OK, we're officially now a country of lazy retards. How could they not see this coming when the lockdowns began a month or so ago?
Give me a day on the phone, and I could've had the trucks lining up to take the stuff. They might have to give it away, initially, but the goob would've paid them on the back end eventually and probably at a higher price than they would get on their own. Do I like that idea? No, but nobody thought ahead.
Would've made for some great PR also. SMART, HERO FARMERS, which they already are, but that would've brought it to light to the dopey masses (TeeVee).
Did anybody just call Kroger? They could've helped, I'm sure. It just takes some forethought and some work (yakking on the damn phone).
Jesus, I'm no genius, but there's always alternatives, now that everyone is so friggin' self-aware, they just expect everything to fall in their laps. Doing the right thing can be hard, frustrating at times and sometimes just stinks. That's the way the ball bounces. Helping folks is very rewarding in the end, win or fail. It is what it is.
Since this WuFlu/financial crisis hit, I've fielded more personal calls in the last month than I did in the last ten years. All of the sudden the guy who told me that I was an idiot for telling him not to buy the $10,000 house that he ended up buying for $50,000 ("The economy's so good, housing can never go down!), is calling me to ask what to do now that the bottom has fallen out of the market. He can't afford the payments.
I told him I see two solutions. Number one, stop all work on the property (the only work that has been done to-date is interior demolition). Let it go back to the bank. You're going to spend $100,000 to have a $50-60,000 (at best) rental unit at the end, you'll never live long enough to see a profit, not to mention the headaches and problems with rental properties.
Number two: Fix the 40+y/o roof before the structure rots away, fix the broken windows, board them up from the inside with some white-painted OSB (so it still looks like a house), put in a ramp and a single garage door facing the alley to the back, some cheap vinyl siding to make it look not so much like a house that should be condemned and use it as the World's most expensive storage unit, you need the space anyway, fat man.
I told you, you stupid f^ck. When you told me, "Everybody's doing it around here and is gonna get rich." You should've known better, I did and I told you exactly why.
Who's the idiot now? At least I don't have to suffer the indignity of shitting in a bucket... Yet.

I remember the goob cheese give away program in the 70s or 80s (don't remember exactly what that (was) about though).
Seems a little less wasteful for goob to buy it up. I don't believe in goob giveaways, I'm pretty sure that's less of a sin than wasting it.
I've never indulged in goob cheese, but I'm on my last (self-bought) pound. I'll miss cheese.

Lod, my man, you may have identified the only mistake Trump has made to-date (which I never thought about before this thread).
Maybe the NG should've been deployed to the farmers to pick and deliver the goods that we're going to need.
I haven't really thought it through, but it sounds reasonable. Bear in mind, I took your advice about the shot, or three, earlier.

Thanks for clarifying, Fred. When you said, "I mean it." I thought you were referring to me being "a retard", not the funny part.
I apologize once again. I've been working day and night to help and console folks lately. I'm not saying that 24/7 BS, nobody can do that.
I know a pretty smart fella down south somewhere that told me, "I've never seen a U-Haul trailer behind a hearse."
I've got no family left, I'm just trying leave a good legacy for my erstwhile family.

Esso's Theory 1: The more garbage you generate, the worse off in life you are.
Esso's Theory 2: If you need more than one of the city's 95 gallon garbage bins, you have way too much money and are stupid or you are illegals trying to turn America into the shithole you came from and should be deported.
Esso's Theory 3: If you call me stupid because I don't watch TeeVee news and you don't ever read the real news (not MSM), I'm not the stupid one, you are.
Esso's Theory 4: Why did you call me asking my opinion if you're not going to listen to me? I didn't call you, you called me. Why do you call me when you're wrong? At that point, I don't really care anymore.

Correct, my favorite (extant) digit-bender friend.
Maybe, I haven't been out since the Indiana lockdown went into effect. I'm just regretting that the panic (lockdown, stay-at-home-order) started at the end of my 2-3 month cycle of going to the grocery store.
Gawd, I don't want to go down into the "dungeon" and see if the 12-14 yo food (freeze-dried) I got for my (late) mom and sister is still palatable. Regardless, this is the ultimate diet plan!
Hope you're doing OK wherever you are.

When we worked concert security in Chicago, I was doing the after show party for Dokken at the Vic Theater.
There were two guys there that were Dokken freaks. I was looking after one of them. I turn around and the other has Dokken pinned against the wall.
He was looking over at me like, "Help!"
So, I got them both out of there. "Alright, you got to meet the band. It's time to go home."
There was this chick leaning against the pillar. Dokken picked up her top and signed across her chest right above her hooters.
We were walking down the stairs together and Dokken stops and turns to me and says, "You know what her boyfriend said, 'Go ahead man. She's good.'"
Then he said, "I don't think so. What would you do?"
I said, "I'll tell you what I would do. I would go and get my Don Dokken mask."
We got them all on the bus and the driver closed the door. Then Dokken came back up front and had the driver open the door. He came off the bus and shook my hand and thanked me personally. Now that was pure class.
The last thing he said to me was, "Get some sleep."
Sleep was mighty scarce in those days.
I told that story to this chick that is in with a certain band and the band gave me a thumbs up on Facebook. LOL

