@TheNotoriousMMA Ok. No spite intended. I couldn't believe you were going to fight again due to your previous injuries and we just knew it was not going to be good for you. This may be a hard lesson but you have so much more going on for you. Take care of your health from now on.
With Love🌹
@ronsterd89 $100 and $125 but landlords were older-we did maintenance-storm windows winter, air units summer, mowed, shoveled snow & painted, occasionally drive them around but it was worth it. Heat included. Electric was $5-15. I made $8/hr- hubby maxed out on SS in 9 mths.
Both ins cheap.
@Still__Wiz@GuntherEagleman You mean both parties & they are using the same playbook.
Like Dianne Feinstein. She was a Democrat who represented California in the Senate for over 30 years until she passed away in September 2023 at the age of 90.
Marietta GA doesn't want a data center-there is a hold until Dec to do research. Developer Chuck Clay defended the facility, stating it is a necessary step for technological growth."This isn't a data center. This is a transmission of information center." What is the difference?
@EricLDaugh What? No qualified architects, engineers or inspectors? Wasn't the junk steel tested? Bet none of them can even read a basic blueprint. Glad it failed now and no one was hurt.
@BeardedHodl@AaronG179686@NobleOne And, from the looks of it, she never read any history books to the end either but sure quick to let AI do her research to debunk it - 😁
The most consumed fat on earth began as an industrial waste product. Here is its rise, told in its own marketing.
1858: "Cottonseed is toxic waste. We can barely give it away."
1899: "Clean it up with chemicals and it makes a fine soap and lamp oil."
1911: "Package it as Crisco. Tell the housewife it is purer than lard."
1950s: "Animal fat clogs your arteries. Switch to vegetable oil for your heart."
1980s: "Put it in everything. Bread, crisps, biscuits, baby formula, the lot."
2000s: "Anyone questioning seed oil is a crank. The science is settled."
2020s: "Why is the whole nation suddenly inflamed, fat and metabolically ill?"
You: noticing that a bleached by-product of the cotton and soap trade was rebranded as the healthy fat, poured into the entire food supply, and the nation’s health declined on schedule.
The evolution of school nutrition.
1906: "Feed the poorest children, so they might learn on a full stomach."
1944: "Every child shall have a proper hot dinner. Meat, vegetables and a pudding, guaranteed by law."
1946: "And a free bottle of milk. Every child, every morning."
1966: "Twenty-nine grams of protein a meal. Fresh meat three days a week. These are the standards."
1968: "Milk's dear this year. The secondary schools can manage without."
1971: "Take it off the little ones too. They'll survive."
1980: "Bin the nutritional standards altogether. And we needn't feed most of them at all any more."
1988: "Hand the kitchens to whoever bids lowest. Cheapest wins, quality optional."
1990s: "Why serve fresh meat when a turkey twizzler costs half as much?"
1999: "A four-year-old apparently ate better in the 1950s than today. Anyway, moving on."
2005: "There are legal nutrition standards for tinned dog food. There are none for school food."
2020s: "Why does every child suddenly have the attention span of a goldfish?"
2026: "One in three children leaves primary school overweight. Truly baffling."
You: noticing that the hot, guaranteed, meat-and-milk dinner your grandparents got by law was quietly legislated down to a chip and a shrug, one budget cut at a time, and wondering aloud why a nation that swapped the fresh meat and the full-fat milk for sugar and seed oil is now baffled that its children cannot sit still.
Nectarine farmer in California is giving away his entire 125,000 lbs of ripe nectarines to the public for free
He says Big Agriculture in California has made it impossible for him to harvest and sell his nectarines
You can go pick for free from June 29–July 3, at 21500 E. Parlier, Reedley, California. 7am-10am
What’s happening is a handful of large marketers and packers dominate, they are squeezing independent growers
Direct-to-retail attempts often get countered aggressively. The big companies severely undercut farmers like this to drive them out of business
Cesar Mora is a Reedley, California native and proud Central Valley farmer with over 30 years of experience working the land. For the past three years, Cesar has been locked in a legal battle with Giumarra Brothers Fruit Co. (Fresno County Superior Court, Case No. 23CECG03466) that has prevented him from selling his nectarine crop.
Giumarra claims ownership of the variety of fruit Cesar grows and has sued him for breach of contract. Cesar disputes both their ownership claim and the validity of the contract, and is fighting back by suing Giumarra for fraud and misrepresentation.
While this battle plays out in court, 125,000 lbs of fresh nectarines sit unpicked and unsellable. Last year his entire harvest went to waste. This year Cesar is giving it away free to his community rather than watch it rot again.
Legal battles are expensive. Cesar needs your help to continue fighting for his livelihood, his orchard, and his family. Every dollar donated goes directly toward his legal fees as he stands up against a corporation that is trying to take everything he has worked for.
Please donate, share his story, and help us make sure no nectarines go to waste.
