In the 00s my uncle was in a position where Monsanto was suing him for not holding up his end of the contract, because he had a bad crop year. Anyway, my grandparents bailed him out by financing a lawyer who settled for him, and it really didn't fix the problem at all. He still lost his farm, my grandparents were no longer wealthy because they kept trying to help him, and the uncle died a couple years later to cancer (probably driven by stress). They bailed him out because they were afraid he'd kill himself over the farm, and it took him out anyway

They are a lynx species but they don't have the stereotypical long tufts on their ears like most people think of. They are relatively common to see even in suburban areas in Fl
Oh. I forgot how confusing the name is lol. When I read jaguar I think "spotted cat", Florida panthers are Puma not Panthera.
For what it's worth, I have seen a melanistic jaguar in Florida at a wildlife refuge
But the elderly people already lose so many toy dogs to alligators, how can they be expected to deal with big cats?? /j
We still had Florida panthers when I was a kid, but there were a lot of people killing them for trophies. Damn, wiki says there's only ~200 left :(
Thank you for being more eloquent with your reply than I was able to be. That purity test comment made me see red. Where else are disenfranchised groups to go, but to the left? How can we be represented if the only place we can turn refuses to represent us?
To be fair, most Americans don't pay any attention to Canadian politics (or any other country tbh). So Doug's jacked up policies go in one ear and out the other because they very broadly don't affect Americans.
I was speaking with an older lady about who could be as energizing for the left as Bernie for the next election, I said AOC and maybe Jasmine Crockett on the same ticket. (which is a pipe dream, I'm sure)
Anyway, she said Gavin Newsom, and didn't believe me when I said he's a centrist. And I couldn't understand why she even felt he's a leftist. He must have some good pr somewhere that I'm not looking lol
Yeah, we went from the first flight to people on the moon in only 66 years. So there's no real reason to cut into record profits now, they'll have reversing it figured out by the time the collapse happens!

This already happened last time dipshit was president
Wyoming is next to a couple other states with significant Native American populations. The thing about vaccines is there's a lot of resistance in those populations, especially if it's white people administering them. Some of that crowd immunity we expect to have really needs to protect them too, and without it, they will be devastated by white people's policies again.
That's a very simplified statement without much cultural context, but I think it's so painful to blame the ~500k people in one large, mostly rural, largely uneducated state for this when much denser voting populations did too
