Let's be honest, nobody is resisting the gay chemicals.

Nobody.

Fight as we may, the gayness comes for all of us. Maybe you use the word ''fantastic'' in a sentence. Maybe you watch a movie just because Ryan Reynolds is in it. Maybe one day you think an ascot would be a fantastic accoutrement.

....oh god.

We still have some land in our family, but it's been leased out to the people actually farming it. It's been some nice income (there's also a couple oil wells on the property, but those are drying up) for my grandma's retirement. I was checking out margins in that area and it seems as though you can make some decent scratch. Wheat production in that area of the world has expenses of about 78 cents on the dollar. If someone were to make a go of it we'd need a few more quarter sections though, and those are about 300g per quarter.

Yeah, something to consider is that if you have a 1000 acre farm for example you will not be able to farm the 1000 acres most likely. Here we have conservation laws, in the Amazon you can only farm 20% of it, in other regions it's between 65-80% but more importantly some area is rocky, other parts are not flat, others are too waterlogged.
If I was the dictator I'd just raze the Amazon and make a giant parking lot out of it but for now I have to follow the laws of man and nature.
78 cents on the dollar is fantastic, no conventional investment would beat it even considering land costs.

I was honestly a little surprised at the number but honest to goodness, that's what winter wheat goes for. Now, your entire land can't all be winter wheat and not all of the crops are as profitable. But the land is just super high quality in that area. The bread basket of Canada.

With 1000 acres I would probably contract a lot of the seeding and harvesting which would cut into the profit.

Dude, come on. He's certainly well-researched on his niche policy expertise, but there is not a whole lot of breadth to his knowledge, which is why he has unwittingly recycled reactionary talking points about salt-of-the-earth rural white folks being the real victims of the modern era (in fact, rural people still have enormously disproportionate political power and are becoming greater beneficiaries of subsidy from urban centers) and inadvertently conflated the rural working class with white supremacists.

I wouldn't even go that far (that he's well-researched on his niche policy). He's just talking a myth that is common among tech people and offering a crude fix for it.

There is little real cause for concern about automation causing mass unemployment, and if there were, a small UBI wouldn't be a good solution for it (it would be better to put all the money spent on the UBI toward building an SWF, for example).
 
At work on 4 hours of sleep.

This whole, living out of boxes/sleeping on a shitty camping pad for 1.5 months thing is finally starting to take a toll.

Swamp cooler is about the only "eh" thing going for it but the landlord straight up told us Friday when we went to look at it "our intention was to have central air installed 2 years ago but tenants keep treating the house like garbage and breaking stuff so we don't have the financial capital to do it"

Me and my buddy look at each other:
"If we as tenants replaced the tile that needs replacing and the carpet on our own dime would you potentially?..."
"I probably could yes"

Good play. Central air is a must.
 
How are we looking with the Trotsky progress guys?

Has anyone other than @Lead put in a good word for me?

For sure AC is superior in most ways, but Utah is swamp cooler central and they work especially well in that climate- the added humidity is nice and they don't get as rofl-stomped by high temps like you find in AZ or NM. @Gregolian don't forget to unhook and drain it for the winter...

Especially in Utah for the summer months.

Granted, my bedroom is probably the one in the basement so it'll be nice and cool but still.
