Space Gopher posted:Roundup Ready crops weren't created through hybridization and traditional breeding techniques. The DNA sequence for the modified enzyme they use that's not inhibited by glyphosate was originally isolated from Agrobacterium growing in a herbicide production facility, which was then modified for plant expression. You can make an argument that it's "more natural" than plants that make bacterial toxins as pesticides, because it's a modified version of an enzyme that's already present in the plant cells, but Roundup Ready couldn't exist without the same production techniques. Is there a convenient breakdown of the different technologies used to produce different commercial crops by e.g. their economic value and/or market share? Seems like it would be a fairly clear metric for measuring how misleading the "GMOs are just like selective breeding" argument is. And again: I'm not arguing that GMOs are bad. I think GMOs have been, apart from all of the stupid patent/IP issues, an overwhelmingly good thing in terms of food production. I just think there's a lot of meaningful discussion that ends up getting squashed because it gets condensed down into a political issue for which the only articulable arguments end up being "GMOs good" or "GMOs bad".

Even if you take this at face value, what it's actually showing is that wind energy is reducing natural gas consumption, which is an advantage in virtually every way, even if you've got your head up your rear end about climate change. Not burning a resource is better than burning a resource.

Burning things is so much more manly than a bunch of spindly widdle windmills though. We gotta re-frame green energy as something more along the lines of wrestling energy away from the Earth by force or something, finally make toxic masculinity do some good.

Discendo Vox posted:I am swamped and do not have time to dig in on this, but from the legal regulatory side of things, this is the USDA site for the "BE" foods law that covers GMO labeling in the US. It's pretty easy to parse. Like under the potato data the first "BE Event" is X17, and by following the FDA review material you can see that this pertains to Rpi-vnt1.1, but there's no way (as far as I can see) to tell what proportion of the potato crop this represents, or group "similar" events--e.g. other cisgenetic modifications. Or in the corn data they say that in 2017 32% of the corn crop globally was BE corn. So you can say that roughly 2/3rds of commercial corn is conventional versus about 1/3rd BE. But you can't determine what proportion of the BE corn was transgenic. Or whatever.

SubG posted:Unless I'm missing something I don't think you can pull the kind of data I'm talking about out of that. You can see each of the BE "events" the FDA has reviewed, but as near as I can tell there isn't any data on how much of the market each represents. Yeah, no, just illustrating what the legal definitions are for GM activity in this area. I don't have a source handy on marketshare. I should note the linked rule, which occupies the space, is seen as ridiculously industry-friendly to the point of being a farce that lets companies very easily bury a GM food declaration where it's required. I simultaneously think that GM fears are unrelated to the much more limited realistic concerns over the subject, and that the rule is an absolute joke.

SubG posted:I stand corrected. Yeah, there's a lot of middle ground that gets erased because you have anti-GMO anti-science nuts on one side, and, well, the fact that the vast majority of GMOs are in the hands of major corporations on the other. GMOs are neutral, in and of themselves. As with virtually everything else, it's how they're used and who they're used by that determines whether they'll be good or bad for people, and in my case, at least, my only issue with them has ever been that whole 'corporations' part, and the tendency of less than ethical behavior that goes with it.

Ah but see Ramirez is two steps ahead. He knows Biden will be forced to abandon those policies and return to open borders, because Biden's supporters will be infuriated at his actions the same way they were infuriated when Trump did these things, and will demand he cease them. For Ramirez's cartoon to look foolish, we'd have to have liberals and leftists defending what Biden is doing, and that would never happen.

Dr. VooDoo posted:Has Biden actually even done anything with immigration or is this just Ramirez being a racist rear end in a top hat? Biden has proposed a bill with massive reforms to immigration to allow a path to citizenship to current undocumented immigrants, higher immigration limits, shorter application times, and allowing migrant workers to have citizenship status. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/02/18/us/joe-biden-news.amp.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Citizenship_Act_of_2021 It’s literally the biggest opening of the borders and softening of immigration hardships in forty years. (Which isn’t saying that much in its own, as it hasn’t been since the ‘80s that anyone has tried to make immigration easier in this country.) skeleton warrior fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Feb 23, 2021 |
