Milking 'em 'til They Bleed

Sounds like it's time for a dump truck full of manure to visit the Statehouse. [More]

And for a farmer strike. And for a lot more, but that requires a bit more awakening.

Who'd have ever thought jockeying for subsidies and special legislative considerations would lead to a senior "partner"?  Who among livestock raisers could have imagined the hand that feeds might have motives other than filling recipient bellies? Or that "giveth" can turn into "taketh away"?

Thirsty yet?  Don't worry, preferred constituents have plenty.

What is it about "progressives" and agriculture?

And official media co-conspirators...?

So when California attempts to secede, are we going to cut off the flow of the Colorado river where it crosses the border?

California says "Today dairy cattle, tomorrow beef cattle".

I've known for years what they're after- charge a carbon tax per head, while giving ranchers a 'credit' for the carbon their grasslands and woodlands 'sequester'. VOILA! Total control.

How the hell do they plan to keep ruminants from farting? Stick a collecting tube up their asses? It's not the animals themselves who generate the methane, it's the bacteria in their gut which does it. Without that bacteria, ruminants would not be able to digest the cellulose which comprises the bulk of their food. Guess they could enforce a vegan lifestyle but then humans would become major methane producers. The bacteria in our gut produce methane using any complex sugars we consume. Even if they completely ban consumption of animal based foods (even eliminating dairy and eggs) vegans fart. If they are consuming the proper variety of foods to preclude protein deficiency, the bacteria in their gut are going to generate methane. What about the methane produced by the bacteria in the digester stage of sewage treatment? With the number of people living in Kali, that has to be a non-trivial amount of gas.

And yet again Kali demonstrates why it is the granola capitol of the world. They have more fruits, nuts and flakes per square mile there than any other place in the face of the whole spinning planet.
