Burgum’s friend, the Republican governor of Montana, Greg Gianforte, celebrated the decision, promising to “stand with our farmers and ranchers against federal overreach”. He said: “We must ensure that public lands remain accessible and productive, rather than being locked away for the vision of special interests.”

What exactly does this bullshit mean? Are farmers going to be farming on federal land now?

    It's crazy how much people allow farmers to scam them.

    Removing about 50,000 tons of peaches from production could reduce oversupply and save farmers an estimated $30 million in additional losses

    Translation: We need to keep prices artificially high because the stupid American public is going to pay it anyways. We need to fuck them over as hard as possible because they have no self respect and get mad at anyone who does.

    We have the resources, they're just going towards the people that are: responsible for making everything expensive, not giving workers a fair return on their labor, and also don't pay their fair share in taxes.

    Wow! This actually makes a lot of sense to me and it's something I've been concerned about myself for awhile.

    Not with these Thermos bottles specifically, but putting soda in a water bottle and opening the cap has resulted in several explosions for me. I've started being very careful with it, as even the thin plastic bottle cap seems like it could do a lot of damage to eyes with how it explodes off. I can only imagine what one of these bigger caps are like.

    Hopefully the people who have been injured from this get enough compensation so they never have to work again. I'm sure there are some people making millions of dollars per year off of the Thermos brand that can stand to make a little bit 🤏 less.

    What I do wonder is why people who don’t like it need to remind everyone they don’t on any Gnome thread.

    Because if people aren't vocal about their opinions then they get drowned out by those who are.

    If all everyone saw was "gnome is good" but never "gnome is bad," then we can expect other DEs to start copying the bad ideas gnome has because they never see criticism of it.

    But let's be real. You already had an inkling of why this is and you're feigning ignorance because you don't want people criticizing things you like.
