The forum rules prohibit it.  A moderator has already posted a reminder in the thread.

 

FWIW, I think there is a difference between specifically debating politics and Maddie reporting on her experiences/fears and answering questions (thus the leeway). However, in this case, the posts that were moved were related to immigration, health policy, etc.

You can ask me on the transgender q&A in the current events section. It was made for that.

 

I'll look it up myself.

I'm going through a lot of things but particularly as a trans person in the United States I'm contemplating the election of somebody whose platform is specifically anti-trans. I'm trying to figure out how to get out of this country. Disappointingly a lot of people who I thought understood or had my back don't seem to get it.

 

And dont worry Maddie ... SOME people here HAVE HEARD what you already shared with us .

 

Still, I am wary and suspicious person . . .  thats just me I guess   ?

well at least it has the bonus of sea salt.  Btw. I heard or read somewhere that bugs like cockroach's won't eat certain GMO foods,  they know better than some of us humans do....

As with so many other things, I prefer to go old school with my insect eating.  Modern-breed insects pushed on the population by climate alarmists? No, thanks.  Oaxacan crickets fried up according to a centuries-old recipe with lime and chile?  Si, senora.

People say money doesn't grow on trees.

 

But food does and yet we still have shortages?

There's not any shortages. The issue is with distribution.

I'm learning basic farming & have thoughts on this.

 

"Everyone wants to be a lawyer making $100k / year."

"No one wants to get their hands dirty pulling weeds."

"Except me."

and all the people who DON"T want to become a lawyer  

 

- during the supreme court case I was involved in I heard that a few times , including from lawyers ; " You should have been a lawyer !"

 

Me;  " No I should not have , as i would never want to ..... live in a concrete box in a city with 'spectacular' views of other concrete boxes in the city . Have so many possessions and  gadgets to look after  and play with  that I didnt have time to play with as I was always working to pay for the  toys I bought that I didnt have time to play with ,  having to go somewhere else to take a holiday .  Feel like I am in a packed cattle yard , every time I go out on the street .  have to deal with idiots while calling them 'my learned friend' ..... 

 

I could go on and on ...

Many farmers are retiring.

 

With no one interested in taking over their biz.

 

There are some food items that are grown in reduced quantities every year for the past 50 years.

 

Food production is actually somewhat deflationary afaik.
