RFK, Jr. is an anti-science lunatic, and any "regeneration" advocates who see him as ally are living in a delusional world. The path to change -- and regeneration -- must be rational, not nutty, predatory and conspiratorial.
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich just delivered a truth bomb about Donald Trump: "He's pathetic. He's small. He's a whiner...He's a damaged man."
@James_Ehlers@cabotcreamery I guess they're still mad that their whistle-blowing employee gave us the internal memo detailing their lies about using rBGH.
Someday the true Ben & Jerry's story will be written, and it will go like this: The investors got rich while the farmers went bankrupt, and down, down, down went Vermont's rural economy and environment. In other words, we paid a lot for "Free Cone Day."
If you think Ben & Jerry's is "dilutive" to corporate profits, wait until you learn about what they've done to #Vermont's rural economy, water quality and family farms. Because there's only so much slick PR can hide. #vtpoli https://t.co/DSxCy9asnl
Let this #Vermont headline sink in: "St. Albans Man Dies After Cold Night." He was homeless, now dead, from the exposure, while our state leaders continue to dither over our housing crisis. It's Vermont Wrong. https://t.co/xy10MdkKPK
Another from the vault (1998), when we began pointing out Ben & Jerry's extensive use of pesticides, antibiotics and exploited labor. And it's only gotten worse, as #Vermont enviros and politicians keep cashing those @benandjerrys checks. @vpirg#vtpoli
@anson_ag More than 40% of #VT's small dairy farmers have gone bankrupt under your leadership because you refuse to do anything about the dairy monopolies that are paying farmers less than the cost of production. #vtpoli
We hate to say we told you so, but....we tried to blow the whistle on this boondoggle in #VT, but the Big Dairy enablers marched on with the very false promises of biodigesters, with more than a little help from the @benandjerrys supported enviros. @vpirg@VNRCorg@ruralvermont
One more mammoth fraud of Sec. Vilsack and Big Ag co-conspirators on the people. Those big, expensive, water-polluting manure biodigesters said to reduce methane emissions? They release more methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. A lot more. https://t.co/J2eRU9Ui2V
There's no better proof that Ag Agencies are merely shills for monopolized commodity production than the fact that 41% of #VT's small dairy farms have gone bankrupt under @anson_ag leadership and he's still defending the system. Heckava job, Anson. #vtpoli
In 2016, when @anson_ag become Ag Sec in #VT, there were 838 dairy farms. Eight years later, there are 496 left, a loss of 342 mostly-small farms, or 41%. But, sure, throw out some crumbs while avoiding the real issues (monopolized dairy!). Sorry, Anson, you're failing. #vtpoli
Another way to look at the #IowaCaucus: Trump pulled a Carter, as in, losing a significant percentage of his own party's caucus voters. In 1980, Carter got 59% of the caucus vote (Kennedy got 32%) and he was considered toast for the general election. Last night..
Sadly, @WDEVRadio has become a caricature of itself, a nest of old, white-man grievances, power elite pandering and an โaw shucksโ shrug at the regionโs economic, cultural and ecological decline. They should have turned the lights out when @MarkJohnsonVT left. #vtpoli#rip
So who's gonna tell @SenSanders what Ben Cohen, his campaign chair, does for a living? Go ahead, Bernie, take him on. And it'll help more than our obesity problem, because your pal's ice cream corporation is also wrecking #VT's waterways and farm economy. #vtpoli#BenandJerry
We must have the courage to take on the greed of the food and beverage industry which, every day, is undermining the health and well-being of our children by pushing extremely unhealthy products which far too often cause obesity and type-2 diabetes.
