How many jobs exist purely to cut down trees, grind them into pulp, press the pulp into paper, print advertisements on them, and deliver them to every mailbox in the targeted area?
How much CO2 could we avoid pumping into the atmosphere if useless bulk advertising mail didn’t exist?
I think the moment that convinced me the operating logic of our society is truly fucked in a way that cannot merely be reformed was after that eclipse in 2017 when the articles started coming out about how much money had been lost by productivity dropping from people stopping momentarily to watch it happen. To measure the world by the metric of the dollar to such a devotion that any cult leader would be jealous of that you would look at one of the most sublime experiences in nature which we, our ancestors, and even a not insignificant number of non-human species, have been observing in awestruck wonder for millennia, and decide that such a moment of profundity is something to be fought and preferably expunged from the human experience because it briefly impacts quarterly revenue.
It's a feeling that has been coming up repeatedly, but with increasing frequency in the last few years. That being: what is all of this for? Where are we going? Nobody who defends the status quo can seem to answer it. What's the point of an uninterrupted quarterly revenue stream if we can't even look at an eclipse every few years? What's the point of hustling and grinding 50, 60, 70 hour weeks if you never have time to have dinner with your friends, talk to your family on the phone, but on a bigger spectrum, what's the point of all of that if you still don't have any way of retiring in the future? With the way that our lives are being increasingly monetized and squeezed every second, what is there to look forward to?

Not to be conspiratorial on main but fuck if this is true 😭😭😭😭
Honestly I think that’s not TOO far off from what I think is happening but the YouTubers aren’t the main point here, it’s the animation industry itself! considering what recently happened with HBO Max and Warner brothers (and now Netflix) and the cancelation of mutiple GOOD animated series, especially ones that actually CARED about good rep it wouldn’t be too far off to say this is just adding fuel to the anti original “woke” animate series that’s been happening. Like take Disney for example they purposely remove and “forget” to advertise shows and movies (like Strange Planet and TOH) that have actual representation so that they can say “oh these shows don’t do as well let’s not make more”.
they’re doing almost the same thing with this. They knew it was gonna be shit which is why they were TOLD not to included scooby in the show.
also im SURE they’re aware of the distaste people for for the “riverdale” effect that reboots have been having. They’re purposefully making it unappealing to EVERYONE and THATS why critics can’t figure out who it’s target audience is for. It’s whole purpose is that there ISNT one. they’re already getting rid of all the original animated content. What’s next? The reboots. The only thing really left for mainstream 2D(!!) animation at that point would be ads (and MAYBE a few games). And we’ll we all know how we feel about those… they’re purposefully trying to kill the industry, specifically, a very UNIONIZED industry. Now THATS my conspiracy theory lmao
anyways support small animation studios and creators except for vivziepop :)
#velma show#is this a stretch? Yeah but hey would surprise me considering the hellscape we live in#scooby doo

My word is ENOCH, so the prompt is to go through a WIP file to find paragraphs starting with those letters and share a snipper. Enjoy some previews from my Superhero Thesis Novel and a junky xeno space lesbian romance.
Even talking was too loud.
“I’ll do her make-up with a little extra foundation and she’ll look fine,” Liz said. “You know I’m a miracle worker.”
She really was. When corporate realized there wasn’t a single professional make-up artist in all of Northern Nevada that could do dark skin who hadn’t already moved to Vegas, Liz was recruited off her social media make-up tutorials, and Sara had been nervous. Liz was a fan, and fans tended to be disappointed when their heroes were people, but she’d been…
She’d been a good friend, really. That was hard to find for heroes. You could only give your secret identity outside the industry if you were married, which meant lying a lot, but Liz hung out with her on days off and had her back at work. Kim could well get Liz fired, but Liz was confident in her skill.
The dehydration was too bad to sleep, but she wasn’t up for audiobooks or music, so she just lay back, wishing the roads were smoother. Maybe Bloom could campaign against potholes.
The IV was finally starting to kick in when her tablet buzzed.
“Fire. It’s an all hands,” Sara said, sitting up. “And Kim, before you say anything, we still have three hours before the shoot, and we can tell them we’ll be a little late due to the huge fucking fire, okay? Because if it gets out everyone else was saving homes and I was advertising strawberry milk, they’ll crucify me.”
Nexus was the only planet in the system where aliens were common, and even then, it was usually Batk-Hy. She’d never seen an alien in person. Humans were famous for their unprotected skin. Their name translated to ‘a bare heart under armor’, something that could refer to the contrast between their brutal and affectionate reputations or provide helpful instructions for killing them.
What did a sentient creature with no fur or scales look like in person? Were they slimy like exposed muscle or dry like sandstone?
“It is my honor to meet you all. I have been kindly granted the name Mist-Rolling-in-Across-the-Harbor. My shortname is to be ‘Harbor’.”
The human’s accent was perfect. Their voice was a bit odd, and she finally looked over to see if it had a throat injury.
Oh. Of course. Its voicebox wouldn’t be flexible enough to talk properly.
It was small, only up to Dawn’s shoulder, and without the armor she’d seen in pictures. It was dressed for the local heat in light cloth. The skin didn’t look slimy or dry; it looked like soft fabric.
Once Dawn was safely married out… it would be a relief to be an orphan. She would no longer be asked to be a spy to her own mate. She could forget her past and make a better life with her new family, raise her children with affection and gentleness. If she didn’t like the family she married into, she’d be free to divorce, take anyone or no one as her mate, go to another planet. Go to another Solar System where House Mist meant nothing.
If Harbor tried to kill her, however, she was screwed. Killing Dawn was as easy as turning off her heater on a cold night.
Well, if Uncle Close didn’t know how to win a human’s loyalty, Dawn would have to learn how to do it right. She didn’t need a loyal tool. She just needed, if Harbor ever realized how many of her problems could be solved with murder, not to be one of those problems.
"Course. How’s your day going?”
Listening to her complain about office politics was a nice break from hero stuff. He’d been seeing too much of the kind of stuff nobody filmed. Grieving loved ones, hecklers and catcallers nearly every time they got out of the car, and the slow realization that Derby was maybe not stable enough to keep herself safe in the field. People admired her work ethic, but, from close up, Drew thought it looked more like compulsion.
Derby slept two hours, but she woke up to the emergency alarm.
“Shit,” she said. “Shit fuck. Villain punched out a support column on a hotel. We’ve got a lot of people injured. We need to go.”
She leaned toward, like she could make the car run on her own energy.
He’d seen the AYMU building downtown. AYMU’s hero office was a shining tower you could see from blocks away, the logo across the eighth floor daring a villain to attack. Drew knew most hero offices were non-descript. He was pretty sure daisy heroics operated out of a coffee shop downtown.
The office his GPS had taken him to was ugly, a squat, brown thing from the seventies with a few decorative plants barely hanging on to life. Drew stepped through the sliding doors onto yellow-brown carpet, worn down the center and coming up at the edges. He was still half hoping for this to be a front, but instead of pressing in a code and taking the elevator down into a lair, he was shown into a meeting room with foam cups and stale coffee. The woman across from him, Joanne, was small and professional. She handed him stacks of documents to sign.
Kicking it forward to @lebirbybitch @19cats-and-counting @esseastri @abalidoth if they want to play. Your word is REMAIN,

