Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.
When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.
They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.
In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.
The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.
We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.
@freakytj If they had a player on the Apple TV that worked as well as Infuse I would be all in but because I have to switch to Infuse anytime I want to watch something with full quality, I’m out.
California gave ONE nonprofit $1 BILLION.
To put solar panels on poor people's roofs.
You know how much solar they actually installed?
$72 million.
That's it.
So where the FUCK is the other $928 MILLION?
I'll tell you exactly where.
The same nonprofit that WROTE the law that gave them the money ALSO got the contract to run "community outreach."
Same guy runs the nonprofit AND the program. Chris Walker. Two paychecks. Look it up.
And their SISTER organization — same building, same staff, same donors — is a 501(c)(4) that endorses Democrat candidates and runs door-knocking operations in the EXACT SAME NEIGHBORHOODS.
Connect the dots, idiot.
You pay $7.50 a gallon for gas.
Cap-and-trade takes a cut at the pump.
That money flows to "climate justice nonprofits."
Those nonprofits funnel it into Democrat get-out-the-vote machines.
You. Are. Funding. The. People. Who. Are. Robbing. You.
Every time you fill up your fucking tank, you're paying for a Democrat campaign volunteer to knock on a stranger's door and tell them how amazing Gavin Newsom is.
$928 MILLION.
GONE.
And not one journalist in this state asked a single question until @jennyraeca and CAL DOGE pulled the receipts.
You think this is the only one?
There's a hundred more like it.
This is how California works now.
This is how a "blue state" stays blue when only 48% of the voters are Democrats.
Wake the fuck up.

You're not gonna believe this, but Gavin Newsom's new "free diapers" program is yet another corrupt NGO money laundering operation.
Kelly Sawyer runs Baby 2 Baby, an LA charity that provides baby gear to poor mothers. If you go to an LA private school, you get solicited to donate to it every year (and I have).
Newsom announced he's giving $20 million to Baby 2 Baby to give new mothers free diapers.
Only, he's not giving it directly to mothers in the form of supermarket vouchers or gift cards -- he can't do that, because then Kelly Sawyer's Hollywood producer husband Jamie Patricof wouldn't be able to funnel this money back into Newsom's presidential campaign.
Jamie Patricof, you see, is one of the top donors and campaign bundlers for the democrats in California. He's the son of venture capitalist Alan Patricof, one of the biggest bundlers for the Clintons. Jamie took over for Alan, who's 94.
Newsom is giving $20 million of our money to his close pals the Patricofs' pet "nonprofit." How much is going to get kicked back to Newsom's campaign? How much do the Patricof's get?
This plan is more full of poop than a newborn's Huggies.
The woman who runs Baby2Baby - the NGO that will be funded by state money to deliver on this promise - sits on the board of Gavin Newsom’s wife’s company.
This is just graft hidden in plain sight.
Try going on Disney owned ABC and saying that Michelle Obama deserves to be a widow.
Or Jill Biden. Or Hillary Clinton.
You’d not only have your show canceled, you’d be banned from network media for life.
And I’d agree with that. Because wishing death on a woman’s husband is an evil thing to do.
No matter the politics. So why is it ok for @Disney owned @ABC to allow Jimmy Kimmel to wish death on Trump and his supporters time and time again?
It’s not. It’s indefensible. Fire Jimmy Kimmel. Enough.
