   That doesn't make his claim any less factual, and we have no idea if he gave money to Trump.

   I’ve read Frank and this framing assumes there is an objective definition of self interest usually economic and that other priorities like culture autonomy or distrust of institutions are just manipulation. What stands out is the asymmetry

    First, I'm sorry you have to do that, it's not right. You blame your skin color for other problems, conflation.

    Ok who defines monopoly? I know there is a textbook definition, but it's still somewhat subjective. Also the US won't do this if it creates a international competitive disadvantage.

    Not true, energy is cheap in the US. Politicians rise and fall with energy prices, fossils fuels are still cheaper. America (outside of California which is not governed by the GOP) has some of the cheapest energy costs of competitive countr

    This whole thread (up and down) is why a lot of people like me don't do any of this mental gymnastics to 'lower my footprint'. It's exhausting, I mean if I bike to work today, that offsets that steak I ate. Just no (just

    Switched from Windows to Macos years ago after work gave me a macbook pro. As life long ThinkPad red nipple guy, I love it. The finder is the one thing I think Windows does marginally better with Explorer.

    Isn't that still biased towards people who want to record themselves? One problem in this entire thread is "US Farmers" in one group... The industry is too big to lump them all into one category.

    I'm not sure the definition of "family" farms, you can have a family name corporation that is still $100M+ in value. Even then I have no idea who all of them are. My family farm is small enough they alone cannot support a ent

    Well the first thing is removing identity politics, especially in replies or discussions. Also, not viewing it as "Come to my side". This isn't star wars, rebellion vs empire.

    You are wasting your time I think. The people here know who the right people to vote for are, anyone who thinks otherwise is voting against their interests. There is only one comment above that says that both rural and urban people do the s

    I live in a a rural farm land area, the only time I hear racist remarks of any kind is online, usually towards white cis men. Just an anecdote, but IMO progressive liberals are some of the most racist people I've encountered. I have fa

    Can urban liberals please tell us how to vote? You can come and help our fingers push the buttons. Seriously, do you think this works? Do you think urban people living in poverty vote against their interests as well?

    It really depends on the farm, unlikely it will be used for anything else. 90% likely what would happen is an adjacent farmer would buy the land. You want all your land to be near each other, like defragementing a hard drive ;)
