Listening to NPR while creeping in the crosstrek picking up tacos for the family.
“Young people have never been more connected. They also have never been alone. Children don’t have friends. They have an audience to cater to.”
Fuck. That’s a buzz kill.
Was listening to NPR as I usually do when I slide in the Crosstrek. They interviewed the head of commodities for Missouri ag Econ.
He mentioned 1% of producers hedge fuel (wow)
He also said the only thing farmers can do is ask for help.
So just beg?
Stupid.
Not surprised to see Bolsonaro with the performance in Brazil elections.
Through work, I met with Brazilians and got to travel to SP. For an enterprising Brazilian who wants to make their country wealthy Bolosnaro is the clear choice.
No shame in wanting to get rich.
