that's what I say. Do not let tech fascistas take over the whole galaxy, NOPE. The plan is delusional bernays sauce to sell mass surveillance, cementing its place in the duopolist's war economy. To beat Comcast or AT&T I guess, more pap for the masses. Do not give away your last shred of personal privacy, of personal freedom, to fascist investors selling 'disruptive services". uber alles

P.S. I finally bought a tomato, an heirloom one for six dollars. It was okay, but not worth six dollars. Half went in to a cold chickpea salad, the other went on the cheese grill with some french bread and dijon mustard. I am still trying to offload pieces of art but nobody likes art within proximity. Except the wealthy pigs, who already hate my face. mutual feelings

Over decades, Wetzel cultivated markets across California, in Texas and in other U.S. states to the point of shipping 175,000 cases last year. But he had never sought business abroad until he visited China two years ago. With his sons taking over day-to-day operations and sales, Wetzel and his wife, Linda, who oversees the winery’s bookkeeping, were looking for a new adventure.
“Twenty years from now, China could be the largest wine market in the world,” Wetzel said. “We want to be ready.”
At Shanghai’s trade show, they met Rose and Jack Sun, a young couple who operate Shindy Wine. “It was the kind of small operation I was looking for,” Wetzel recalled. “They had one Australian wine, one Chilean and one producer in France. I get more attention as their only U.S. wine.”

If money is speech and corporations are people, he ain't dead. Just invested. And still making noise.

Christian Poirier, a program director for the nonprofit Amazon Watch, said that farmers were clearly emboldened by Bolsonaro to burn forests. “The fires currently ravaging the Amazon are directly related to President Bolsonaro’s anti-environmental rhetoric, in which he errantly frames forests and forest protections as impediments to Brazil’s economic growth. Farmers and ranchers understand the president’s message as a license to commit arson with wanton impunity, in order to aggressively expand their operations into the rainforest.”

Good morning, Tim ~~~
After owning an iPad four years, I finally know a few editing tricks, taught to me, of course, by a youngster!
First week of the semester has been uneventful, thank goodness. Glad it's finally Friday.
Have a lovely day and weekend, folks!

From the New York Post:

We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.
Gee, wonder where that money came from?
Helluva pension.
