we should eat less beef

Somehow we import more than we export too. Not a lot. But still.

that's all you got? 100 largest land owning families is the size of Florida. That land should be distributed to everyone...nobody deserves that much land! :argh:

So you missed the line: "This is America. We don't share land here."

can you type NSFW or something before posting that?

No.

By the way: Here's the list, of the Top-100 landowners in the US, and a lot of them are liberals. And conservative. Or, they are above such designations.

We might not LEGALLY share land, according to the written laws we're governed by, but given that land it's all attached to the same planet we live on, that statement rings a bit hollow... and stupid.

one man with a single shot rifle telling a few dozen to get off his land! Imagine that same statement if he didn't have dozens of sheriff's deputies, lawyers, courts, county clerks, and elected officials to fall back on.

and of course whether a member of the top 100 landowners is conservative or liberal doesn't matter to me; you should know that.

but I think to the extent they're holding that land as fallow, or in as close to a natural state as possible, they might as well keep it. It's not the greatest of our problems right now.

usa area/usa population = 7.233 acres per person


your land/(7.233 acres * number of members in your family) * 100 = your landowning success score.
your beef (in units of cows)/(0.285 * number of members in your family) * 100 = your beef-owning success score.

don't forget the private family owned timberland to be taken back - power to the people! Not sure why they're separate - maybe the families only own the timber rights, not the actual land.

Personally, I'd like to see at least half the cow pastures redeployed for high speed rail that only serve vegetarian fare.

You're wound tighter than normal these days. Why?

Most of the US is wound pretty tight right now.

I think we've still got Proud Boys vs. Antifa in Oregon

Gradually feeling the stress of a collapsing society maybe... it's just like a background noise right now. But I feel it.

"both sides clash"... except one side is going out of their way to organize and travel long distances to fight the other where they live:

Violent protests between the sides were common during the Trump administration, as anti-liberal groups would often travel to cities like Portland and Salem to engage in the conflicts.​

Yeah, well, you know what sustains me, no matter what. I'm fighting back, rather than "feeling the stress."

It's Andy Ngo - weren't we talking about if he's an unbiased reporter or if he's more right wing mouthpiece? I don't recall why there was concern about his leanings.

C'mon, MC, that sword has two edges. Do you think all the people who protested in the summer were local to their communities?

it's not the same, not even close.

BLM/George Floyd protestors did not organize online to travel to cities to fight people who lived there.

Wake me up when a bunch of Detroiters form racists blogs, get in big pickup trucks, and drive out to Brighton or Howell and try to murder people there by running them over. Would be a first...

No, they organized online and traveled to cities to set fire to federal and municipal buildings and hurl supplied bricks at police cars, loot, et.al.

People draw a clear line between MLK Jr and Malcom X today, but I imagine protesters were all lumped together by lots of people as it was happening.