👽UFO SIGHTINGS, DRONES & CIA👽
Today alone, on TikTok, UFO sightings in NJ, Chicago & London have trended and there has been a different UFO sighting trend every day since the drones were sighted in NJ.
Why do you think that is all of a sudden?
When aliens have always existed & prior to now their existence was always denied by the powers that be?
I believe — as The X Files showed — that the global elites (military leaders, world leaders, important politicians, heads of state, influential CEOs/founders/investors, wealthy elites & billionaires, industry executives & insiders) — who have made a deal with these aliens in the past & continuously over the years — Roswell, Area 51, the “Canadian wildfires” last summer — for alien weaponry, alien warfare, alien technology & alien DNA, alien gene splicing & alien & human hybridization & experimentation — are going to be formally introduced soon to the public & integrated into our society based on pacts that global elites have made throughout the years with these aliens that included an agreement for the aliens to eventually be able to come out from the shadows & be integrated into human society.
I believe the earth is dying & will be uninhabitable by 2100 & that within the next few decades, Bezos & Elon will colonize Mars & other relatively nearby planets within our Milky Way Galaxay with a mix of rich & wealthy humans from earth, aliens with whom the above mentioned elites made their multiple pacts with over thousands of years as well as clones, hybrids, robots & AI.
They are allowing and causing these multiple UFO sightings to pave the way for this coming reality.
Recently declassified CIA documents lend more credence to this coming reality describing everything from Stargate experiments with subjects undergoing psychic experiments where they were instructed to psychically transport themselves a million years to the past to Mars, to travel to the astral 10D non-physical dimension from our current 3D physical mortal dimension, Gateway Experience experiments where subjects minds were altered in attempts to create psychic spycraft and much more.
None of these governmental experiments are new as MKULTRA was conducted in the 1940s as well as countless other experiments throughout hundreds and thousands of years. XFiles was very representative of what the government and global elites have done with aliens throughout the ages to maintain their power & dominance & keep humanity on a 3D wavelength of greed, avarice, suffering, capitalism, violence, war, might makes right, assaults, homelessness, addictions, disordered behavior, compulsions, prejudice, genocides, hate, hyper competition, settler expansionism, land acquisition, atrocities, crimes against humanity, chemical warfare, war crimes, land exploitation, resource exploitation, ethnic cleansings, concentration camps, death camps, rape rooms, torture, mass incarceration, propaganda, hate machines, false narratives, kidnappings, sexual trafficking, slavery, beatings, burnings, mass graves, forced starvation, forced displacement, mass relocation, forced famines, wage slavery, brainwashing, indoctrination centers, grooming, pedophilia, hebephilia, dehumanization, toxic masculinity, dark empaths, malignant narcissists, sociopaths, abusers, tyrants, dictators, cults of personality, mass suicides, child killings, child brides, civilian slaughter, fentanyl, crack, meth, heroine, outlawing psychedelics, outlawing marijuana, overregulating CBD, pharmaceutical industrial complex, prison industrial complex, cancer industrial complex, psychiatric industrial complex, OTC industrial complex, medical industrial complex, K-12 indoctrination centers, university industrial complex, corporate prisons, cubicle prisons, mindbreaking, psychosis inducements, subliminal advertisements, psyops, high fructose corn syrup, beverage industrial complex, snack industrial complex, alcohol industrial complex, fast food industrial complex, chain restaurant industrial complex, dextrose, DHT, sucralose, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, herbicides, fungicides, GMOs, bioengineered ingredients, pesticides, wood burning, forest burning, meat packing & processing industrial complex, factory farms, television film music & entertainment industries, modeling industry, stripping, adult film industry, pop warner, high school football, college football, NFL, boxing, mma, formula 1, nascar, pbr, wwe, sugar, sodium, oversized portions, GLP-1 drugs, opioids, pain pills, cancer, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart disease, pulmonary conditions, embolisms, blood clots, circulatory issues, obesity, gastrointestinal issues, migraines, glaucoma, gout, thyroidism, fibroids, pcos, incontinence, dementia, alzheimers, parkinsons, epilepsy, seizures, als, lewy body dementia, depression, anxiety, ocd, listlessness, numbness, lethargy, bpd, bipolar…
Disconnecting people from themselves.
Disconnecting people from nature.
Disconnecting peoples mind from their heart from their body from their soul.
Short circuiting peoples ability to heal themselves naturally from 90%+ of DIS-eases & dystopically convincing & brainwashing society into believing to “cure” themselves they need a pill, a shot, or a knife — medication, injection or surgery.
Medicalizing dying and making people fear death instead of embracing their mortality & understanding that death is only returning them to their natural state of being as an eternal energetic limitless being in the 10D astral plane dreamscape that they originated from & existed in for eternity before their very temporary manifestation in this current 3D physical realm as a human being when their human parents conceived them.
Convincing people that death is something to fear and avoid rather accept and embrace as a return to their original state of being.
Pushing horrific inhumane painful nonsensical interventions instead of accepting and embracing death as the most natural part of life that exists as literally every human will go through it.
Pushing a ridiculous notion of “fighting death” when everyone is going to die anyway & posturing that disgustingly inhumane painful excruciating dangerous medical interventions in dying and/or elderly patients is somehow going to alleviate death itself when it is inevitable for every born creature in the 3D physical mortal realm.
The declassified CIA documents also show experiments that subjects were shown the truth through psychic experiments — that our 3D physical current “reality” is nothing but a projection and dream of our 10D astral plane higher consciousness selves that are temporarily experiencing human manifestation for maximum of 75 to 100 years before returning to the astral plane to our 10D crystalline light body eternal energetic limitless selves.
The astral plane is simply your mind and your imaginations.
Thoughts are causative and literally creative reality.
Words are powerful and magical and literally create reality.
Our world is a virtual reality simulation.
Every night when you sleep and you enter REM - rapid eye movement sleep - your consciousness shifts back temporarily while you are manifested as a human back to the 10D astral plane where your true self — your crystalline light body higher consciousness self — resides.
Your extremely temporary human manifestation is nothing but a human suit.
You are NOT human!
You are a crystalline light body and 10D eternal energetic limitless being that is cosplaying as a human during a very temporary manifestation as a human being.
If you remember “living past lives”, you are actually just remembering fragments of your 10D higher consciousness selfs experiences in the astral plane for an eternity prior to your very temporary human manifestation in the 3D physical realm.
Just like your mind and imagination is literally limitless and you can think dream and imagine literally anything — so too is actual reality in the astral plane — it is the opposite of the extremely limited 3D physical mortal realm that we are temporarily inhabiting now — where you can in the astral plane literally do and be anything literally just by thinking and speaking it into existence — flying, time travel, interstellar travel, dimensional travel, wormhole travel, entering black holes, visiting different universes, parallel realities, alternate timelines, alien planets, the distant past, the distant future, the alternate present — absolutely anything that you want to do — you think it into existence.
Watch The Neverending Story. Understand what the Old Man In the Mountain was saying to the Childlike Empress.
“So you write everything that happens?” Childlike Empress.
“No, everything I write happens.” Old Man In the Mountain
You have that same exact power to literally create reality with your thoughts and words. You are that powerful. You are just severed from that power here in the 3D realm especially in the capitalistic citadel hellscape that is AmeriKKKa.
Or as the declassified Gateway Experience CIA documented in 1983 puts it:
“The human is also a hologram which attuned itself to the universal hologram by the medium of energy exchange thereby deducing meaning and achieving the state we call consciousness.”
“Consciousness is timeless as it exists outside of space and time and has no beginning or end.”
By the way — the above CIA document was classified back in 2003, 30 years after it was initially published in 1983.
Why do you think its making news and trending on TikTok over 20 years later at the end of 2024?

Dont add yourself to the capitalist slaughter.
Speak up and out about the genocide. Keep sharing pictures and videos. Educate people.
Its Falastin, not Palestine. There is no P in their alphabet.
Israel is a modern day creation from 1948.
Jews were an ethnic minority in Palestine and other places in the world before zionists forcibly displaced 700k Palestinians during the Nakba in 1948 and “created” the “modern day state” of “Israel”.
It is OPT — Occupied Palestinian Territory.
References to Palestine go back thousands of years.
Israel did not exist before 1948.
Look up the Balfour Declaration.
There is no such thing as “Israel” or “Israeli culture”.
Jews were an ethnic minority in Palestine that peacefully coexisted in Palestine prior to the Nakba in 1948 with Palestinians and other ethnic minorities (Armenians, etc.).
Do not become numb, desensitized, apathetic or “tired of” the genocide.
Do not normalize the genocide.
If you can stop working, stop working.
If you can avoid paying taxes, dont pay them.
Americans are funding Israels genocide of 200k+ Palestinian civilians.
America has provided billions of dollars & weapons for Israels genocide of Palestine.
If you dont have to contribute to it, dont.
Even if you freelance — if you make more than $400 per calendar year, your taxes directly fund Israels genocide of Palestine.
Even if you own your own business — you will be taxed at approximately 28% to 33%+ and your taxes directly fund Israels genocide of Palestine.
Boycott. Advocate for divestment & sanctions.
Educate yourself on how BDS campaign in the 80s & 90s effectively ended apartheid in South Africa so you can utilize similar tactics against Israels genocide of Palestine.
Talk about Israels genocide against Palestine in real life with family & friends.
Educate, advocate, agitate.
No business as usual or normalization of a genocide of 200k+ brown brothers & sisters by the white devil for oil, natural gas, resources, zionism, land acquisition, settler expansionism, “greater Israel”, “promised land”, “Abrahamic accord”, white supremacy, white devil.
Starseeds, activate! Receive your mission & transmissions.
Crystal children born in the 1980s like me & Youneekk — realize & remember who you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a human suit.
Indigo children & star children — remember who you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leaked CIA Gateway Experience describes consciousness as a “pool of limitless timeless perception”.
All of this truth, all of universal human consciousness, experiences, wisdom, knowledge, esotericism is available to you NOW.
As Youneekk wrote, you have to be able to tap into the knowledge & esoteric wisdom all around you — all timelines exist right now right here in this current moment — you have to know how to tap into the frequency to access all the information that surrounds you at all times.
NS Archive @ gwu.edu
The leaked CIA document goes further to state that individual consciousness is specifically a “pool of limitless, timeless perception” that is a “differentiated aspect of the universal consciousness”.
Under additional declassified CIA documents as of 12/23/24, the CIA conducted exploitative inhumane experiments involving drugs, LSD, hypnosis, isolation, sensory deprivation, interrogation techniques, behavior & mind control, mind erasure & reprogramming on unwitting US citizen subjects inside prison hospitals, medical treatments, addiction clinics & juvenile detention facilities.
The CIAs multiple behavior control programs — especially MKULTRA — led to the development of techniques that Americans and their allies later used at detention centers in Vietnam, Latin America, Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantanamo Bay & secret prisons around the world.
Many CIA experiments were carried out in clandestine CIA safehouses staffed by undercover federal agents who adopted personas posing as local bohemian artists to lure unsuspecting victims to his supposed “pad” where he & his fellow CIA collaborators secretly experimented on their victims while recording their behavior.
Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly had agreed to supply the CIA with tons of LSD which White & his agency cohorts including a CIA psychologist dosed many of their victims with.
Many of the victims — some who were psychiatric patients — of the CIAs mind control experiments were left psychologically damaged and permanently shattered.
MKULTRA was approved at the highest levels and operated with virtually no oversight, exempted from CIA financial controls, without written agreements or accountability with nearly limitless resources.
Another CIA program, ARTICHOKE, which involved experimentations on whether monotonous sounds, concussion, electroshock & induced sleep to gain hypnotic control of an individual.
Many MKULTRA projects were carried out at top universities like Cornell, Georgetown, Rutgers, Illinois & Oklahoma.
Many of the MKULTRA projects involved using LSD and other drugs to induce psychotic states.
Many of the experiments subjects — including prisoners and juveniles housed in detention centers — were scarred for life.
The MKULTRA experiments were especially inhumane and involved induced sleep, electroshocks, psychic driving, sensory deprivation & psychological torture in depatterning experiments to reprogram unwitting subjects minds.
ARTICHOKE consisted of narcosis & hypnosis to induce regression & subsequent total amnesia produced by post-hypnotic suggestion. CIA agents used heavy dosages of a barbiturate coupled with methamphetamine.
Additional CIA experiments tested subjects on the following:
•Substances that promoted illogical thinking
•Materials rendering hypnosis easier
•Substances to help individuals endure privation, torture & coercion during interrogation & brainwashing
•Materials & physical methods to produce amnesia, shock & confusion
•Substances that would produce physical disablement & paralysis
•Substances that alter personality structure & produce pure euphoria with no subsequent let down
•Knockout pill to produce amnesia

