The man behind Trump today was @FarmBureau lobbyist Zippy Duvall who OPPOSES mandatory country of origin labeling, wants to MANDATE RFID tags for cattle, defends the CORRUPT check-off program that takes money from farmers, & SUPPORTS beef regulations that block small processors.

This is the outcome America will get unless things change.
The best year in the history of the American cattle business is the year the ranchers are leaving.
He sells his calves for the highest prices anyone can remember.
He watches the national herd fall to its smallest since 1951.
He watches the calf crop fall to its smallest since 1941.
He sees his neighbours quit in the best market in living memory.
He hears the President tell him to get his prices down.
He watches that President quadruple the beef coming in from Argentina.
He loses the packing plant that employed a third of the nearest town.
He counts four companies standing between his gate and the plate.
He finds every incentive pointing at selling the herd and none at rebuilding it.
The record price is real and he is finally getting it, ten years too late. It arrived after a decade of drought and forced selling that took the equity, the neighbours and the moment to expand, and it arrives now as the reward for having something left to sell rather than as a reason to breed more.
Because rebuilding means keeping back the heifers he could sell today at the best price of his life, feeding them through two winters, and betting on a market three years out that his own government is filling with cheap imports on purpose.
On Friday it filled it again. Three hundred thousand tonnes of foreign ground beef, tariff free for ninety days, sold at a quarter under the price he is getting, announced as the thing that will help him rebuild.
Best prices in history. Fewest ranchers in seventy five years.
Fifty years they told him his beef was killing the country. Now it costs too much, and that is his fault as well.

See, here's the thing.
I don't have any major problems with Apple products. Quality may have slipped on the software side recently, but ok, things happen. New guy in charge soon, maybe that turns around. And their hardware is undeniably great. I still enjoy using Apple products, and I'm cheering Apple on. The industry benefits when Apple's at the top of their game.
But also... Omarchy is super interesting and super good. I try to be a curious person, and Omarchy presents an opportunity for me to stretch my curiousity, crack some habits, and try a novel different approach on for size. Linux!? I never thought. But here I am, and I'm here for it.
I mean this is what we ask our HEY and Basecamp customers to do. Try something new! Be open! Be curious! We don't make software like everyone else. Our products don't look or work like anyone else's. We have a very different point of view than the mainstream. And those open to shedding their perception of what they think they need, are always in for a treat when they walk through our doors.
I've essentially been following the Apple way for 40 (!) years. Maybe it's time for a break? Omarchy feels good for my brain! And I really like it! Getting more and more used to it every day. It's now my primary computer. The Macbook is sleeping, clamshell closed, under a pile of papers. The Dell XPS 16 w/ Omarchy is bright and alive. I'm writing this on it right now.
I try to live my life by a few simple principles. One of those is to Like More Things. I wish that for you too.
Getting you on board with Omarchy is the dark horse in this "year of the linux desktop" persusasion race.
You don't seem inherently interested in the technology itself. Design, esthetics, how it feels to use it, yes. But you're not the nerd of 37 signals, David is.
If YOU like using Omarchy, it's a big tell that this OS is just GOOD. Feels good to use. Helps you get work done. etc.
I'm sure there's other factors in there, but thats my read on it.
If Jason will use this thing, it's GOOD.

I bought it because that's what my brother…

This needs to be said over and over again in the cattle industry. Keep beef on the land. Keep freedom. More hooves on soil. #TikTok tiktok.com/t/ZTMDpEqHT/
