Even if the shoe doesn’t drop – they’ll be running out of them when they see the wave coming.

Agriculture is more than just a “cash cow” – it’s a regulatory carousel that goes around and around to the tune of money and votes. If you want to predict what the future holds for a reduction of Agricultural Pollution; just look at the past 50 years: gathering data, updating “Best management practices” [BMPs], voluntary programs, and incentives that have resulted in increased in levels of pollution – and a flood of tax money into farming pockets – over and over. Even as we enter the drain that we’ve been circling; Agriculture isn’t changing — if the climate disaster they’re helping bring about harms their profits – tax dollars will be found to fill the gap.
Rural policy making isn’t just about indifference – authorities use deception, misrepresentation, and misconduct to actively target rural communities for urban sprawl problems.
When Lansingville Road residents complained of high-speed, reckless through-cutting traffic and no law enforcement; the County produced a 48-hour traffic summary that showed a decrease in the 85th percentile speed.
When research uncovered that it was conducted in the fog – they had no comment. And provided no law enforcement.
Just tossing out a few bumper stickers – but with such a big [and smug] target; it’s easy to hit the mark.
You can work all your life; but you’ll never be free; in the Single-Mom Society: where all white males are always wrong – and only Women can be strong.
The evil is back – and once again parading as “good.” Not only are people definitively [and legally] categorized on the basis of their race, gender and ethnicity – the compartments are “waterproof.” Even though the “First Nations” perpetrated all the same outrageous actions of people all over the world; throughout history – the compartmentalized concept is propagandized with a 19th century “noble savage” myopic romanticism – and a full helping of 21st century entitlement.
Unsurprisingly; hierarchical terms like “first” and “important” are smugly emblazoned on a viewpoint with as much the arrogance and bigotry as any the world has seen – and lubricated with the same hate and sense of privilege that has led to the death of millions.
Like a product development deconstruction on the eve of destruction – you can’t teach sense to a fool: but you can sell him almost anything. That’s why sellers have become shamelessly self-promoting: of themselves. Buy the image and feel good about yourself. Swallow the hype and buy the tripe.
As the old world passes – there’s a new world of opportunity for those who can ride the collapsing wave. Business and education can always profit from new policies: especially government mandated ones – so pull yourself up by your bootstraps, have a generous helping of free lunch, and ensure greater profits from the Greater Good.
“A finger on the scale – will prevail.” Living in an Ivy League ruled county – whose authorities and planners despise rural people and covet their land: takes away the legitimacy of any “outrageous” and “preposterous” comments on this more-scary-than-satirical piece of blatant oppression. The collegiate elite are molding the future of Tompkins County – and the rural population is just excess material.
It’s not wildly satirical – it’s not even moderately satirical – it’s a projection of today onto the near future. I don’t make any distant future satires; because our future ends before then. “Earth’s poor will be replaced – by billionaires in space.”
The days of freedom are over. The piñata of public participation has only showered us with comment forms and bureaucratic feces. The thrill of eluding oppression has turned into a fear of the open sky: with no safe place to rest.
Everything is gray – without difference or distance – “The party’s over.”
