My 1/2 assed bike blog blather is perh...@anon 12:33<br />My 1/2 assed bike blog blather is perhaps unclear, and apologies getting yr handlebar wrap in a twist.<br /><br />Sadly, I was educated already, but thank you; though any more education is always welcome and looked at. (and educated through experience, not schooling)<br /><br />Yes, subsidized...subsidized water, transportation, stolen labor = subsidies. Sure there are lots of operations, esp in NoCal, no? that don't fall under the SoCal water & labor shadow, but for the most part - yes, subsidized. Especially "conventionally grown", ie chem grown, which admittedly I didn't mention, but is the bulk of what the US is eating. Since i seem to be referencing the NYT, surprising even myself, there was a reasonable article recently about farming in California / water / labor / agribiz...worth reading.<br /><br />The myth of poor climate, is a myth; a lot of the US can grow far more. Up until the end of WW2, most of the produce came from east of the Mississippi; and it wasn't until the conversion of armament corporations / divisions into "fertilizer" companies, that the conditions in California and Florida were exploitable. CF Elliott Coleman - guy grows all year round in Maine; many places in the northeast are picking up this fairly old technology and reusing (also Ms Babble - hydroponics - a solution in search of a problem; far more simple methods yield easier and greater production). It's all possible; and not just on a solo personal scale, there could be easy access to produce year round in most eastern and northern cities<br /><br />I'm not against subsidies; but they should be applied evenly, eg helping bootstrap modern farms in decentralized locations, instead of fighting against them at the behest of agribiz. And the same thing goes for restarting factories / economies / production in the US. Look at the real economics of it, rather than the monopolistic / duopoloistic concerns of corporations who have lobbied their way to a protected class. There is so much money within the US / so much assets and possibilities, yet the access, the formerly possible path of rising up the social and economic ladder, has been trampled by the Wall St / lobbyist culture, that turning the monster is harder and harder.<br /><br />And touchy about 3 bikes? Only 3? I can't see to the back of my bike room for the tangle. Why so touchy, anon?<br /><br />Also I commenced with rising up a long time ago, and it seems to be working more slowly than I thought.

Most of your rant is not only correct, ...@rural14,<br /><br />Most of your rant is not only correct, but very cogent. Let me educate you on one point. California produce in the context you have provided is not Subsidized. Subsidies are almost exclusive to Agronomic crops (wheat, corn, soy, cotton), ie: high acreage / low value. Why should you have to compete with us? Because you probably garden in a shitty zone. We are simply growers working expensive low acreage / high value crops, without subsidies. I support locally grown, but if that was the only option, most of this country would not have the opportunity to consume vegetables grown in the soil because of the inhospitable climate during the winter. I guess growing organic produce in CA and having 3 bikes (Mtn, road, and CX) makes me an Artisinal ass hole. In any case, now you're more educated, you may commence with rising up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-64755359326836977182013-02-18T21:47:29.651-05:002013-02-18T21:47:29.651-05:00And no love for Poo-kip-C?
