There are an estimated 20 quadrillion ants alive on Earth at any given moment.

Ants are an excellent source of protein.

By dry weight, adult ants consist of 30% to 60% protein"a ratio that often surpasses traditional meat sources like beef or chicken.

If chicken and beef is too expensive eat ants.

And only 2 dolls and 2 pencils per customer please.

Its not about climate change is it?

Cattle are the No. 1 agricultural source of greenhouse gases worldwide. Each year, a single cow will belch about 220 pounds of methane. Methane from cattle is shorter lived than carbon dioxide but 28 times more potent in warming the atmosphere, said Mitloehner, a professor and air quality specialist in the Department of Animal Science.

Screwing up and then expecting the general population to adapt to the screw-up by modifying normative culture is something lazy, incompetent, and corrupt leaders pray for.

When Americans want hamburgers, they want hamburgers. They don't want to be told at first how you will make hamburgers cheaper and then be told later that they need chicken because beef is too expensive.

MAGA is going down in November, and Trump is declaring a national emergency. In which the scarcity of hamburger will only increase.

just keep blathering platitudes that have no real definition, corky.

I love it. You keep blathering on as though you are making a point.

But all you're doing is having fun at a costume party. BTW, you should probably get another costume. Going as Freddy Mercury is getting old....

I did make a point... she's one of many incompetent loyalists in a Cabinet full of incompetent loyalists, which is enough to trigger a lot of people.

Not loyal Republicans who can't make an argument and have to rely on ad hominem alone, obviously, but a lot of other people.

97. We used to have neighbors who couldn't stand it that the people they loathed didn't welcome them in to their quite large group.

Their seven-year-old was the only one in the family who made any sense.

bullshit. you came in and made me the issue. Not the Sec. of Ag.

correct me if I'm wrong. 91 was your first post on this thread. And it was about me.

Unless you believe I'm a member of Trump's cabinet.

- it was about me.

It was about Willowby's comment about 'adapting' rather opposing corruption in the People's Gov.

Of course, everything here is about you, which is why you went into full-blown ad hominem right away.

I certainly was. And I'll bet everyone here is doing incredibly well now.
Am I wrong?

Trump is the first president where I can both definitevly say no, and point directly to his policies from anti-trade to bombing Iran that caused it. It wasnt this retarded his first term.

I used the term "everybody" to dare some here to challenge me.

Of course, there has to be some people who can point to specific policies that have individually harmed themselves.

I have clients who have suffered from some of Trump's policies. and yes....tariffs, trade, etc.....and immigration as well..

but most here don't have anything to lose or they're too dumb to really know how they are being impacted.

They're just watching a sporting event.

My question is...what happens when/if chicken gets too expensive as well? Do we start harvesting our house pets? The yard in front of my abode occasionally has rabbits munching on the weeds in the morning, so I could break out the crossbow I suppose, then turn the pelts into coats or something to sell by the roadside. Again...another meticulously planned win for Private Equity? We're getting played like rubes at the carnival.

Never counted on a politician to improve my life. Adapt and overcome

Meanwhile. Republicans are making lives worse for a lot of Americans.

You're not personally affected?

Congratulations.

You're a libertarian. You enjoy all the benefits of living in a society while pretending you don't need any of it.

You live a lie, every day.

Normalizing the America Trump is creating failing for you?

You poor thing.

#121 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-09-24 12:17 PM | Reply

I only normalize that which is actually normal.

The other 99% of what Trump does I don't normalize at all.

Thinking like that is loser talk. I'd say you're already in trouble dutch; you a Muslim? PoC? You can get away with a lot if you're part of those select demographics.

If you're White, well, you're screwed, no crossbow for you! Good luck!

Republicans are making lives worse for a lot of Americans.

I would say politicians of all walks of life are making lives worse for Americans.

It's hard, or it lands on deaf ears, for a Californian to blame Republicans for anything that's happening in our State.

Grandparents raised rabbits for food. Other family ate locust. Any kind if fish would do.

Chickens and beef? Guess poor ancestry would say that's probably an upgrade.

In the end, growing up eating pb&j and hot dogs because other foods were expensive, people just need to realize there is other food to eat.

As if the federal government has no impact on what happens in the states.

You're moron.

And why are you worried about the plight of the disadvantaged white man? Unless you're done pretending to be asian?