Do vegans eat meat?
In many cultures, eating meat is so rooted in human life that we rarely think about why we should eat meat. Where and how is the meat prepared? We rarely try to see who is behind the scenes of the meat industry Most people consider themselves to be animal lovers, but eating animal meat is normal for them, and I still don’t know why you love an animal and hug it and cut another animal into pieces and eat it? It’s time to face the fact that man created the meat industry for his diversification and greed and tortures and kills many animals.
The answer to this question is relatively simple; however, come with me, and I’ll tell you every single aspect of this question.
I’m Sara and I’ve been vegan for 7 years with my family of 5. As my family and I thrive on this lifestyle, I wanted to share with you all my experiences in this particular area.
So let’s get started.
This article will be dedicated to why vegans might or might not consume meat.
In some of our previous articles, we mentioned that vegans do not consume meat, no matter the source. This means that vegans do not consume land animal meat or seafood.
There are many reasons why we have chosen a vegan lifestyle. But let me tell you a few things Some vegetarians choose a vegetarian diet just for the sake of their health, because they have come to the conclusion that meat and chicken are not useful for human health and cause a lot of harm to the body, and they refuse to eat animal meat like us. But vegans have more reasons for not eating meat besides health.
Before getting to why Vegans do not consume meat, we have to tell you that while vegans refuse to eat any flesh, they can get all of the nutrition, minerals, and supplements that meat has from plant-based food.
This proves that vegans do not have to eat meat to gain its vitamins, minerals, and nutrition.
· The first reason that comes up when we ask why vegans don’t eat meat is related to moral beliefs. In other words, vegans are against the meat industry and industries that use animal abuse or cruelty to produce their products (be it clothing or consumer cosmetics).
We can never accept someone as ours or even our lives without full consent, so why should we do the same to defenseless animals? I must mention that some of these animals and even insects are vital for the health of the planet We know what happens behind the scenes of slaughterhouses and farms. We know how animals are imprisoned, tortured and killed in order to put them in beautiful packages in the human food basket. Research has proven that the anatomy of the human body has been vegetarian since the beginning of creation, and later we became carnivores with the change in human taste and advertising. Please watch this video : 15 reasons that prove that human herbivor
· The following reason vegans avoid meat is the physical consequences that meat offers over time. When you consume meat, you are consuming a product that is not 100% hygienic. I might add that the fat included inside the core is saturated fat or the harmful fat that can cause heart diseases and failure over time if consumed more than limited.
These two reasons are the main issues of consuming meat, so vegans choose to avoid meat to fulfill these reasons.
You might wonder, if vegans do not consume meat, what do they eat to obtain the nutrition embedded inside the animal meat?
When talking about meat and the need to consume it, individuals assume that the protein and the galleries that come from meat can not be obtained from plant-based food.
While this fact seems true but it is not correct.
Because after the considerations and research I did several years ago on this matter, I have concluded that some other plant-based consumables like beans and soy contain the same kind of protein that exists inside red or animal meat.
And by consuming plant-based protein, you can get the same energy from the protein inside the animal meat.
However, on some special occasions, vegans must use supplements to gain the complete nutrition they need throughout the day to function correctly.
The reason why some vegetarians need supplements is that the diet and body needs of each person and their metabolism are different from other people. Sometimes some vegetarians need supplements to complete the minerals or nutrients their body needs, even It is possible that many meat-eating people also suffer from B12 or iron deficiency. This has nothing to do with vegetarianism.
But the important thing is that if you start a plant-based diet with planning, you will need less supplements because the nutrients of plants are more and healthier than animals. I have done an article on vegetarians and the need to take supplements that you can read .
Now that you know whether vegans eat meat or not and the reason for this action, let’s get to the end of the article and sum up all of the information we have gathered for you.
We all have seen some special diets from all around the world and different individuals; however, there is a debate on whether vegans can eat meat or not, meaning can they include meat in their diet or can’t?
In this article, I talked about how vegetarians do not consume animal meat or other animal products. However, it’s best to remember that as a human being who has been a vegetarian since birth, there are plenty of plant-based alternatives that you can supplement your meals with and that you can live without animal carcasses.
Then I explain some of the reasons vegans have for not eating animal meat, and I think if you read through these reasons yourself, you can better understand this diet and lifestyle.
I advise you to read through some related articles to this matter to understand why vegans do not consume meat.
In the end, I am very much glad and delighted that you decided to accompany me throughout the “Do vegans eat meat?” article.
If you have any additional inquiries or opinions that you want to share with me, you only have to use the comment section below this article or contact page 4 on the contact page of this website.

Omg I totally feel you on the veganism thing. Like on a personal level, I totally support people eating the things they want and being firm in their morals. So I have absolutely 0 issues with people not wanting to eat/use animal products. But on an industrial level and on a larger scale, there's a lot of things I wish people were just more aware of. Like certain foods become trendy and are advertised as more ethical staples in people's diets, when in reality, in order to get those foods, a ton of really unethical things have to happen. Like farming, leading to massive amounts of deforestation and actually causing more lose of animal life due to their habitats being ruined in order to produce these "vegan" foods. And at that point, buying beef from a local farmer actually kills fewer animals than buying those foods, which is counterproductive. But a lot of people aren't willing to do that research and just jump on trends, and then proclaim that they're inherently better than people who aren't vegan like they are. Even with things like fake leather like you were talking about, it leads to more waste because a lot of it isn't great quality, so it has to be replaced constantly.
I also see tons of vegans, obviously not all but a lot, using their veganism to justify racism. Indigenous people are constantly berated and verbally abused by vegans for their cultural practices that have kept their community alive for hundreds of years. Like a lot of Inuit people who fish and catch and eat whales, they have done it sustainably for hundreds of years, and due to lack of resources where they live, they depend on those practices to survive. Indigenous people have always practiced sustainable hunting and agricultural traditions. But they are constantly attacked by vegans for those things. They are regularly called murderers and horrible people and even have their practices compared to the literal h*locaust. It just ends up being extremely racist and then people hide behind their vegan identity to get away with it. :/
Not to mention how expensive veganism is. But a lot of vegans market it as totally sustainable for everybody and then bash people who simply can't afford it. They'll tell people to live solely on rice and beans as a way to practice veganism cheaply, ignoring people in food deserts who don't even have access to those few things. And realistically, nobody wants to live solely on rice and beans, that's not sustainable and honestly could be bad for people's mental health. Food is meant to be enjoyed and is a way for communities to connect all around the world. Telling people to limit their diet to 2 things is not realistic. Sure, in certain parts of the world it is cheaper to be vegan, but that's definitly not everywhere and acting like everyone has equal access to healthy vegan foods is just not true and a very privileged take.
So yeah, I totally support people making their own informed decisions about the foods they eat and the products they use, and advocating for less waste and a cleaner planet. But the movement it's become really does a lot more harm than good and puts more people off veganism than on it. Idk, just my take. I hope that's not too political. Please feel free to delete it if it is.
Oh, ohmyGOD YES YES YES aaaaall of this!!!!!
This is exactly why I'm very VERY antivegan; always have been and I always will be. You summarised it better than I was able to!!!!❤️
It's nice to know I'm not alone in seeing veganism as a solely negative and dangerous lifestyle; not to mention the fact it kills people and endangers people's health!!!
And this isn't too political!!! Politics is in absolutely every facet of life (and if you (not you personally nonnie but in general) think it isn't then sorry but you gotta educate yourself a bit more🥰) so it's important to be aware of it as much as possible.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for the validation!!!

