American Politics from 2019 on

[pErvinalia]

I ran my US falling apart blog elsewhere and got this response:

Temporal proximity to events distorts their perceived future historical importance. People forget great depression, WWII, Civil War, post-revolutionary times, the Cold War, etc. Those were vastly more significant. What we are seeing now is the predicted reaction to globalization and a realignment of political coalitions.

Will it be disruptive? Yes. Will it end in the de-facto fragmentation of the USA? No. The power of the common market is just too valuable. The only one who benefits from a real weakening are the USA’s strategic competitors.

Sounds like a person trying to be serious. Dr Perv diagnoses self esteem issues.

'future' is redundant there.

Daniel Brooks: Well, the primary thing that we have to understand or internalize is that what we’re dealing with is what is called a no-technological-solution problem. In other words, technology is not going to save us, real or imaginary. We have to change our behavior. If we change our behavior, we have sufficient technology to save ourselves. If we don’t change our behavior, we are unlikely to come up with a magical technological fix to compensate for our bad behavior. This is why Sal and I have adopted a position that we should not be talking about sustainability, but about survival, in terms of humanity’s future. Sustainability has come to mean, what kind of technological fixes can we come up with that will allow us to continue to do business as usual without paying a penalty for it? As evolutionary biologists, we understand that all actions carry biological consequences.

Trumps win will keep me amused for quite sometime, but I'm sure I'll slip up eventually.

- A state senator in Mississippi has filed a bill entitled the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act.”

As written by Sen. Bradford Blackmon, the bill would make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”

There are also fines involved, the third strike resulting in the loss of $10,000 from the perpetrator.

'Central Valley farmworkers scared to show up to work over deportation fear'

The impact of President-elect Donald Trump's promise of mass deportation is already starting to show.

The California Farm Bureau says fears in the Central Valley have led to migrant farmworkers not showing up for work, which has virtually halted the area's citrus harvest. Agriculture leaders in the Bay Area are worried about something similar happening locally and what it could mean for citrus prices.

It’s the peak of citrus harvest season in Kern County right now, but the industry is taking a hit after immigration agents conducted several operations last week, targeting undocumented immigrants with criminal records.

The state farm bureau reports that action made some agriculture workers too afraid to show up for work.

"We are certainly very concerned about what is happening and how that is unfolding," Monterey County Farm Bureau Executive Director Norm Groot said.

The Monterey County Farm Bureau said it is keeping a close eye on the developments in the Central Valley. Harvest season in the Salinas Valley begins in late April.

The farm bureau said just the threat of deportation could be enough to deter many of the 55,000 migrant workers the valley needs to operate during harvest season.

"They’re not going to show up for work and that means crops will remain in the field and not be harvested and probably lost at that point," Groot said.

The farm bureau said that could lead to higher food prices.
