    Having a bunch of shadow puppets controlling the food supply is scarier than most of the other trump related bullshit.

    So, regularatory capture is now announced to fanfare?

    Fuck me. If our treasonous legislature hadn’t been cutting funding for decades, there would be no problem to solve. This is a bullshit “solution” to an engineered problem.

    The food supply is one of the main levers that the working class has to put pressure on the ruling class. “Securing” the food supply means taking away the possibility for farmers to protest.

    Farm security is national security. Through this partnership, Palantir is empowering USDA with core capabilities that will enable it to secure American farmland, enhance supply chain resilience, and shield agricultural programs from fraud, abuse, and foreign adversary influence. In doing so, USDA will gain critical visibility into risks that can affect America’s agricultural production and food supply.

    I’m curious about what this’ll look like in practice.

    Because it sounds like the US federal government is about to make total surveillance a prerequisite for subsidies.

      I’m confident you’re correct. Also, as always, the surveillance isn’t for the reason they state; it’s just an excuse. They want to monitor all the people. They’ll be able to track when and where everyone goes in rural areas. Urban areas are mostly covered by Flock.

      Rice is a major staple food in our house. We’ve always avoided rice from the US as several studies have shown higher heavy metal levels in most American grown rice.

        This does not negate our food ranking for safety when compared to the rest of the world no matter how much you might like it to be otherwise.

        Think about what I said vs what you think I said before you decide to reply to me.

          I did. Now think about what’s in your food at 3rd place and consider how much worse it’s going to get.

      There is a reason their stock was like 600x price:earnings, now it’s “only” 242x. Tech stocks are aggressive at 30-80x.

      When the fix is in, the fix is in.