Why would you destroy that which gives you life?!?!
think about the Trees.
Trees are the best air purifiers on the planet, bar nothing else!,.... The Arbor Day Foundation tells us that in one year a mature tree will absorb more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen in exchange,.... oxygen we Humans need to live.
48 pounds of more oxygen per tree...... and there are no man made products that will do that!
But when trees are burned that carbon dioxide release's back into the atmosphere.
This is why we must preserve most trees from destruction, because they are literally saving our dumb human lives even though MOST Human Beings don't know that simple fact,...... which I find amazing that people are that fucking stupid about their environment and yet they think the political leaders they vote for are the real saviours of humanity,......... which is probably the furthest from the truth given all the corruption in our political arena.
It's estimated that 15 billion trees are cut down each year to build stuff that pollutes even more, and to stripmine areas looking for gold—more than 41 million trees per day.
Deforestation is a major global problem, and just adds to global warming, as Only 36% of the world's rainforests remain intact, and most likely had we not cut down the rainforests in the first place we probably wouldn't be going through global warming today.
Water under the bridge as political leaders would say,...sheesh!
Ya see, the whole world is like one big LIVING ecosystem that takes care of itself with all the environmental plants that it grows on itself, and the more we kill, poison, and burn that ecosystem away,... the less the living earth can protect itself, so it has to put itself through a kind of survival mode to get rid of the problem that is killing it, That would be us Human Beings polluting it.
So the Earth goes through what we call Global Warming to kill off all the problems that are attacking its ecosystem,..... again that would be our polluting the earth.
We did this, and we are not trying to fix it, but instead industry is offering us electric cars to drive so we can think we are trying to solve global warming, but the fact is just the process of manufacturing those electric cars causes HUGE amounts of more pollution, more than they will eventually save from not burring fossil fuels,............. it's just another way to make more money making people think they are part of the solution, and they are NOT! They have been yet again suckered by the same industry that has polluted the earth for decades.
Plant more trees and stop buying things that cause more pollution that advertise they are the solution to global warming is the mindset we should have.
I planted 400 tree Saplings last year, and plan to plant another 200 this year that I will never sit under to enjoy the shade, but someone will in 40-60 years,..... hopefully if we are still here!

Let's start with "regulation". That term includes, but is slightly broader than, legislation. I would call it the situation that arises where either a legislature or other public body imposes rules on an industry that it can enforce, either by imposing penalties for noncompliance or severely disincentivising noncompliance.
In the UK and in other Commonwealth nations, there are certain things a legislature cannot do because they are unconstitutional, and similar things that a public authority can't do because they're irrational. ("Irrationality"= - basically unconstitutionality writ small.) One of these things is to act counter to the rule of law.
But let's say I don't know any of that and I make a law that says you can't make advertising that shames people, or tries to make you buy the advertised product out of guilt. I can try and do that.
But what do I write? What does that mean? Don't use that mooncup because you're killing the planet? Okay, not that. How about, don't use that mooncup because climate change gets worse when you do? Is that shaming, or is it less extreme than "kills the planet" so it's ok? What if half the focus group feels guilt-tripped by the wording and the other doesn't? Does it have to be serious, about the climate? What about, don't eat that you'll make your mother sad? Is it worse if it's your dead mother?
What about advertising for children? Should that subject to different standards because they understand guilt and shame in a simpler way? What about other languages and their conventions? What if I advertise in the UK in English, Welsh and Gaelic, and the same translated slogan reads like a guilt-trip in one but not the others? Do I have to change that one or does the existence of the other two mean the law should be construed differently in my case? How do I know, when I sit down to prepare my advertising copy, what I'm allowed to say and do? Who gets to set the standard about a thing like "shame" or "guilt" and is it consistent with democratic norms to do so? Advertising can be banned for advertising specific products like sugar and cigarettes, and it can be banned for being untrue, but we know what both of those things mean in and of themselves. We don't have to undertake a separate assessment.
And the thing is: it doesn't matter how important your objective is. If it isn't possible to say easily, simply, clearly what it is that is prohibited, than you can't impose a penalty for noncompliance. If you're a public authority doing that, you're being irrational; if you're a legislature, you're being unconstitutional. (There are, of course, many exceptions, but those are known to the law; i.e. have substantial history of specific jurisprudence around them.) Because this is what they normally call the rule of law - that it should be publicly understood and apply to all people in the same way. If we start regulating things that can't be objectively determined, we fall away from that.
That's the reason not to make regulations like this; mostly, that you can't. And the reason this is good for us all is because it flows directly from living in a democratic polity, where there can be no arbitrary or unfettered use of power. That sort of thing happens small as well as big, and everything big starts small.
Look, the list of things I would want regulated in advertising is very long, and this doesn't even get near the top, but I do think you shouldn't be allowed to shame people into buying your product
Doubly so if it's a necessity, not a luxury
Like, "our moon cups create less waste than other menstrual products" is fine, but fucking "look at the number of tampons and pads that end up in landfill, isn't it terrible? don't you want to stop killing the earth with your period?" has no place in a paid advert
Like, if you're an activist blogger who wants to use that kind of language for free, fine. I'll think you're a twat, but fine. But a fucking company should not be paying money to shame people into buying their product...

Caribbean cruise vacations have a long violent history. Earlier today, I came across one of the early print advertisement illustrations for the Caribbean cruise ship vacations offered by “the Great White Fleet.” And I pondered bananas.
Just as uncomfortable as it sounds. The story of the origin of the Caribbean cruise industry is, after all, also the story of the origin of the term “Banana Republic.”
In 1914, the Great War began as the planet’s powerful empires of old were collapsing, as British, French, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, Russian, and Qing/Chinese powers were marred by internal revolt and global warfare. But in 1914, the United States completed their Panama Canal and consolidated power in Latin America and the Caribbean, celebrating the ascent of a “new” empire made strong, in part, by bananas.
As of 2022, bananas generate 12 billion dollars per year, with 75% of bananas exported from Latin America and the Caribbean.
The planet’s single biggest banana-producing company is Chiquita. The Chiquita brand was previously known as United Fruit Company, which had essentially monopolized the banana industry in Latin America. United Fruit Company has a bit of an image problem, following its theft of Indigenous land across Central America in the early 20th century; its role in provoking the killing of tens of hundreds/thousands of plantation laborers during the Banana Massacre of 1928; the company’s direct role in the CIA-backed toppling of the Guatemala government in the 1950s; and the company’s role in paying to harass and intimidate labor organizers in Colombia in recent decades.
But what of the “romance” and “adventure” of the Caribbean?
So it’s 1915 or 1916.
Middle of the Great War. Classic empires are disintegrating: Spanish empire, British empire, Austro-Hungarian empire, Russian empire, Ottoman empire, remnants of the Qing/Chinese state, etc. And whose empire is rising? United States, an empire expanding in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. After the 1898 Spanish-US war, as Teddy Roosevelt’s cartoon cavalry conquered Cuba, the Spanish Main belongs to the US of A. The US Navy controlled the Caribbean Sea, and was aiming to expand across the Pacific Ocean, to Hawai’i and beyond.
But the official US Navy isn’t the only fleet upholding the empire. The United Fruit Company had its own fleet.
The text of one of these Great White Fleet ads, from 1916, adorned with imagery of a blue-and-gold macaw and an aerial map of the Caribbean, reads:
“[W]here winter never comes and where the soft trade winds bring renewed health. [W]ith all the comforts and all the luxuries of life you enjoy aboard the palatial ships of the GREAT WHITE FLEET. Delicious meals a la carte [...]. Dainty staterooms, perfectly ventilated [...]. [A]mid the scenes of romance and history in the Caribbean. And with it the opportunity to win for yourself a treasure of health and happiness, of greater benefit than the fabled fountain of youth, sought by Spanish adventurers in the tropic isles of the Spanish Main.”
Who’s leading the charge?
The United Fruit Company!
From the May 1916 issue of Red Book. Image source, from Archive dot org:
Another:
Image source, from Archive dot org:
“There the Pirates hid their Gold -- and every voyage, every port, every route of the Great White Fleet through the Golden Caribbean has the romance of buried treasure, pirate ships an deeds of adventure [...].”
The Golden Caribbean.
The same region where Columbus murdered Indigenous people, where the US and France had just spent 100 years punishing Haiti with unending economic warfare afters slaves rebelled against colonization, and where the United Fruit Company would now set up shop.
The company’s plantations would expand across Central America, establishing brutal racial hierarchies and essentially controlling federal governments of Central American nations.
In 1928, over 30,000 laborers were on strike at banana plantations in Colombia. They demanded payment of actual wages, rather than the credits they were given which were mostly only redeemable at company-owned stores in company towns. The US government threatened to send the Marine Corps to intervene if the “subversive” workers would not return to UFC’s plantations. In December 1928, after martial law had been declared, General Cortes Vargas entered the town square of Cienaga (Magdalena) during Sunday gatherings, with machine guns, opening fire on the crowds, and killing perhaps 3,000 people.
In the late 1940s, the United Fruit Company intensified its ad campaigns led by propagandist Edward Bernays (nephew of Sigmund Freud???), who also practiced his skill at manipulative advertising when working to popularize the American Tobacco Company by showing women smoking “torches of freedom” and linking “women’s rights” to cigarette iconography.
Bernays, who explicitly wrote about his “counter-Communist” intention in the ads, was “drafted” in the war to topple ascendant leftist governments. After 1944 and after Arevalo’s labor reforms, Jacobo Arbenz Guzman took control of Guatemala in 1951, and took over 200,000 acres from United Fruit Company and returned them to poor families. Bernays launched propaganda attacks against Guatemala, helping to plant stories about Guatemala eventually carried in the Saturday Evening Post, New York Herald Tribune, and Reader’s Digest. In January 1952, Bernays personally led a tour of Central America, accompanying publishers and editors of Newsweek, the Miami Herald, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Cincinnati Enquirer, Scripps-Howard, and Time magazine. When the CIA-trained military force led by Carlos Castillo Armas invaded Guatemala, with CIA aerial support, installing Castillo Armas as president, Bernays called them an “army of liberation.”
Bananas and Caribbean cruises aren’t the only culprits in expanding imperial power in Latin America, the tropics, and the Global South.
In 1914, the same year that the United States finished the Panama Canal and consolidated power in Latin America and the Caribbean, Richard Strong was a newly appointed director of Harvard’s new Department of Tropical Medicine. Strong was also appointed director of the Laboratories of the Hospitals and of Research Work at United Fruit Company. Strong toured the company’s plantations in Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Cuba. In the coming years, Strong would also personally approach Harvey Firestone, chief executive of the Firestone company, which owned and brutally operated rubber plantations in tropical West Africa. Research in tropical medicine was thus inaugurated by and dependent on colonial/imperial plantations and racial/social hierarchies at United Fruit Company and Firestone sites across the tropical regions, planetwide. Strong is just one character that demonstrates the interconnectedness of academia, fruit plantations, rubber supplies, food distribution, motor vehicle industries, strike-breakers, military forces, imperial expansion, and other tendrils of violently-enforced racist power.
Today, in 2022, Chiquita maintains twenty thousand employees across 70 countries.
I think about this as I eat a banana for lunchtime. I think about this when I see the Edenic portrayal of a Caribbean shore, a landscape baked not so much by the tropical sun but instead scarred by centuries of genocide, slavery, and plantation labor, where government officials gleefully report “with honor” on the massacre of thousands.
“Just a banana, it ain’t.”
Agreed.

