In the last year or two we've finally hit a point in the United States where the price, availability, and reliability of solar assemblies makes solar farms cheaper and more reliable than fossil fuel plants, and where individuals could get solar panels installed in the roof of their home or business for the cost of a used car.

This tariff throws that progress away. So much for the Biden regime's stance that market mechanisms will solve climate change.

It is also worth noting that of that 900 million acres, only a portion of it goes towards food for humans or livestock. Most of the corn and soybeans grown are used industrially for ethanol, lubricants, acids, starches, and rubber. We also grow things like tobacco, medicines, and cotton, which may be needed, but are not food. A significant portion of corn is also traded as a currency "commodity crop" in a market I don't understand at all.

If I recall correctly, roughly 40% of farmland is dedicated to food production for livestock, and 2% is dedicated to food for direct human consumption. So assuming you already have all necessities, and only need food without any change to an average american diet, we may need as little as 1.05 acres per person, following your math.

Just had to inform my sister that Trump's biggest challenger in the Republican party is not, in fact, a woman named Rhonda Sanchez.

Me going to "work" vs me going to hang with the comrades.

Yeah, Tulsa happened about 3 months before Blair Mountain.

Also, I always dispute the fact that it was "just racists" in Tulsa, because we know cops and national guard were on some of the "private planes" and where did the bombs come from?

I was recently referred to as "The Old Bolshevik." While that made me proud, I know in my heart I am too much of a liberal to wield that moniker

I aspire to be a fraction as cool as either.
