Idaho Water Shutoff Affects More than Just Farmers

From https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/1804124590727430232:

I Hope This Makes The Idaho Water Shutoff To Farmers Real For People

🚨 Idaho is fining Farmers $300 PER ACRE for using water

Farmers are already declaring bankruptcy

Here are 2 farmers from eastern Idaho who have just received their water shutoff orders

“We just got our curtailment letter from the Idaho Department of Water Resources and they're telling us we have to shut our eight wells off.”

“Shut our water off?”

— “They want us to shut our water off. — They want us to turn our wells off.”

“The reservoirs are full, yet we're being told we cannot water 500,000 acres of crops”

“Thing. If you decide that you're just gonna keep watering, they're going to fine you $300 per acre. Well, if you're just growing a crop like hay, it doesn't make $300 an acre. You're just gonna lose money on that.”

“you look on the curtailment paper it's not just farmers it's commercial businesses.”

They give lots of details about the water shutoff order (see video)

They talk about more locations being effected and what the result of that will be:

— “They want to shut off just in Bingham County. So Bingham County grows more potatoes than any other county in the state and just in Bingham County there's $1.3 ish billion dollars spent in the county. And if that water was curtailed, it would reduce the amount of money spent in the county by three to $400 million.

So you wouldn't just be putting out, you wouldn't just be putting farmers out of business, you'd be putting people who deliver gas out of business, people who sell groceries, you'd be putting all the equipment people out of business, the repair, the repair men, the service men.

We just had people coming out, working on our pivots and stuff. You'd be putting all those guys out of business, which would hurt everyone”

“Trucking companies would go out of business. Yep. You have a lot of guys who have storages for potatoes. All those guys, they would no longer be getting rent for their potatoes. It would just devastate the entire Idaho economy.”

“There's already guys, there's already local farmers who've shut their wells off and their fields have already dried up because of this curtailment order and they're going to be out millions of dollars they're going to end up declaring bankruptcy and if the farmers declare bankruptcy the banks that finance the farmers are going to declare bankruptcy and then the whole economy is just shot. It's literally going to destroy the Idaho economy.”

“We gotta get this thing spreading like wildfire to make sure everybody knows about this. Because like it or not, it's gonna affect everybody.”

There is so much information in this video and I highly recommend taking the time to watch it.

During a vote next to the ballot box was Flavien Termet, a 20-year-old deputy from Le Pen's party.

When the left voted, they denied him a greeting and taunted him.

Those who talk about tolerance...

"There are a lot of signs that the Ukrainian troops are on the verge of collapse. Still, their soldiers are hanging on, fighting through.

Trump's recent actions, however, will more than likely break their will to keep fighting (and dying). When that happens, the whole front will collapse."

This is starting to feel like the collapse of Germany at the end of WW I, even right down to the internal propaganda of “actually, we’re winning the war”.

Be prepared for a “stab-in-the-back” narrative and Ukraine War 2.0.

Case Against Bill Gates in the Netherlands allowed to move forward
The court that will hear the case has ruled it has jurisdiction over Gates to hear the case

According to this Tweet, RFK Jr. has announced that BIll Gates has “been indicted in the Netherlands for lying to the public about the Covid vaccine.”

Blindspot has 2 sources for this story, one of which embeds a Tweet that has an image of a document which does not contain Gate's name in said image.

According to this link, there was a lawsuit against Gates that Gates had filed an objection to claiming htat he was not subject to the jurisdiction of the court where the suit has been brought. But the court has ruled that yes, in fact, they do have jurisdiction.

Will update the story as it develops.

On Voting

At 0630 this morning, the weather was in the high 60's, but the humidity made it feel warmer. The was a steady breeze and ths sun was out. If I didn't know any better, I'd think we were going to have a tornado.

I got to my polling place before 0800. The line was long but was moving at a fairly rapid pace. I was in line for less than half an hour and that was with the line all the way from deep inside the building, out to the back of a wide parking lot and then a right angle along the side of the much, much longer side of the parking lot.

The closer I got to the building, the more ominous the weather started looking. Thankfully, I made it inside and back out to my car before it started raining.

Based on what i witnessed locally, I think the turn out this election is going to be massive.

Giving a Paper

Problem Statement

I randomly picked out a topic to cover and present for one of my courses and, because the programs are rather mish-mash, I'm with the last year students (I'm a second year), I'm way out of my depth with the level of the topic. Being able to present a dense 40pg chapter is not my ballpark to be exact... the paper is also not in my native language and the presentation should be 10 minutes... I don't think there's an option to 'change' the topic, but tomorrow when I have lectures I'll ask my prof about approaching the topic. I still thought maybe some of you have advice on how to tackle dense papers/situations like this without getting completely strewn up in it.

My Solution

Give the talk in your native langauge. If the professor tries to fail you for your performance, call him a racist and threaten to sue the school if he does'nt give you an "A".
