Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
When people show you who they are believe them.. not paid his council tax, not a fully registered hypnotherapist, suggested he could magically grow women’s breasts, not a Red Cross spokesperson, failed to work for MOT (acted a part) & we’re probably only just getting started!
WARREN BUFFETT: "I can end the U.S. deficit problem in 5 minutes."
"Just pass a law that any time there's a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."
🇺🇸BREAKING: Someone placed a $920 million crude oil short at 3:40 AM.
70 minutes later Axios reported the US and Iran were close to a deal.
Oil dropped 12%.
The trade made $125 million in profit.
Minutes after that Iran launched the “Persian Gulf Strait Authority” and oil surged 8%.
$760 million placed before Trump’s last announcement.
$920 million placed before this one.
Every major announcement in this war has been front-run by someone who knew it was coming.
What kind of war is this?
This is more like a trading desk with an army.
Never stop connecting the dots.

@OctopusEnergy Smart meter connection issue once again….. Any plans to upgrade your meters to WiFi connection rather than relying on a patchy cellular network that’s going to be switched off sooner or later?
@MrJamesMay@CalumDouglas1 I did the same thing to my RD200 back in the early 80’s, as I was meeting my mates down the pub and it blew en route. Worked splendidly and no fire thankfully
🚨🇪🇺 Brexit WOW moment 🇪🇺🚨
The Brexitgraph Telegraph published a full-blown obituary for Brexit:
📉 GDP down up to 8%
📉 Investment down 18%
📉 Productivity down 4%
📉 Employment down 4%
❌ No trade benefits
❌ No control of immigration
❌ No regulatory freedom
❌ No upside whatsoever
Do you agree it’s time to end Brexit?
They want you to stop eating beef while:
- Flying avocados from Mexico
- Shipping quinoa from Peru
- Importing almonds from drought-stricken California
- Buying soy from cleared rainforest
Your local beef from cattle eating local grass with zero food miles is somehow the environmental disaster.
The cognitive dissonance is staggering.