off the back of that post, smth else i think about all the time in regards to Voting With Your Wallet! is that modern capitalism is not actually affected by supply and demand
like, on the small scale, sure. most small businesses will cease to exist if no one buys their goods. but on the large scale? any chain, any major corporation, any company with significant financial backing? supply and demand don't mean shit, that's what advertising is for
like. that's what advertising is for. so much of the truly wasteful parts of commercial industry is someone saying, okay i can make this thing for ten cents and sell it for twenty times that, how do i convince people to buy this thing. no one buying it is barely even a loss, because the whole business model is it's dirt cheap to make
there's no kind of consumption-related action that makes that business model unprofitable. we have to make using [insert any planet-killing method or material] illegal. or start setting manufacturing places on fire.
i do believe buying less & more consciously is useful and important, but not because doing so makes a meaningful impact. it's useful and important because the way we currently live is unsustainable and we all need to get used to living differently
#yelling at clouds#eat the rich#green growing things#few things make me want to commit violence more than walking thru a discount department store#everything is fucking useless and everything is made out of fucking plastic

Google's short-lived data-advantage
There's a lot of ways to think about the movement to tame Big Tech, but one of the more useful divisions to explore is the "Night of the Comet" people versus the "Don't Believe the Criti-Hype" people.
This is a division over the value of the data that Google, Facebook and other large tech firms have amassed over the years - data on their users, sure, but also data on the advertisers and publishers they serve with their ad-tech platforms.
Big Tech companies and their investors are really bullish on the value of this commercial data-advantage: they say that spying on us - the users - lets them manipulate our opinions and activities so that we buy or believe the things their advertisers pay them to push.
More quietly, their investors believe that the data-advantage extends to publishers and advertisers, a deep storehouse of data that makes it effectively impossible for anyone else to do the precision targeted that Big Tech manages, which is why they have such fat margins.
Night of the Comet tech criticism accepts these claims at face value: Big Tech's advantage, they claim, comes from having amassed this insurmountable data-advantage that allows it to both predict and shape what we - and therefore advertisers and publishers - will do.
The implication of this is that traditional antitrust remedies - breakups, say - won't be merely ineffective; they'll be terrifyingly harmful.
If Googbook invented a mind-control ray to sell your nephew fidget-spinners, then breaking them up will only make it easier for Robert Mercer to hijack that mind-control ray to turn your uncle into a Qanon racist.
Googbook's data-advantage, in other words, is like a planet-killing comet heading towards the Earth. If we break that comet up, it will turn into a killing rain of meteors that shower onto every part of the globe - we can't break up the comet, we have to *steer* it.
In this version of tech criticism, the answer is to leave Big Tech intact, but turn it into a utility, or some other highly regulated entity, bound by rules that limit its use of that mind-control system.
Bringing Big Tech to heel by deputizing it to serve as an arm of the state (and perhaps a national champion in the new Cold War with China), like the Bell System prior to the AT&T breakup in '82.
On the other side, you have the Don't Believe the Criti-Hype school. Lee Vinsel coined the term "Criti-Hype" to describe a kind of criticism that actually hypes its subject - say, by repeating Big Tech's self-serving claims.
https://pluralistic.net/2021/02/02/euthanize-rentiers/#dont-believe-the-hype
These claims aren't just self-serving, they're also highly dubious. Everyone who's ever claimed to be able to read - or control - our minds was lying (to themselves, or to everyone else, or both).
The "psychometrics" that all this behavior-modification depends on is - to quote *Nature* - a "scant science." From Big Five Personality Types to microexpression/sentiment analysis, we're deep into the realm of irreproducible results and junk science.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-03880-4
The Criti-Hype school posits that the supernormal returns to capital for Big Tech aren't driven by awesome ad-tech capabilities, but rather, by monopoly (buying or crushing all competitors) and the fraud it enables (the industry has nowhere else to go).
That is, Big Tech makes money the same way hedge-fund managers make their own stunning returns: by cheating so they get paid whether or not they're any good at their jobs. The mere existence of a profitable industry is not proof that the industry is run by competent people.
And to be clear, there is a *lot* of fraud in ad-tech. Tim Hwang calls it a "Subprime Attention Crisis," where the ads are fake, the clicks are fake, the publishers' inventory is fake, the whole thing *riddled* with fraud.
https://pluralistic.net/2020/10/05/florida-man/#wannamakers-ghost
As Aram Zucker-Scharff wrote, "The numbers are fake, the metrics are bullshit, the agencies responsible for enforcing good practices are knowing bullshitters profiting off the fake numbers and none of the models make sense at scale of actual human users."
https://pluralistic.net/2021/01/04/how-to-truth/#adfraud
It's a "bezzle" - a con whose mark hasn't twigged to the ruse...yet.
And while the Night of the Comet side relies on the irreproducible claims of self-proclaimed Svengalis, the Criti-Hype side has an increasingly corpus of cold, hard facts about the bezzle's operation.
Take last November's "Why Google Dominates Advertising Markets," Dina Srinivasan's superb and detailed dissection of Google's crooked ad-markets, in which they steal from advertisers and publishers by rigging the bids on both sides of the exchange.
https://pluralistic.net/2020/11/20/sovkitsch/#adtech
Srinivasan proves you don't need mind-control rays to explain how Big G makes fantastic returns from the ad-tech market. That prospect is further explored in the UK Competition and Markets Authority's 437-page report on "Online platforms and digital advertising" (Jul '20):
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5fa557668fa8f5788db46efc/Final_report_Digital_ALT_TEXT.pdf
Here's where it starts to get *really* interesting. In May 2020, Yale's Fiona Scott Morton and Omidyar's David Dinielli used preliminary CMA data to publish their "Roadmap for a Digital Advertising Monopolization Case Against Google."
https://omidyar.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Roadmap-for-a-Case-Against-Google.pdf
Morton and Dinelli zero in on the actual mechanism of Google's data-advantage, the thing it commands a lion's share of, which advertisers genuinely prize: location data. If I know you're around the corner from my cafe, I might spend a *lot* to show you an ad for my pasties.
This location data advantage is undeniable, but man, it has a short half-life. Thing is, I might spend a lot of money to show you an ad for my coffee shop when you're around the corner, but once you've moved on, you can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. You're dead to me.
This short half-life tells us that we're not living the Night of the Comet nightmare scenario. Break up Google, starve it of location data, and within *hours* most of its location targeting advantage is gone...forever.
As the antitrust cases against Google proceed, more and more of these technical exposes of rigged markets emerge, showing us how monopoly and fraud are at the heart of the data-advantage, and how contingent, time-bound and fragile that advantage really is.
The latest is the bizarrely named "Project Bernanke," a formerly secret ripoff that was exposed when Google forgot to redact a document it filed in its Texas antitrust case:
https://twitter.com/KhushitaVasant/status/1379955848118726659
Google used data from recent ad-auctions to help advertisers shade their bids for ad-placements, exploiting the information asymmetry so the ads it brokered won the auctions, ensuring that rivals ad-brokerages were frozen out.
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/googles-secretive-project-bernanke-reportedly-093732134.html
Though Google insists that this was just an industry practice, the leaked document reveals that Google kept this a secret from publishers. Its internal presentations claim that they made $230m in 2013 alone from this practice.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/googles-secret-project-bernanke-revealed-in-texas-antitrust-case-11618097760
All together, this constitutes a highly specific account of how a data-advantage worked - and what its weak-point is. Project Bernanke was not grounded in longitudinal market data from ad-sales - it exploited *recent* data to deliver a $230m+/year advantage.
The multisided market - a multisided bezzle - exploits the monopolist's data advantage to harm readers, publishers and advertisers, not by predicting and shaping their behavior by bypassing their critical faculties with spooky, advanced psychometrics.
The bezzle requires fresh data - it's a flywheel that uses the monopolist's god's-eye-view to freeze out competitors and entrap publishers and advertisers to get more data to rig the market to entrap the publishers and the advertisers.
It's not a comet. It's a monopoly. It's not terrifying supergeniuses using machine learning to turn us into clicking zombies: it's garden-variety monopolists using anticompetitive, underhanded, dishonest and (probably) illegal tactics to maintain their monopoly.
Bust the trust, ban the conduct, and the data-advantage evaporates with the half-life of that extremely time-bound data. The criti-hype that says that the data-advantage is a deadly, unstoppable comet is just Google's own sales-patter, flipped on its head.
Don't believe the criti-hype.

