Dude with bare feet is hardcore - fear of the state? Hell no - he doesn’t even fear hook worm!
But seriously- we are learning a lot about their tactics of control… seen a lot of dudes in plate carriers with sneakers on … huh.

Damn!!!! I used to pride myself on investing gear I found at Goodwill- Edan bass cabs, Leslie speakers, early Yamaha reed organ, wild Japanese keyboard radio combos from the late sixties, silvertone guitars, Yamaha and fender Amps - but you have me beat by a long shot!

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

Probably- but the Italian people got hundreds of thousands/millions to strike for Gaza and the rights of the flotilla…
Being part of the EU gives me hope for moderation as apposed to the unaccountable rogue state with nukes we have here. (And I am half Italian).
