1. That's what I said to a KRASNOV veteran who exploded about my "bringing up politics/KRASNOV all the time".

I don't know whether he votes or is just apolitical. When he said the word "welfare" I said that it was a code word wingnuts use and that he/they don't think twice about the billions big farmers get, apart from the military-industrial contractors. He *exploded* and said that THOSE are not "welfare," are SUBSIDIES!1 He also said he doesn't want to hear politics from me again. I said that censoring part of ourselves is no kind of authentic interaction and that I guess we can't count on his veteran status to save the country.

4. It seems that RFK Jr is worried about the food supply. Me to. It is simple as I like cola. In fact I loose more weight

when I drink sugared cola than when I drink the Coke Zero and diets. My problem is the sugared is HFC made from modified corn. Corn that is modified to be made into ethanol for cars. Really has very little nutritional value compared to many years ago,

I like sweet, I don't eat or drink much sweet stuff but I would like the have something that is real sweetner, that my body knows what to do with it. I don't mind a lot of the other crap in my food and drink, but me being 77, I want the real stuff.

5. They've paid their protection money to the RNC and Turnip's "fund" -- why a 2nd term POTUS still has a campaign fund --

paid to SpaceX and other Musk companies - and maybe even ask how he gets away with launching rockets that tend to explode over populated areas.
