  45.  @winry2357  I just saw the strike thing the other day. 5000 nurses, yeah that will make a difference. 150k hr types... not so much. I worked in factories, on a farm, and in the US military with women. Here is how it always worked out. Men did the dirty, dangerous, heavy lifting work, women did the light, safe, clean work, and when women had to go out on the heavy lifting jobs with me, I had to do all the heavy lifting, pulling her weight and mine. The consequence of that is I am massive, overly muscled, and very physically strong because my military job involved serious heavy lifting. The women got paid the same as any other rank, even when they did a fraction of the work men did. In the factories men ran all the machines, did the technical work like running precision machines, heavy lifting (like chrome plate) , and the dirty dangerous jobs where you are covered with 200F oils and compounds for your entire shift. Women sat around in tank tops and shorts, doing visual inspection and other very light work. We all were paid the same, depending on how long we had been working there. And after a year and a half, it was the same pay for everyone. So far I have yet to find a woman who can equal the work I have done, or still can do, in a day... and I am 54, crippled from the two wars, and live with chronic pain. Mind you, I like women a lot, have two daughters, one of which (is 27) likes repairing her truck herself, and she is learning fast. However she cannot do things I can do, like lift a Th400 transmission up and stuff it in a car/truck. When survival is on the line, women are held back away from the danger. Not that they really want to be involved with the difficult, dirty, and dangerous stuff anyway. They want the accolades and status we get for doing that, but they don't want the actual work. Besides, if they try to keep up with one of us, they break in a matter of weeks.

  74.  @winry2357  yeah, inspection, light work, things like that. Women do that all the time. Also HR, and other office jobs. You're not the one changing valves for the boilers, now are ya? My ex is the township VFD fire chief, because she can't pull anyone else because she is 130lbs, can't do the physical part of it well enough that anyone would trust her, and nobody else wanted to do the job. Ten years ago when we got divorced because she stepped out while I was laid up with a respiratory issue, she brought her boyfriend/soulmate on the department. The other 12 members quit at the township meeting where she added him, because they all knew him and loathed him. Then he left her less than 4 years later. Would you like to hear how 99% of the vehicle mishaps and safety write ups I had to do in the USAF as the safety NCO for my duty section were because of females? You kinda need to have a decent ASVAB score to get in the USAF... although they lowered the requirement for my job when they combined it with the female dominated job that worked along side us. The females did passenger service, the rest of us did air cargo. They used to have us handle all the baggage for them before the two jobs combined. When we deployed, the women sat in the AC of the passenger terminal while the rest of us threw a few hundred 90lb bags out of the belly of the 747s and L1011s bringing people in, and then loaded the bags for the people going home. When females screwed up twice, they were put in a position where they couldn't hurt anything. When a male screwed up twice he was kicked out. I had one female who could operate equipment competently. She was a pudgy red head who grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. She was the only female I trusted to handle things on her own, and she never let me down. The rest of them were in the way, causing problems, and making unfounded assertions against people. The attitudes they had were reprehensible, but I couldn't do anything about it or they claimed I did something untoward of a lascivious nature, their alternate was to say I was being mean to them. I treated them exactly the same as I treated the males, but they wanted to be special. Then I was forced to give them the best performance reports regardless of what they did, and my best males and I did not get the best, we got one step down. Favoritism is alive and well in the US military, as is special treatment for females... its even worse in the civilian world.