I knew a fag in Chicago who owned the florist shop I did deliveries for. He was married and had two really good looking daughters. He was a millionaire in the early 90s and closed the shop. I wonder how much he lost in the Crash of '08. :-/

The new science of feeding the world | Bill Gates
While traveling last week to Antarctica, I had a chance to read a book recommended by our foundations agricultural development group, Tomorrow's Table: Organic Farming, Genetics, and the Future of Food by Pamela Ronald and Raoul Adamchak. This is an important book for anyone who wants to learn about the science of seeds and the challenges faced by farmers.
Science of Seeds
The new science of feeding the world
What we eat and how farmers grow our food has a surprisingly big impact on our climate and the environment. Tomorrows Table is a book I read a few years ago that offers a window into the lives of a geneticist and organic farmer trying to increase yields on their farm using new kinds of seeds and innovative growing techniques.
By Bill Gates | March 08, 2010
While traveling last week to Antarctica, I had a chance to read a book recommended by our foundations agricultural development group, Tomorrow's Table: Organic Farming, Genetics, and the Future of Food by Pamela Ronald and Raoul Adamchak.
This is an important book for anyone who wants to learn about the science of seeds and the challenges faced by farmers. Its only 167 pages, and includes personal stories that give you a sense of the authors as people and how strongly they feel about farming, food and the environment. I think anyone who reads this book will be convinced of the authors sincerity and intelligence even if, like me, you never try any of the cool-sounding recipes.
Whenever I read about farming, Im reminded how tough it is. Between the weather, weeds, viruses, insects and other pests, farming is a constant struggle, always posing new challenges. A city boy like me can think of it as putting a seed in the ground and waiting for nice stuff to grow. Wrong.
Tomorrows Table is a real education on the many choices farmers today must make regarding seeds. Its very good in explaining genetically engineered seed, how its used today (mostly to help plants fight off insects and tolerate herbicide) and how it will be used in the future (to increase disease resistance, drought tolerance, vitamin content and crop yields, for example). The book separates out clearly the issues of how to make sure new seeds are safe, how to price them and how to treat them as intellectual property.
I gained an understanding of the history of organic farming and learned about some of the very clever ways organic farmers control pests. Compared with conventional agriculture, many organic techniques can be more cost effective for poor farmers. I agree with the authors that we will need the best ideas from "organic" thinkers and from scientists including genetic engineers to feed the world and help the poorest.
Of course, there are more approaches available to farmers than just organic or biotech. Most of the worlds food is grown with conventional agricultural techniques such as improved seeds, fertilizer and irrigation. The trick is finding the best combination of all of these approaches.
I certainly recommend this book to people who are curious about the future of agriculture and the controversies around it. Many other food books exalt localism and tradition (i.e., lack of new science) as almost religious values. I think some go overboard with their negative views of modern farming, giving very little thought to the productivity increases that poor farmers need - and that the world needs - in order to feed itself, while coping with climate change and evolving threats from plant disease and pests.
I wish Tomorrows Table discussed the problem of underinvestment in agricultural research. But the authors personal involvement in what they do write about gives the book a note of deep sincerity. That may help get people who are skeptical or confused about new science, including biotechnology, to see that it has an important role to play.

