Are The Seeds I Just Planted Your Food?

[Into the Night]

Realtors love buying up farmland. They divide it up into small lots and sell them to city assholes coming here to retire.

Land developers, actually. Realtors only sell the land. It is the land developer that goes to the county to subdivide the land.

...and? What does this have to do with a farm or ranch?

These trailers look abandoned.

That's the truth. People are wonderfully blissfully ignorant of a lot.

They flush something down the toilet and it's forgotten, like some kind of magick black hole. I've been to the sewage treatment plants to install instrumentation there. I know what city people flush down the toilet. You can see a lot about society in a wastewater treatment plant!
They don't think about what goes on in kitchens of restaurants, auto repair centers, aircraft maintenance centers, tanneries, sewer systems that need to be maintained, electrical power stations or the wonderful guys that work on the lines to bring it to your city...willing to work in any crappy weather, and often climbing up a pole to do it (no bucket lift available!).

They just don't think about what it takes to make that meal, get power out of the wall, get that water supply working, deal with sewage and plumbing systems for it, fix that car, get that airplane flying again working in any weather despite the ingrates in the terminal building whining about their late flight.

You and I really don't like entitled people.

It was a joke in reply to RB 60 about rotten food arriving from California.

If you want fresh burgers, eggs, lettuces, and such, go directly to the farmers themselves.

And ship in the food from California

What food? While some farms and ranches are still functioning in the SODC, they are not functioning well, and many others have essentially been abandoned.

Nope

We love California

It’s you that hate farmers in Cali ass crack

No, I do not hate farmers in the SODC. I feel sorry for them. They are trapped. They want to leave the SODC but they are having trouble selling their land. The SODC now imports much of their food and supplies.

Can't buy fresher!

I used to live in Hawaii. People here do not have any idea what a fresh pineapple takes like, what a fresh coconut tastes like, etc.
Coconut is particularly loathsome here in the States. It takes like sawdust here by comparison.

Oddly enough, one of the most popular dishes in Hawaii today is Spam. They can't get enough of it! It's all imported.

Dave Barry said it best I think:
"No matter what culture or people you visit, we all have one thing in common...we're all crazy!"
