Crime "Control the food supply, control the people."

People get worried about Bill Gates check out what the Mormon church is doing.
 
and it would feed you for how long?
Its a cute idea and fun, but it aint really helping.
If its to battle starvation sure everything helps, but for people in the west its more a fun thing than anything.
You cant grow enough to sustain your self or your family.
IIRC the average consumption of potatoes is +70Kg/ person and year.

I didn't say it could replace mass agriculture. I just said is something to consider to have a bit of an edge against Mr Joe Schmo if push comes to shove

I'm deeply concerned about our food supply as a whole, but I'm pretty short on the claim that not being able to waste water or polute the environment is the problem. To say I'm deeply skeptical of the claims coming out of some conspiracy theory rag would be a massive understatement.

Unfortunately the market and the american people have spoken. They want cheap, heavily processed foods, sold to them by as large a corporation as possible.

If I had a small farm, I'd start focusing on specialized produce or cannabis.

The only part of that which is true is that the American people want cheap food. Aside from cost there is also the convenience factor. A lot of people feel they have little time to spend in the kitchen preparing meals in their hectic lives, especially if they are not particularly comfortable in the kitchen having little experience with cooking. That's unfortunate as most people could become adequate in the kitchen with but a little effort. As for convenience, meal prepping on a Sunday can make for easy nutritious meals throughout the week.
 
The nesscities of life make the supply and demand curve inelastic; therefore the only way to stop monopolies controlling those aspects of life - and thereby you - is through collective action which manifests as regulation.

A brief look at history makes this plain.

The irony here is the TS carries water for those who want to deregulated everything which cedes control of your life to monopolistic capitial capture.

I could go on for an eternity about farming in NZ and how it relates but it pointless if you don't understand the point I've made above.

The Mormon church has over 1.7 million acres of land that it holds. They are second only to the Emmerson family in land ownership. Bill gates has 288k acres.
The LSD church's overseas tax shelters is eye opening in and of itself. Turns out you make billions when you have spend decades garnishing at least 10 percent of your church goers wages and investing into land and business which operate tax free.

Here, in NZ there is an area near my family land (like 12 farms of 1000 acres, a whole valley) that is Exclusive brethren owned. There are a bunch of these compounds in NZ, along with cult owned farms. Google gloriavale nz to get an idea. We also, under our right wing economically libertarian (Chicago style economic "thinkers") sold a bunch of our land to China and Russia. Net result of that deregulation was pricing housing out of the hands of the young (unless your family helps) and the creation of huge dairy corporations which are devouring traditionally family owned farms. My farms are ok because they are help in trust by family and Iwi. But really, we are just another corporate structure that allows families to operate as traditional farms.

Edit; wrote Sunnyvale instead of Gloriavale.

these monsters are very open with their plans. manufactured water crisis maybe?



What's funny though is if you really read this tweet this is a person describing how they've already failed twice and now have a new plan. Why would I think this new plan will actually succeed? If anything this tweet is reassuring in that they clearly don't have any real clue on how to execute their plans.

An organic potato can be picked up at a farmers market for like a buck a pound. Cheaper than that if you don't care if its organic.

A baked potato can be cooked in the microwave in like 5 minutes.

That's cheap, convenient, healthy and it can be made to taste good with as little as butter and salt.

But Americans have spoken. They want poptarts, cool ranch doritos, and monster energy drink... and they want to buy it at walmart.

cannabis licenses are very difficult to obtain and in reality youre way behind the eight ball if youre trying to get into the market now. Large private equity funds and venture capitialist have been sitting on infrastructure, branding and distribution networkd for decades now awaiting legislative change. In fact, in the US they donated to politicians who push the change through legislative bodies and are now getting thier backs rubbed.

Doubled bake your potatoes you monster! I agre though, I currently have my nephew staying with me and I'm teaching him to cook. Basic sauces first and in the space of a month he's a pretty decent Italian chief and can make a super nice dinner in 15mins.

The key, imo, is teaching Mise En Place.

This. People can spin it into some global conspiracy, but the reality is plain. Decades of crony capitalism has lead to these corporations wing able to squeeze out competition and restructure a multitude of industries into oligopolies or monopolies.

There was a candidate in 2016 and 2020 who wanted to act on stuff like this. Of course he was “socialist” so all the same people banging on about Bill Gates and Lizard people didn’t care what he had to say

Its beyond frustrating to me that the youtube educated latch onto convoluted conspiracies to explain phenomena for which the answer is staring them in the face.


Follow the money.

Licenses are not that hard to get. I helped a friend get licensed. If you can handle a bit of beurocracy, read a bit of legalese, and write at a high school level you can get a license without even hiring a lawyer. And we did that before chatGPT could write half of what you'd need for you. Hell today an AI could probably read this stuff and explain it to you as well. Real estate is the biggest challenge in that industry (at least in my market) and farmers already have real estate.

Small businesses competing with larger businesses will always be a challenge but that's as true of apples and corn as it is of cannabis. If you're going to have to compete anyway, might as well do it for the $500 - $ 1000 a pound crop instead of the $2 a pound crop.
 

Here's a few headlines from various sources to get you started on seeing the bigger picture. They're going to squeeze out smaller, local farmers to make way for a monopoly of corporate owned agriculture. Once that happens (and largely already has), you're at their mercy. One way in which they do this via the government is to write laws (part of the climate change scam) making it problematic for farmers to process their products, because the processing plants get closed due to emissions regulations.

Biden Advances Agenda to Eradicate Farmland in Preparation for ‘Synthetic Food’​



Bill Gates is the biggest private owner of farmland in the United States. Why?​



It isn't hard to see what's happening, but, as well already know, the bots will cheer this on. They want to be slaves.

If you can, and have the means, buy your food products from local, small family owned farms. Avoid the poisonous corporate junk. You can make a difference.

Damn! So you're in favor of decomodifying food?! You don't want the food supply to be controlled right?? So I appreciate your support in getting rid of thr profit motive in the food industry. Welcome my based comrade.

That is what you're talking about right? And not some wack job conspiracy nonsense?


..right?

I'm talking about in NZ. Super hard to obtain here. Should have made that clear. I've tried

I also looked at investing in dispensaries in the states. Those licenses were stupid hard to get.
:(
 
I don't trust the Republicans either.

The elite are making moves to control all of our food sources. Beware.

Gotcha... I've got that thing where I just assume everyone on the internet is American.
No worries, I was not clear. I'd love to tell you about pot growing in NZ and how it relates to farming, in particular iwi owned land but can't without incriminating myself...