  96.  @BringDHouseDown  nah.. the seeds probably blew out of a passing truck from another field and grew 'volunteer' as farmers call it, meaning not planted by them. Monsanto said the entire crop was now theirs because some volunteer plants on the edge of the field were patented. Imagine if you will, that you own a car (I know, there is no need for one since your mom drives you around :P) and that someone drives by then claims dirt from their car splattered yours, so now they own your car and you must pay them for it. Almost all seeds have now been patented, meaning you have to pay people to use them, and you are not allowed to use seeds you have been planting for generations, just because seeds from some company found their way into your field. Cross pollination means genetic material from the volunteer seeds is now included in your seeds. Historically farmers would plant enough to eat, some to sell, and enough for seeds to plant next year. The paradigm now is to buy hybrid seeds from a large company that produce a diminishing yield if you plant them in subsequent years. Job/profit security.. That tactic has been used many times, along with propaganda to get people to support it. The Volstead Act was not about getting people to stop drinking, it was ineffective at that. What it was intended to do was eliminate competition from Rockefeller's Standard Oil from being produced or sold in the US. You had to get a license, and they were expensive and rarely handed out. You see, before prohibition vehicles were mostly running on ethanol, not gasoline. Farmers could produce their own fuel to run vehicles and farm equipment, they ran cooler, lasted longer, and made more power than gasoline powered alternatives. How to get people to buy your inferior product? Outlaw the competition. It was so effective that after 7 December 1941 the US had to build massive ethanol plants to produce torpedo fuel, octane enhancers and power boosting ethanol for planes. Few people know that the ME262 and the HE162, the two first operational jet fighters ran on ethanol, aka potato vodka. After the war the oil companies took out a full page ad in the paper, made it look like a news paper headline, claiming the ethanol producers in the USA were using rum from the Caribbean. It was not true, but that did not matter, within 6 weeks all the companies that sprang up to feed airplanes and torpedoes went bankrupt. Monsanto and the rest are simply doing what corporations and feudal lords have been doing forever. Using the power of law to protect their profits at the expense of the rest of us. Here lately they want to rule over us, and profit from us, while we live under a totalitarian marxist bullshit system. They don't want any more people doing what Elon Musk and Bezos have done.... build an empire of their own. Blaming the farmers is the latest thing in the propaganda war, and far too many ignorant NPCs fall for it.

  102. Not only do farmers work harder than city people can imagine, they are also far more intelligent and business savvy than urban people give them credit for. You cannot be an idiot and farm successfully. The less savvy get weeded out. You have to have some kind of twisted obsession to farm. I grew up on a farm, joined the military to get the hell off it and actually get paid for working my ass off. I see people make a big deal about subsidies.. that amount to the amount close to buying a used pickup. So $10k or even $20k is a drop in the bucket when your fuel cost is more than that, your tractors sell for 10x that, and combines are even more than that, $350k for a used one. Then you have all the other stuff needed to farm. The numbers for someone who only has 1500 acres would make the average cubicle dwelling gopher gasp. Resources being taken away from wighte people? If minorities want to get into farming, by all means, knock yourself out. You can enjoy never having a day off, working outside in the weather, always being stressed about the markets because you don't get to set the price for what you produce, you are told what they will give you for it. Imagine if you built cars or computers and had someone telling you what you could get paid for it... or some chick giving blowies on the street corner, she doesn't set the price, the guy who is getting the no teeth edging performance tells her what she gets for doing it. So many stupid people out there who have no damn clue and yet the spout off like they are an authority on the subject.

  115. The kids are assholes, I do not blame the dogs for being dogs. The dogs are not the problem. Dogs have a nature, its in every one of them, not just certain breeds and if they are threatened or their pack members are, they will fight. If they think of other animals as food, they will try to kill and eat them. Its all in how you socialize dogs with other pets. I am allergic to cats, but I have two cats that live outside and keep the rodent population in check. I live in a forest so there is plenty for them to catch and eat. I feed them on top of the rodents they catch. I have two Siberian Huskies that get to live inside. The younger husky is a rescue because she used to escape and catch cats in the small town where I found her. I make sure the cats and dogs don't mix, because those huskies can run down almost any animal. The cats learned to stay out of the fenced in yard when the dogs chased them up trees one time they were back there. The huskies have a 3 acre fenced in yard, 8' high fence with logs around the bottom so they can't crawl under. The cats have the rest of the forest. If the huskies escape, I have to wait until a neighbor calls me and says they are have them. They go hunting and there is no stopping them. If you know huskies, you know recall is not their strong suit. They do what they want, and merely decide that what you are suggesting might be fun for now.... or not. My daughter has pitt boxers, sweetest dogs ever... until someone in the group of dogs has a disagreement, then the pitts go for ears and legs. Her dogs get along with cats, but the cats stay away from dogs.