CHINA SPEAKS
The following is the actual text of a speech delivered in December, 2005 by Comrade Chi Haotian the Vice-Chairman of Chinas Military Commision to top officers and generals. Keep in mind that China has for many years advocated deceiptful and covert warfare against its enemies. This is their Modus Operandi. There should be little question that a Bird Flu Pandemic would deeply excite them. (Dont forget how they have poisoned thousands of American pets and knowingly placed lead paints on toddlers toys.)
Comrades, Im very excited today, because the large-scale online survey sina.com that was done for us showed that our next generation is quite promising and our Partys cause will be carried on. In answering the question, Will you shoot at women, children and prisoners of war, more than 80 per cent of the respondents answered in the affirmative, exceeding by far our expectations...
Maybe you have now come to understand why we recently decided to further promulgate atheism. If we let theology from the West into China and empty us from the inside, if we let all Chinese people listen to God and follow God, who will obediently listen to us and follow us? If the common people dont believe Comrade Hu Jintao is a qualified leader, begin to question his authority, and want to monitor him, if the religious followers in our society question why we are leading God in churches, can our Party continue to rule China??
The first pressing issue facing us is living space. This is the biggest focus of the revitalization of the Chinese race. In my last speech, I said that the fight over basic living resources (including land and ocean) is the source of the vast majority of wars in history. This may change in the information age, but not fundamentally.
Our per capita resources are much less than those of Germanys back then. In addition, economic development in the last twenty-plus years had a negative impact, and climates are rapidly changing for the worse. Our resources are in very short supply. The environment is severely polluted, especially that of soil, water, and air.
Not only our ability to sustain and develop our race, but even its survival is gravely threatened, to a degree much greater than faced Germany back then Anybody who has been to Western countries knows that their living space is much better than ours. They have forests alongside the highways, while we hardly have any trees by our streets. Their sky is often blue with white clouds, while our sky is covered with a layer of dark haze. Their tap water is clean enough for drinking, while even our ground water is so polluted that it cant be drunk without filtering. They have few people in the streets, and two or three people can occupy a small residential building; in contrast our streets are always crawling with people, and several people have to share one room. Many years ago, there was a book titled Yellow Catastrophes. It said that, due to our following the American style of consumption, our limited resources would no longer support the population and society would collapse once our population reaches 1.3 billion. Now our population has already exceeded this limit, and we are now relying on imports to sustain our nation. Its not that we havent paid attention to this issue. The Ministry of Land Resources is specialized in this issue.
But we must understand that the term living space (lebenstraum) is too closely related to Nazi Germany. The reason we dont want to discuss this too openly is to avoid the Wests association of us with Nazi Germany, which could in turn reinforce the view that China is a threat. Therefore, in our emphasis on He Xins new theory, Human Rights are just living rights we only talk about living but not space so as to avoid using the term living space. From the perspective of history, the reason that China is faced with the issue of living space is because Western countries have developed ahead of Eastern countries. Western countries established colonies all around the world, therefore giving themselves an advantage on the issue of living space. To solve this problem, we must lead the Chinese people outside of China, so that they can develop outside of China.
Would the United States allow us to go out to gain new living space? First, if the United States is firm in blocking us, it is hard for us to do anything significant to Taiwan and some other countries! Second, even if we could snatch some land from Taiwan, Vietnam, India, or even Japan, how much more living space can we get? Very trivial! Only countries like the United States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.
Therefore, solving the issue of America is the key to solving all other issues. First, this makes it possible for us to have many people migrate there and even establish another China under the same leadership of the CCP. America was originally discovered by the ancestors of the yellow race, but Columbus gave credit to the White race. We the descendants of the Chinese nation are ENTITLED to the possession of the land!!! It is historical destiny that China and United States will come into unavoidable confrontation on a narrow path and fight. In the long run, the relationship of China and the United States is one of a life-and- death struggle.
Of course, right now it is not the time to openly break up with them yet. Our reform and opening to the outside world still rely on their capital and technology. We still need America. Therefore, we must do everything we can to promote our relationship with America, learn from America in all aspects and use America as an example to reconstruct our country.
Only by using special means to clean up America will we be able to lead the Chinese people there. Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves. There has been rapid development of modern biological technology, and new bio weapons have been invented one after another. Of course we have not been idle; in the past years we have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this kind. We are capable of achieving our purpose of cleaning up America all of a sudden. When Comrade Xiaoping was still with us, the Party Central Committee had the perspicacity to make the right decision not to develop aircraft carrier groups and focused instead on developing lethal weapons that can eliminate mass populations of the enemy country.
Biological weapons are unprecedented in their ruthlessness, but if the Americans do not die then the Chinese have to die. If the Chinese people are strapped to the present land, a total societal collapse is bound to take place. According to the computations of the author of Yellow Peril, more than half of the Chinese will die, and that figure would be more than 800 million people! Just after the liberation, our yellow land supported nearly 500 million people, while today the official figure of the population is more than 1.3 billion. This yellow land has reached the limit of its capacity. One day, who know how soon it will come, the great collapse will occur any time and more than half of the population will have to go.
It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century, a century in which the CCP leads the world. We, as revolutionary humanitarians, do not want deaths, But if history confronts us with a choice between deaths of Chinese and those of Americans, wed have to pick the latter, as, for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of the Chinese people and the life of our Party.
The last problem I want to talk about is of firmly seizing the preparations for military battle. The central committee believes, as long as we resolve the United States problem at one blow, our domestic problems will all be readily solved. Therefore, our military battle preparation appears to aim at Taiwan, but in fact is aimed at the United States, and the preparation is far beyond the scope of attacking aircraft carriers or satellites. Marxism pointed out that violence is the midwife for the birth of the new society. Therefore war is the midwife for the birth of Chinas century.

18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

When I was a kid in grade school in Chicago back in mid-60s, the teacher was asking everyone what they wanted to be when they grew up.
When it was my turn I said I wanted to be a farmer. All the other kids laughed.
I ended up being a truck driver.
So next time you put on some nice clothing and shoes, or sit down to a fine meal, thank a trucker. ;)

On the other hand science is now finding that plant life is sentient, emotional, loving, rational etc. so where does that leave us?

One of you here alleges Gates used to rape male underlings at his company and tell them that if they refused or squealed he'd have them rubbed out. Unfortunately it would be a cinch to believe that, knowing these 'elites' as we do.

Not too sure what they use now to fry them, but I would not get caught dead eating them since way too much salt to suit me. :-/

When I was on the road driving for Vestal, I spotted a Popeye's Chicken.
My co-driver called that outfit, "Nigger chicken".
I told him to stop so I could get something to eat. When I came out he said, "Well, what was in there?"
I said, "Niggers." He said, "What did I tell you?" ROTFLOL
