This is not the entire article. It is worth reading with the original formatting at the substack link.

I intentionally blipped the Earl Butz quote, it is out of place on FR. Not doubt it is an accurate quote, but it is out of taste in today's world.

But this article is important when we contemplate what we in the USA face concerning food supply quality and quantity in our near future. This is the Brave New World. (shutter to think about it)

Why do people who can do, allow ourselves to be governed by the smallest minded who can’t do?

Thanks for the explanation on the Butz quote. That prompted me to go see what he said. It amazes me how many ignorant people have risen to the ranks of those who hold power over us, and I guess we are ignorant (at least collectively) to allow this.

Politics has become an infestation.

There is some FReeper(s) that keep playing keyword games with anything Dr Malone related calling it Qtard garbage. It is pretty sad that even on our conservative side we have non-critical thinkers and shallow end swimmers, just like the left. I personally appreciate seeing posts from scientist and thinkers that provide thoughts and evidence that make us think. Anybody that has been paying attention should know Kissinger has always been against the USA. Look at his offspring, good lord she is nuts and she didn’t fall far from the tree. Since the beginning of time, there have been evil rich men that wanted to control the world and to be like God. Reference Nimrod in the book of Genesis.

What is currently going on, in my view, is all a run-up to the fulfillment of the apocalypse detailed by John. It will take a wheelbarrow of money to buy a loaf of bread.

Any government that is weaponized by a political faction is the enemy of the people it rules over. Read what our founders had to say about parties and factions.

It’s a good article but it really overlooks the most important point. There’s simply no getting around the major cost advantage of scale economies.

I stopped by a local boutique farm in my area earlier this summer. It was a nice place and I always like to support local businesses, but within two minutes I could tell that this was not a serious commercial outfit. It was ridiculously labor intensive, and it took hours of work to to produce suitable quantities of the products they were selling.

I got to know the owners, and I learned that this was basically just a hobby. The guy was a retired investment banker, his wife ran the store while he ran the farming operation, and he said they cleared about $400 per month after all the expenses were paid — and they didn’t pay themselves any salaries.

They had jars of one particular “organic” item on the shelf for $15 apiece. A mass-produced brand name version is sold in the nearby chain grocery store for $7.99.

The typical car in the parking lot was a Subaru, a Volvo or a Tesla.

Please put the quote. Otherwise the entire article makes has no conclusion

At this point in Union government history, what part of it is a “friend”?

The U.S. is a country that mandates the burning of one-third of it's corn crop "for the environment."

I shutter to think about it too. It bottles the mind.
