So you want the “Nordic model” of socialism? Fantastic. Then you also want the parts that actually make it function. You want enormous VAT taxes that hit everyone, not just the rich. You want no national minimum wage. You want a huge private sector running most of the economy.…


NCBA finally pushes back.

.@realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse Cattlemen and women cannot stand behind President Trump while he undercuts the future of family farmers and ranchers by importing Argentinian beef. It is imperative that @POTUS and @SecRollins let cattle markets work without interference. If the…



Absolutely true. Economists knew what would happen. When the government ignores the experts the people suffer from the consequences.

The idea that there's a lack of federal healthcare handouts is the worst kind of disinformation. Subsidies keep rising to make it "affordable" but costs surge upwards to consume the subsidies. Great new report today from Will.

Great new report today from Will.

Combining health sector tax expenditures with federal healthcare spending, the total fiscal cost of federal healthcare subsidies was more than $2.4 trillion in 2024, amounting to more than 47% of all US healthcare spending from all sources.



An excellent summary of our current healthcare system.

Here’s a fun party trick: ask ten Americans whether we have “free market healthcare” and watch nine confidently say yes. Then show them this: - Employer Coverage: 160M Americans - Medicare: 67M (seniors + disabled) - Medicaid / CHIP: 72M (low-income + kids) - ACA Marketplace:…

JFC We actually have an anti-biotechnology month.

🦋 It’s Non-GMO Month! For 16 years, October has been a time to celebrate steps toward a better #foodsystem rooted in #biodiversity, #sovereignty, transparency & trust. Look for the Butterfly and keep choosing change. 🧡

This is applicable in the USA as well.

CONSUMERS pay extra for organic food, on average 75% more. But TAXPAYERS are also footing the bill through higher organic farming subsidies, even though most ordinary taxpayers can't afford organic food. Who pays for organic? It's a fair question. scienceforsustainableagriculture.com/pearsalllittle5

We live in a bountiful country. While other countries’ citizens don’t have enough calories; citizens here complain about having too much safe affordable food.

In rich countries, people spend less than 10% of their money on food. In poor countries, people spend more than 50% of their money on food.

If Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders both agree on something, run as far away from that idea as you possibly can.

"Root cause" discourse is silly; it's also wrong. The root cause of obesity is eating too much. The total amount of 'eating too much' needed to explain the obesity epidemic is one McDonald's Cheeseburger a day. No poisons or toxins or diseases, society just got richer.

On this day in 1954, the Miller Pesticide Amendment was signed into law, requiring the establishment of limits for pesticide residues on food crops for the first time. Today, a pesticide cannot be used on food crops without a set residue tolerance. Learn more about pesticide…