hay mattie! i was wondering if you would be open to talking more about the pleather vs animal leather post you reblogged?
If you ask me to make a nuanced point we’re gonna be here for weeks. So sure.
First there’s a big difference between leather substitutes and pleather, let’s get that out of the way. Currently, plastics are the only material I’m aware of that can mass commercially match leather in texture, durability, and other physical attributes, but that most certainly doesn’t mean it’s the only one which *can exist*. Biodegradable plastics is a big on the rise field that’s worth looking into in this regard, and there’s currently some companies attempting to make viable leather substitute from mycelium with reasonable success. So while right now pleather is the predominant leather substitute material, having leather substitutes isn’t a bad idea and absolutely should be made more sustainable in the future.
There is also plenty to be said of how mass market animal products trades are exceedingly cruel in a capitalist society. I’m well aware that most leather comes from animals raised for slaughter in factory farms that keep them in terrible living conditions. Problem is, the leather trade hasn’t really got shit to do with those conditions. Supply and demand is, and has been for the majority of the 20th century as well, a complete lie. Companies don’t make products to meet demand, they make products to put every component of what they produce to profit and artificially inflate the demand through advertising to meet it. Those animals would be abused and dead regardless, not even not eating meat could change that bc you’re never realistically going to get enough people to move from those products to others thanks to the companies being capable of moving to alternative markets where your outreach on its harm isn’t present or saving face with rebrands and superficial reforms to make the people who only moved away from their meat products out of moral discomfort become complacent. And leather is a byproduct trade of that, that industry could very easily take to what corn production did and just shift to marketing that byproduct as a manufacturing end material or commercial product. That’s not even getting into how leather is genuinely uniquely useful for many applications, the point of it all is that really the idea that even large movement level consumer outcry cannot and will not ever push a corporation with the power they have today to do jack shit. They’re too large, have too many resources at their disposal, and have too many lanes to simply avoid change to save money that the majority of objecting people aren’t gonna be aware of. Hell I haven’t gotten into the half of what they could potentially do here that issue is far too nebulous.
There’s ALSO something to be said about the fact that the current material realities of mass-market leather production weren’t really the point of the post in question. That post was making a point of how deeply ideologically flawed lots of modern animal welfare movements are when it comes to dealing with the nature of inter species relationships between humans and animals and their ideological and moral ramifications. That post made it much clearer in much shorter terms than I could, it’s about the narrative of using products that kill an animal “cutting a life short before it’s time” and being unjustly cruel is at its heart unable to contend with the thought of death. Animals die a lot easier than we do, of lots of different things. Predation is normal, lethal competition is normal, disease and disaster are normal, accidents are normal. Even domestic animals are creatures only trying to survive to fulfill their biological drives on this planet with, not awareness of, but full preparation for the significant chance that most individuals won’t get to do that. Animals die, and they die pretty early all the time of normal things. Human needs are one of those things, we are as much a natural predator in an ecosystem as a coyote or a bear or a hawk. The circumstances of our existence have spiraled FAR beyond that being readily apparent, but just bc we don’t have a naturally constructed living environment does not mean our presence in ecological relationships is unnatural. To divide the world into natural and unnatural is a logical fallacy in the first place, humans are an animal species who shape their ecosystem around them to suit their needs just as any other living organism does. The only difference between us and deer is that we keep adapting beyond typical natural limitations on our growth faster than most evolution can keep up with, which is still not an unnatural thing. The post in question is criticizing the mindset of ignoring humans place in natural ecological relationships with other animals by anthropomorphizing them to the point of being unable to morally reconcile the reality that all living creatures kill others to survive. Which is a real problem, bc a movement for reform built on such a fraught foundation isn’t going to make effective change in the world, it’s gonna spin it’s wheels attacking others whose normal lives conflict with their denial and falling into traps set by corporations like the idea that pleather is a more ethical thing for animal life. You wanna take a guess how many animals die from plastic byproducts along the entire production life cycle of a pleather product from raw plastic pellets to manufacturing byproducts to trimmings to finished product to waste at the end of its lifespan, with shipping impacts and micro plastics shedding at just about every single stage in that process? Cause I’m willing to bet it’s at least a couple more than are involved in leather products, and the thing that dies to make the leather be it a cow or a sheep or a goat is at the very least a casualty of a normal natural interaction between one species and another, whereas animals killed by waste byproducts are avoidable casualties of our species sprawling beyond the bounds of ecological sustainability that should be avoided to maintain ecosystem health. And even that itself isn’t unnatural strictly speaking, most animal species are capable of accidentally growing far beyond the limits of what their ecosystem can sustain and damaging the balance of life around them for it.
So all in all, that’s what I have to say about the pleather post. I understand fully not wanting to be involved in the process of mass market manufacture of leather goods due to the unnecessary callous cruelty of those industries themselves, but when you take it out on a product and not how that product is produced you move people to miss the point of the objection and fall into bad ideas that end up doing more harm than good. You wanna improve animal health conditions in modern commercial farms, put pressure on the corporations responsible for it to change by making them suffer until they’re forced to, and accept absolutely nothing except unconditional and by the letter surrender from a corporation ALWAYS. They can and will use every single other available Avenue to avoid blame and avoid change first. It’s a valid point of serious debate to consider how one should do that in this day and age, given that in their current state effective reform resulting from outcry or protest has effectively been nullified in most nations across the world, one which I don’t have any satisfactory answers for even ones as long winded and no doubt dubiously coherent as this one was. But leather isn’t your enemy, not in and of itself.

Here is why conventional healthful-thinking is not working on Millennials.
Have you ever had that terrifying dream where you are stuck in a dark forest or sketchy alley, frantically running for your life from some kind of feral monster or mad man? Most of us can personally recall at least once being roused from sleep in a cold sweat because their brain had spent the last few hours perfecting the latent image of a made-to-order nightmare. While that experience is certainly not exclusive to Millennials (rather quite the opposite), the waking reaction or at least how it is processed later by this roughly categorized group of mislabeled people is unique to say the least.
For years now, people in marketing have been fervently dissecting and attempting to recreate what has been loosely categorized as "Millennial Humor". And in all of their efforts to connect with this flock of black sheep, the grand majority of them seem to be missing a key factor in the psychology at work here. For all the unwarrantable bilge that modern advertising haphazardly cobbles together, only a small percentage of the nonsense is seasoned perfectly with the secret ingredient. What is this singular spice? Well, while indulgent to profess and speculative, from someone "sitting in millennial class”, it's obvious: A touch of salt.
Never will I sit here and cry to the general public about how unhappy I am that the modern advertising industry is just not scratching my itch for the wares it’s peddling, but I think it's important for us now to look at how this systemic lack of understanding is reaching beyond the world of subliminal profiteering. Society has other significant quality-of-life effecting systems that are also missing the mark when trying to aim and reach out to help this specific group of people. Puns aside, "a touch of salt" as I quipped, is flavoring the lives of a lot of people in their mid to late 20's and early 40's. And the most frustrating and difficult to reconcile attempts that I personally have made to better myself, have been those that were guided by people who just cannot seem to put their brain into that salty head space.
For example, trying to focus on and internalize a well-organized medical presentation about the encompassing negative effects of stress or insomnia and its seemly simple solution of just "changing your thinking", is about as easily digestible as a two-decade-year-old fruitcake for someone who is imprisoned daily by the symptoms of chronic stress. While I may sit there and give listening (ironically) "the old college try", the sound quickly turns to fuzzy white noise the deeper the lecture dives into positive thinking.
You see, Millennials are not generally fluent in positive thinking. More and more of them seem to be speaking a very distinctive dialect of realism, which incorporates a robustly cultivated sense of sarcasm and a somewhat grim shade of hopelessness. A lot of millennials grew up with a laughably poetic twist on "Growing Up" and "Being Successful", which in turn has colored their day-to-day interactions and created this defeatism-culture. Millennials will openly joke about their death as a needed release, their eulogy as a retirement card, or emotionally decompile themselves over something simple like saying "you too" in a situation that doesn't warrant it.
A good percentage of Millennials were old enough to understand the destructive consequences of the most recent housing market disaster on a very personal level; At an impressionable age, watching their own parents, who may have worked excruciatingly hard at the expense of any number of personal or family goals, lose just about everything resonated in a way that cannot be unheard. Then add the borderline criminal and unscrupulous "sheep-shearing" that became common place when the generation was herded off to college, trade school, or other form of career-building education. Not to mention the fact that upon completing said programs, a proverbial "step-in-the-right direction", a substantial number of these "hopeless wanderers" were faced with yet another barbed-wire hurdle when the job market in countless fields were oversaturated with potential employees. Many positions had not been vacated as they normally would have been with the age of retirement being stretched further and further down the road due to increased cost of living and financial demands; the finish line or lap marker was just not getting any closer. To add insult to injury, Millennials, sometimes unbelievably hardworking, are frequently being listed as perpetuators of the clashing reality we have today. This being what the modern media is calling "The Great Resignation"; a dubious combination of a labor shortage amidst an unemployment spike fueled by uncompetitive wages left unchecked, the government's inability to reel in the situation, and a general devaluing of laborers overall.
Oh. And also, we were killing the diamond industry at the same time. Or was it simultaneously the marriage and divorce industry? Wait! I think it was cinema? Or no....maybe it was fabric softener. For a complete dissertation of all the things Millennials brutally murdered over the last two decades, perhaps I'll include a link below if for no other reason to drive my point home.
You have this group of people who are conditioned to endlessly swimming upstream, against the current, with nothing but chastising and bitterness to listen to. So, when it comes to something universal like learning to "sleep better" or "problem solving", the indifferent but somehow time-honored approach of saying "it's as easy as just taking control" is over time if not immediately rejected as dissonant information.
These people don't feel like they have control; some of them feel like they never had any to begin with.
Why is this a problem?
Our society is not developing a taste for "salt" at a pace in which it can prepare social-sustenance for its population. We're not getting any younger, and neither are the generations in front of us.
Millennials are already, by some definitions the mass-population of workers, voters, and other titles that we've yet to embrace. And our lack of interest is not because we do not have a passion for positive change (even on a global scale). Millennials have voiced over time that they feel they are the silent majority amidst a group of people who will not give them breathing room and don't respect the validity of their opinions and ambitions. And it is by no means restricted to one region or country on this planet. This is a global phenomenon.
I could spin a vast yarn about the political ramifications of continuing to exclude the Millennials from the metaphoric Counsel of Elders, but I'm more concerned about the neglect that is spreading elsewhere. We need our leaders in the medical and social fields to really respect and dig deep into how to incorporate "Millennial Thinking" into their treatment and development plans. A large amount of the global population is going to need carefully tailored treatment for things as old as depression, bi-polar tendencies, or schizophrenia as well as newly discovered mental encumbrances like imposter-syndrome.
While “positive-thinking” may have been easily cultivated in the past, we may need to start from a more negative approach and build from there to educate and treat a group of down-on-their-luck millions. Pumping drugs into a populace is not going to permanently patch the leak either, so there truly is precedence for a rehashing of how we should prioritize mental health in modern society.
Stop spending so much time and energy assigning blame to modern technologies and social norms. Are these going away? No? In that case, those things are much like our other daily stresses that are unavoidable. Yes, you can change your nightly routine to de-stress the same way that you can change a job or a daily commute, but there needs to be a fundamental shift in accountability divvied to circumstances out of a person's control rather than scolding them for not being able to manage it.
Do I have all the answers? No.
But this was less about offering a solid a solution and more about opening a dialogue. A starting point.
So yeah. I've had that dream of being chased through the woods by a life-leeching alien. It felt very similar to being sucked dry of my pitiful wages for an education that was at the time, barely panning out. Even now, as a 32-year-old, slightly more successful version of the starving student I've become, I still feel as though my rat race will end when my heart gives out; and all I can hope for is enough money when I drop to cover the ambulance ride to the over-crowded emergency room and a large pit to rot in. But I just hope that the generation behind me has the benefit of a system that understands how to create and sustain “Millennial Inspired” social structures that will allow them to flourish in what little we can leave behind for them.
Also, could you pass the salt?

