Join Us Today as We Discuss. The problems with trying to feed a community or family with just a garden What silvopasture is and why … Continue reading →

The world is in desperate need of a true “green revolution” but it won’t and can’t come from government.  We won’t get it done by mandating anything or taxing the air you exhale.  All of these state level actions consist of pipe dreams and lies.  Worse though is they are an absolute excuse by those who claim to care the most for individual inaction.  Just another version of “tax the rich”.  Today we look at what a true “green society” might look like if everyone did just a little bit to see to their own needs in their own back … Continue reading →

I have been huge on the technology of NFTs since I first learned about them.  On the other hand I have also been on record saying most of what is being done with them is beyond stupid.  People buying the rights to a jpeg and other such nonsense often for 10s or even 100s of thousands of dollars. Recently I happened on this announcement from Algorand and LiquidVineyards.  Now this is the type of thing I have been talking about. The basic concept is perhaps you want to invest in XYZ vineyard and buy the rights to say 3 vines … Continue reading →
