Was just in Yellowstone (aka Yellow Stoner) and was amazed to see how much they charged compared to California, Washington and Colorado.
Then I realized they cater to Wyoming and Idaho for their weed needs and it made sense from a supply/demand perspective.
The bigger wtf here is someone actually reads AOL.com still.
Fact time: 75% of Americans AND Europeans are considered chronically dehydrated.

Love how you stopped reading when you read something you disagreed with.
I never said they weren't Republicans, I said such below that. Farmers will vote for whomever helps keep their way of life alive. Period. You may want to read the entire post.
I got the sarcasm reference, but your post was the best one to tag onto for my reply hehe.
As to wtf they were thinking, a couple of the American Ag Associations have been telling us they believe that the megafarms aka factory farms have further bought out the current administration as they did with previous administrations.
A majority of Farmers are not nor have they ever been partisan. They just want their way of life to continue. Democrats were the first to be bought out by lobbyists from the likes of Tyson, Cargill, CHS and others though, thus why most farmers rallied, albeit stupidly, behind Republicans.
It was just a matter of time before Republicans turned their back on US small farmers in favor of lining their own pockets and ideals.
Small farmers were already hurting:
July is prime fruit harvesting time across the lower 48 US States.
Off the top of my head: In July we harvest corn, beans, squash, zucchini, cucumber, avocados, tomatoes, peaches, plums, blueberries, cherries and rhubarb.
100% sure I am missing dozens more, but that's the limit of what my family's farm has grown over the decades.

People don't realize how much doctors leverage opening old books, reading subscription articles and looking at case files to help their patients out.
Anything that can aide in the diagnosis and treatment of patients is a good thing, even if it's AI.

American barn owls (aka Tyto furcata) can eat baby bunnies, which does help control populations:

From the paywall link:
Lisa Tate is a sixth-generation farmer in Ventura County, California, an area that produces billions of dollars worth of fruit and vegetables each year, much of it hand-picked by immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
Tate knows the farms around her well. And she says she can see with her own eyes how raids carried out by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the area’s fields earlier this month, part of President Donald Trump’s migration crackdown, have frightened off workers.
“In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone,” she said in an interview. “If 70% of your workforce doesn’t show up, 70% of your crop doesn’t get picked and can go bad in one day. Most Americans don’t want to do this work. Most farmers here are barely breaking even. I fear this has created a tipping point where many will go bust.”
I buy these and swap as needed