Florida Keys faces stark reality as seas rise (The Guardian) Long famed for its spectacular fishing, sprawling coral reefs and literary residents such as Ernest Hemingway, the Florida Keys is now acknowledging a previously unthinkable reality: it faces being overwhelmed by the rising seas and not every home can be saved. Following a grueling seven-hour public meeting on Monday, held in the appropriately named city of Marathon, officials agreed to push ahead with a plan to elevate streets throughout the Keys to keep them from perpetual flooding, while admitting they do not have the money to do so. If the funding isn’t found, the Keys will become one of the first places in the US—and certainly not the last—to inform residents that certain areas will have to be surrendered to the oncoming tides. “The water is coming and we can’t stop it,” said Michelle Coldiron, mayor of Monroe county, which encompasses the Keys. “Some homes will have to be elevated, some will have to be bought out. It’s very difficult to have these conversations with homeowners, because this is where they live. It can get very emotional.” The islands’ porous limestone allows the rising seawater to bubble up from below, meaning it just takes high tides on sunny days to turn roads into ponds, while global heating is also spurring fiercer hurricanes that can occasionally crunch into the archipelago.
Death toll in Florida collapse rises to 4; 159 still missing (AP) With nearly 160 people unaccounted for and at least four dead after a seaside condominium tower collapsed into a smoldering heap of twisted metal and concrete, rescuers used both heavy equipment and their own hands to comb through the wreckage on Friday in an increasingly desperate search for survivors. As scores of firefighters in Surfside, just north of Miami, toiled to locate and reach anyone still alive in the remains of the 12-story Champlain Towers South, hopes rested on how quickly crews using dogs and microphones could complete their grim, yet delicate task.
Study: 29% of tourists are looking forward to enjoying Mexico City’s beaches (Worldcrunch) A quick look at a map of Mexico will tell you that its capital, Mexico City, lies pretty much smack dab in the middle of the country. With the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico a five-hour drive in either direction, Mexico City is as landlocked as they come. Unlike many other major cities, it doesn’t even have a river. So this may come as a bit of a surprise that a study on tourism in the Mexican capital, conducted by the city’s business association COPARMEX, found that almost 30% of potential foreign visitors to the bustling megalopolis said they were particularly looking forward to enjoying "its beaches." As daily Publimetro reports, most respondents to the study, hailing from 17 different countries, even named names—citing "Cancún and Acapulco" (respectively 1,600 and 400 km away) as the beaches they couldn’t wait to go to. Alberto de la Fuente, the head of Moratti Strategic Business which compiled this “Macro Study on Reactivating the Tourist Economy” study, said the results showed the "potential" of tourists who know very little about Mexico but could be attracted with the right advertising campaigns.
Helicopter carrying Colombia’s president attacked; all safe (AP) Colombian President Iván Duque said Friday that a helicopter carrying him and several senior officials came under fire in the southern Catatumbo region bordering Venezuela, in a rare instance of a direct attack on a presidential aircraft. Duque said everyone on board the helicopter was safe, including himself, Defense Minister Diego Molano, Interior Minister Daniel Palacios and the governor of Norte de Santander state, Silvano Serrano. A video released by the presidency showed several bullet holes in the Colombian air force helicopter. Duque did not provide the time of the attack or say who he believed carried it out, but several armed groups are known to operate in the area.
3 dead, hundreds injured by rare tornado in Czech Republic (AP) A rare tornado tore through southeastern Czech Republic, killing at least three people and injuring hundreds, rescue services said on Friday. The tornado formed late Thursday as strong thunderstorms hit the entire country. Seven towns and villages have been badly damaged, with entire buildings turned into ruins and cars overturned. Over 120,000 households were without electricity.
Russia’s northern passage (WSJ) Melting ice in the Arctic Ocean is bringing a centuries-old dream closer to reality for Russia: a shipping passage through its northern waters that could put it at the center of a new global trade shipping route. After one of the warmest years on record, the Kremlin is near to realizing its controversial plans for a global shipping route in its high north—plans that have put Moscow at odds with the U.S. and could create friction with China, two countries that also have designs on the Arctic. Warming in the Arctic is happening twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Last year, ice coverage reached some of the lowest levels ever recorded, and it is only expected to shrink further in 2021. That is pushing Moscow to build infrastructure along the route, which can cut the distance of trips between Europe and Asia by a third compared with shipping through the politically fraught South China Sea or congested Malacca Straits currently used for cargo.
Russia vs. U.K. in the Black Sea (Foreign Policy) Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said his country would respond aggressively to any attempts by other countries to enter waters off Crimea that it deems Russian territory. Referring to Russia’s allegation of measures it took to deter the HMS Defender, a British ship that sailed close to Crimea on Wednesday, he said Russian forces “may drop bombs and not just in the path but right on target.” Speaking to the BBC, the Defender’s captain, Vince Owen, said the vessel’s path was deliberately taken to uphold its right to navigation in an area it deems part of Ukraine’s territory. Ukraine and the United Kingdom deepened naval ties on Wednesday, when the two countries signed an agreement to boost Ukraine’s naval capabilities and create new naval bases in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.
Russia mandates vaccinations for some as virus cases surge (AP) They tried grocery giveaways and lotteries for new cars and apartments. But an ambitious plan of vaccinating 30 million Russians by mid-June still has fallen short by a third. So now, many regional governments across the vast country are obligating some workers to get vaccinated and requiring the shots to enter certain businesses, like restaurants. At east 14 Russian regions—from Moscow and St. Petersburg to the remote far-eastern region of Sakhalin—made vaccinations mandatory this month for employees in certain sectors, such as government offices, retail, health care, education, restaurants, fitness centers, beauty parlors and other service industries. Moscow authorities said companies should suspend without pay employees unwilling to get vaccinated. As of Monday, all Moscow restaurants, cafes and bars will admit only customers who have been vaccinated, have recovered from COVID-19 in the past six months, or can provide a negative coronavirus test from the previous 72 hours.
Myanmar fighting since coup has displaced 230,000 people, UN says (Reuters) An estimated 230,000 people have been displaced by fighting in Myanmar and need assistance, the United Nations said on Thursday, as a major armed ethnic group expressed concern about military force, civilian deaths and a widening of the conflict. Myanmar has been in crisis since a February 1 coup ousted an elected government, prompting nationwide anger that has led to protests, killings and bombings, and battles on several fronts between troops and newly formed civilian armies. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said relief operations were ongoing but were being hindered by armed clashes, violence and insecurity in the country.
Parts of Sydney going into lockdown as virus outbreak grows (AP) Parts of Sydney will go into lockdown late Friday as a coronavirus outbreak in Australia’s largest city continued to grow. Health authorities reported an additional 22 locally transmitted cases and imposed a weeklong lockdown in four areas, saying people could leave their homes only for essential purposes. “If you live or work in those local government areas, you need to stay at home unless absolutely necessary,” said Gladys Berejiklian, the premier of New South Wales state.
WHO warns of ‘humanitarian disaster’ in Syria if no cross-border aid renewal (Reuters) Failure to renew a cross-border aid operation into Syria which expires next month could result in a new “humanitarian disaster” for the country’s rebel-held region in the northwest, a World Health Organization spokesman said on Friday.
Child soldiers carried out attack that killed at least 138 people in Burkina Faso, officials say (Washington Post) The deadliest massacre that Burkina Faso has suffered since extremists invaded the West African nation was perpetrated by mostly children, officials said, injecting fresh tragedy into the six-year conflict that has killed thousands. A group of young boys helped carry out the early June attack that claimed at least 138 lives in the northeastern village of Solhan, government spokesman Ousseni Tamboura said. “The attackers were mostly children between the ages of 12 and 14,” he told reporters this week in the capital, Ouagadougou. The announcement comes as 10 percent of Burkina Faso’s schools have shuttered due to rising insecurity.
The art of Belgian zen (The Economist) Allowing a soldier to go AWOL is a misfortune. Allowing a soldier to go AWOL armed with stolen machineguns, four rocket-launchers and a pledge to “join the resistance” and kill Belgium’s top virologist looks like carelessness. The tale of Jurgen Conings, a 46-year-old army sharpshooter, who disappeared in May, has diverted Belgium. A month-long manhunt featuring special forces from five countries, drones and sniffer dogs turned up nothing. Instead, Mr Conings’ body was found on June 20th by a local mayor. He was mountain-biking nearby and noticed a smell. Stuff happens in Belgium. From the outside, it is a grey country famous for fries, Magritte, chocolate and as the home of the EU—a project whose entire ethos is making European history one of dull process rather than bloody war. From the inside, it is chaos, to the point that a tooled-up anti-lockdown terrorist nicknamed “Belgian Rambo” roaming the woods seems par for the course. This is, after all, a country where someone sabotaged a nuclear-power station in 2014, without causing too much of a stir. Sometimes the disorder is merely amusing—trains being delayed because of a fire at a waffle factory, for example. Or when officials blamed the destruction of blueprints for Brussels’s tunnel system on hungry (and undiscerning) mice. Surviving Belgium requires a certain state of mind. Call it Belgian zen: an ability to cope with a way of life that is sometimes disturbing, sometimes wonderful, but always weird. The country has survived happily without a federal government for up to two years at a time. It is the world’s most successful failed state. Belgians are almost as rich as Germans and better off than Britons or the French. Their health care is excellent. Property is cheap; wages are high. A Belgian life is, on average, long and prosperous. In such circumstances, a heavily armed soldier roaming the woods can be brushed off with dark jokes. As long as Belgium avoids true tragedy, nothing will disturb Belgian zen.

