      STOP CALLING THEM ELITE.

      The word ‘elite’ implies they are societies best. These rich dregs keep dragging us down.

      I keep scrolling the news to see if they know anything new about him, and they know absolutely nothing. It’s amazing.

      If corporations can convince people that Coke is better than Pepsi … or vice versa … then it will just take time to make people forget about all this. They can market and promote any idea … just some ideas are more expensive to promote than others … and it will take them a lot of time and effort to spin this story in their favour … but eventually, they always do.

      I don’t like to admit that people are complacent … but hell, we’ve all got a great track record for it … I hope not this time, but I’ve been disappointed far too many times before.

            I also like food, which is why I hate capitalism

            (Under capitalism it’s profits over people. Profits over feeding people. How could you ever justify food insecurity in a country like the US otherwise?)

            I do my best and buy about half my food from local farmers (and that isn’t easy in northern Ontario, especially during winter) … a bit expensive, but so is buying from the grocery store too, so it works out.

              I live in the suburbs so Sprouts is the closest I get to “local”. I keep chickens and a garden but most of my food comes from Kroger. It is what it is.

              I gotta go to work.

            You can still take steps to undermine the system while your forced participation is taking place. You could try local farmers markets, used goods, and the always fruitful five finger discount.

            Every year I grow more food than the previous year. Someday I’m hoping to grow most of my non-meat items and then fork over the money for local organic meat and freeze it.

              I’m no good with crops, but our salad/salsa garden is successful.

              If you’re allowed them, laying hens are stupid easy to keep. I don’t do roasters because we have a 5 bird limit in our suburb and honestly harvesting chickens is messy and time consuming.

              E: oh, and free range eggs will absolutely ruin you for regular eggs. It’s like the difference in one of your tomatoes and the ones from the grocery.

                Many people do not know this but it is true.

                I’ve had multiple unsuccessful attempts at a garden but two successful attempts with livestock: Pigs and chickens. It’s helpful that they make noise when there’s something wrong.

                +1 for free range eggs. Plus there’s no bugs in your yard. Where I live now I can’t keep chickens but I’m allowed to have ducks, so I think I’ll do that in the spring.

                  We ended up with some Easter ducks and now everyone prefers duck eggs. They are more consistent winter layers too.
