the Invesco DB Agriculture Fund (DBA) tracks a basket of agricultural commodity futures. When seed costs rise, crop production costs rise, which supports higher commodity prices. The farmers absorb the input cost increase. The commodity market passes it to consumers. The companies selling the seeds and the equipment capture margins on both sides. The seed monopoly is a toll booth on the global food supply. 8 billion people eat every day. Four companies control the genetics. I'm hosting a once in a lifetime webinar where I go over the exact things I know as a former banker and world class investor. 100% free to join.

why is there actually, legitimately, discourse around reading speed right now “8 hours to read a book is slow” “you should be able to read a book in 3-5 hours” bro we are in a literacy CRISIS, i do not care how fast or slow you read a book, just pick one up and read it

The rusty patched bumblebee used to live in 28 states. Now, it can only be found in 5. It was the first bee in US history to be listed as federally endangered. It disappeared from yards, gardens, and farms across the eastern US because we replaced the flowers it needs with lawns, and then sprayed what little was left. Three plants can bring it back: bee balm, coneflower, and wild bergamot. All native. All easy to grow. You might not see one, but that's the point. Plant the flowers anyway.

i lead bird tours for bryant park sometimes and gotta say i'm actually enjoying this viral bird news cycle. people staying respectfully back, sharing accurate information, even engaging with the conservation concerns. and getting excited about a native bird! it could be way worse
Noel Y. Calingasan • NYC@nyclovesnyc

New Yorkers and tourists are flocking to Bryant Park to get a glimpse of New York City’s hottest bird this spring, the American Woodcock. These elusive, well-camouflaged birds pause during their migration to forage for earthworms, presenting a unique urban birding opportunity.

Israel wants to destroy this because they have no culture, no history, no roots in soil, and they detest with a vehemence those whose presence in the world spans millennia of development, contribution, architecture, beauty, art, poetry, science, and monuments for the world to feast their eyes, minds, and hearts on.
Persian Girl@Persianserene1

This is my beautiful country, Iran These are not just Iran’s national treasures, they also belong to humanity, as they represent a 2,500 year old civilization The sad reality is that many of these sites are being damaged in strikes by the US and Israel, which is heartbreaking…

The horrors happening in Iran and Lebanon are happening because of what the world is allowing to happen in Gaza and the West Bank. The Zionists are emboldened by silence. Silence is tacit approval. SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.

The prevailing myth in America is Native Americans were a handful of uncivilized savages living in an unpopulated wilderness. That’s wrong. These complex routes making up Indigenous trade networks look a lot like today’s highway system which were in many cases built over them!

Everybody hates wasps… until they disappear and your grocery bill explodes. Wasps visit over 960 plant species. 164 of them depend completely on wasps for pollination, including figs. But pollination is almost the secondary story. Wasps are the planet's exterminators. All wasp larvae are carnivorous. 95% of what wasps feed their larvae are leaf-eating caterpillars. Without them, crop destruction and pest populations would be biblical. The insect you most want to kill is quietly holding the food chain together. Before you reach for the spray, ask yourself: is it actually bothering you? Or is it just there?
