In other news
In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.
I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.
Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.
BREAKING NEWS!!
Klaus Schwab Resigns as Chairman of WEF.
This is a big loss to the DS/NWO/Global elite cult. This guy was not on humanitie's side by any means.
He was already planning to lock down the world during the next pandemic.

While agreeing Schwab is an extremely nefarious individual who should never had any power over our lives, WEF power is grotesquely overstated by opponents usually, and anyway it's about who takes his place, there isn't a scarcity of evil people to draw from
Inflation is a bitch
That's the best thing happening from inflation that I can imagine.
Yeah, let them burn.
If fast food restaurants didn't exist, I wouldn't have ended up the living embodiment of Shrek.
There was a Hardee's (Carl's Jr) right next to my high school and I bought more Monster Burgers and curly fries on my drive back home every day than I care to admit back in the late 90s. I carried that habit with me after high school but replaced them with McDonald's breakfast sandwiches and double cheeseburgers.
My rock bottom was some morning in maybe 2018 or 2019 and the manager working the McDonald's drive thru on 66th and North Avegave me my two Sausage Egg and Cheese McGriddles and said, "See you tomorrow!"
I have not been to a fast food restaurant since that day. I went keto and bottomed out at 220 or so, but looked like a dying cancer patient. Forever cursed to be big, but no longer fluffy.
Ron DeSantis’ ‘war on woke’
bridges can only be illuminated in red, white and blue this summer
“Thanks to the leadership of GovRonDeSantis,
Florida continues to be the freest state in the nation,” Perdue wrote on X.
The order bars any bridges from carrying rainbow colors for Pride Month
That's just good sense.
If you let the alphabet mafia advertise on bridges, you have to let other fringe groups do it, too.
nature is healing (and the right ofc was right about those DAs being bat **** crazy even for democrat standards)
The best part is someone on the Desantis team was tweeting about how pro freedom it was….to only have certain government approved bridge light colors allowed lol.
yes freedom is when the use of public property is decided by the political minority, not the majority

Soros is also going to be announcing a "retirement" or whatever kind of departure similar to schwab. Hopefully this "reveal" won't take as long as schwb's did. I don't think it'll be a heart attack or cancer, because the higher you go they want people to belive their still with us so it'll probably be a sudden retirement. I'll take side action and give it a range of 75 days from today if I was a bettin man.

my mother lives in florida in one of these heavily policed HOA developments, where she had to get permission at a monthly meeting to put an 8inch wide flower bed around the skirt of her house just to protect it from the inattentive lawn care workers who were hitting the side of the house with the weedwhacker.
when i drive through the development i see about 3-4 "dont tread on me" flags.. nothing says dont tread on me like having to go through rigorous HOA procedures to make sure it's ok to fly your don't tread on me flag.
florida freedom is a special breed of "freedon".
Freedom is the freedom to buy into a neighborhood that can set its own rules of conduct and get people to follow them.
Accountability for your flags also means accountability for the rusted piles of **** scattered on lawns.
Some HOAs are run by tyrants, but many are doing exactly what they were intended to. My neighbor built the ugliest fence in the history of mankind. My lawn is full of weeds so I'm not one to talk, but if an HOA existed, maybe both of us would be compelled to behave ourselves.

my comment isn't about HOA's in general. although i do have a buddy that will rant forever on how he doesn't think there is a constitutional backing for them if you are buying a property in fee simple absolute.
it's more about the idea that people dont mind a little boot if it keeps the minorities away. but will still rant about freedumbs. pretty sure those guys quote ben franklin while filling out their little HOA form in order to be allowed to put a lawn gnome along their little sidewalk.
In HOAs you signed a contract limiting the use of the property you were going to buy. You have a freedom to self-restrain your freedom with signed commitment to others, voluntarily.
Nothing to do with other people telling you what to do with your property or your life against your will.
the “millionaires’ tax,” had exceeded the amount it was projected to raise
the few steps that Biden has managed put into place to
get the wealthy to pay up are already paying dividends

idk anything about golden rice. but what little i know about genetically modified plants leaves me with 1 question-
is the golden rice patented and controlled by a corporation that will sue the surrounding local farmers when the genetics assuredly get into the surrounding farms via pollination? which will wipe out all indigenous farming in the area.
golden rice board says "catastrophe" would be a better headline.

I hope you appreciate a large part of the reason for the giant increase in population in this graph is corporations taking over "indigenous farming," so food yields increase exponentially and dramatically less people starve to death.
I mean, if you are on team, "lets support indigenous farming over corporate efficiency so many poor people starve to death," that is fine. But at least understand the endgame of your worldview.

I think there is room to coexist and small farmers should be protected from the example Slighted brings up. Don't know if it's the case here though.

all relevant patent holders forfeited their rights for golden rice specifically
