All of America's farm acreage is treated as a single giant food factory, with various assembly lines turned on and off as necessary to ensure sufficient supplies of each crop. Farm subsidies exist to keep farmers solvent when their crops aren't needed and control the supply when they are. Free markets don't work with farm products.

LeeMajors posted:This is more common knowledge than the Swanson thing but I really enjoy that he got his start as a bowtied dickhead punching bag for a limpdick neolib to poo poo down his neck nightly on cable news. The best part of about Jon Stewart annihilating him on TV was that is also derailed the careers of Paul Begala, James Carville, and Robert Novak, who were all his co-hosts on Crossfire at the time and Tucker got obliterated so badly that CNN basically instantly cancelled the show.

This one is still a good idea if you have the moon to launch from. just launching into orbit from earth would have required dozens of small nukes if not hundreds. You can get up to a pretty modest percentage of C with that method if you have the right materials for your pusher plate, and thousands of nukes.

Farm subsidies exist to keep farmers solvent when their crops aren't needed and control the supply when they are. Yeah but it is all owned by individuals or shareholders. Its market manipulation with public funds in an rear end backward attempt at post hoc central planning, but it isn't 'socialism'. The workers do not own the fields or have a say in how they are put into production. Crumbskull fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Oct 30, 2020 |

This is a common thing with elected representatives in the US: one is their personal account and campaigning, one is for official House/Senate business. Then there's some people, like Chuck Grassley, who use one account for both, meaning his announcements about Senate business come from the same source as him going to the Windsor Heights Dairy Queen for u kno what.

I think a project called Excalibur was part of Star Wars/SDI, it would have used nuclear bomb powered lasers in space to shoot down missiles carrying nuclear bombs.