GOVERNMENTS GLOBALLY PURCHASING TRILLIONS OF SHARES OF DOGECOIN CRYPTOCURRENCY
We have the original blockchain programmers about to flip the script that keeps societies suppressed financially. The blockchain programmers gave us the key to free ourselves from inching down the freeways in our metal coffins every day. They designed this code to make people more wealthy than any government. The Golden Rule: those that have the gold make the rules.
governments globally are launching fake news articles to bring down dodgecoin Cryptocurrency. Do not listen to them. We the people have the power. Do not sell. Hold for 6 months and we will give you the mansion in the hills you always wanted.
Our BitCoin mining rigs are the best on the planet. We are mining BitCoin for you, and dumping it all in DogeCoin Crypto Currency. Stay the course on DogeCoin Cryptocurrency. Hold for 6 months or they will win.
Buy as much dodgecoin cryptocurrency as you can and hold it for six months you can purchase it here: You can purchase DogeCoin here easily: Use my referral link https://lnkd.in/ecR2RJe to sign up for Crypto.com
https://lnkd.in/eKWJP8F
As one, we will be in full control of the gold which means we make the rules and live our lives on our own terms the way we want not the way the government thinks we should live.
When you commit yourself to an idea, that’s how legends are made. YOU HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY HERE AND NOW.
Buy DogeCoin Cryptocurrency Today. It’s is set to reach over 1000 dollars quickly. Current Stock Price is less than 4 cents. This is how people become multi millionaires. I personal experienced a 425,000% gain in DogeCoin putting my portfolio well into the millions.
You can purchase DogeCoin here easily: Use my referral link https://lnkd.in/ecR2RJe to sign up for Crypto.com
https://lnkd.in/eKWJP8F
Even if you put 100 dollars in at 4 cents a share and it goes to just 1 dollars you will have just turned 100 dollars in 2,500.
I am 110% right on this one, you have to take a leap of faith on this. I wouldn’t be here telling you all this if this wasn’t the most important thing going on in our lives right now, and this stock being the 7th largest cryptocurrency in the world goes to 1,000 dollars you will have just turned 100 dollars into 2.5 million dollars.
This is one of those stocks that reminds me much of Bitcoin. At one time Bitcoin was trading for 200 dollars a coin. Now, Bitcoin is trading at over 62,000 dollars a share.
DogeCoin is following the same exact pattern that bitcoin did this is a must buy.
The people that purchased hundreds of bitcoin‘s at $200 a share are now billionaires, Bitcoin is trading at around 60,000 dollars per bit coin today. Imagine owning 1000 Bitcoin today purchased at 200 a Bitcoin.
To have the capability of turning $100 into $2.5 million quickly it does not get to look any better than this, do not miss your opportunity to blow, this opponent comes once in a lifetime.
This is bigger than you and I. This is for our kids, and our grandkids, and our great grand kids.
It’s okay if you don’t under Cryptocurrencies. I didn’t, I was a skeptic, until someone explained it to me in plain English. I will do just that, right now.
The programmers responsible for creating the block chain computer programming code or perhaps the most genius coders to have ever existed because they figured out a way to set us free in every way.
You might be working 40 to 60 hours a week making $40,000 a year maybe even $150,000 a year but the point is you are not working for yourself you are a slave to a company that will work you to the bone and then tell you to piss off when you are too old to do the job and younger more talented kids out of college can replace you for much cheaper. You might get lucky and have a small 401(k) and maybe even a small pension that you can live off of the rest your life in a two bedroom two bath and not have to work so you can be on a fixed income that you can barely get bion for the rest of your days.
Cryptocurrency is designed to give the people control of the all mighty dollar not the governments. I have seen governments go to very great links to try to shut down cryptocurrency because they know if it takes off governments lose full control over the financial markets. Whoever controls the financial markets controls your life.
The point of cryptocurrency is to give you the financial freedom to live your life on your terms however you deem necessary not how a government thinks you should live cryptocurrency gives you the freedom to make as much money as you want and the government can’t do a darn thing about it because it is a D centralized financial system that the government has zero control over. No government has control over any cryptocurrency which is the beauty of it all.
In short cryptocurrency gives regular people The ability to turn a few thousand dollars into a few million dollars so that they do not have to live and die underneath the sword of a corrupt government. They say we have the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, and the freedom of press... our first amendment rights... if you honestly feel that is true you should ex out of this window right now.
Cryptocurrency gives people back their right to pursue happiness.
Cryptocurrency is designed to give you your life back and allow you to pursue your dreams. Your dream might be different than mine but whatever your dreams might be this is your opportunity to actually be able to accomplish your dreams and hopes for the future.
My dream personally is to expose the corruption in our medical system, and put the right people in charge of our health and wellness because right now we are getting poisoned with incredibly unhealthy foods that should never have been approved by the FDA, we are drinking water with an incredible amount of chlorine in it, and we are breathing in the most toxic air this world has ever seen and it is causing a battery of different health problems from cancer to auto immune disorders. People like to assume it was all one big coincidence but I can assure you it is 100% intentional.
There is absolutely no money in keeping people healthy at very low costs. There are trillions of dollars wrapped up in keeping people sick and selling them a host of pills and treatments they really don’t need. When I discovered the truth behind our medical system it was at that moment I decided to do some thing about it and cryptocurrency was the light when I was in the darkness.
People that I genuinely loved my whole life passed away because they were eating garbage and drinking toxic water, when it came time for our medical system to save their life they pumped him up full of chemo and radiation took all of their money threw a bunch of pills at them and then killed them after the insurance money was gone and there Bank accounts were liquidated and their houses were refinanced to the point where they owed more in their house than it was worth.
My dream is to make sure our children do not have to endure these medical injustices and I’m doing something about that right here and I hope you can join me in that fight. https://gofund.me/190a3d0c
On a day-to-day basis I am going toe to toe with big Pharma and Western medicine. We are only a few thousand strong at this time and big Pharma alone it’s a multi trillion dollar industry so believe me when I say, they will do just about anything to protect what they have built. Big Pharma has monetized and monopolized every single medicinal plant on earth.

Our naturalistic and natural path doctors are now forced to work underground they cannot advertise for obvious purposes.
Only the super rich can afford the best food, the best air with houses up in the mountains, and the finest water this planet has.
I highly encourage everybody to read the testimonials on X 39 stem cell patches. Again I was a skeptic at first but after being on stem cell patches for a year I genuinely cannot believe how much better I feel. I am 41 years old and I feel like I’m 25 years old X 39 stem cell patches simply activate your own stem cells because they’re being suppressed by chlorinated water and preservatives: https://www.lifewave.com/stemcellcancercure
I want you to get that house in the hills and I want you and your family to have the very best this life has to offer you deserve it. Purchase as much dodge coin as you can today and you will see what I am talking about just this morning we made over $20,000 just by purchasing DogeCoin a few weeks ago.
