What we know today as ‘feminism’ can also be read as a campaign for women to enter the market, under industrial modernity, on the same terms as men. Me at @AmericanAffrs on why this approach to women’s interests, though once justified, is now failing us https://t.co/P7tsa9rqvI

An Example of Why American Compass Should Be Irrelevant for American "Conservatism"

No discussion of a policy that would acknowledge the reality of collapse and seek to replace industry dependent upon cheap fossil fuel energy with an economy using appropriate technology, in accordance with the human scale, and oriented to the good of the local pol. community.

"It would be a tragic mistake to use opening of the 'Overton window' to craft an industrial policy focused on goals other than restoring U.S. global economic, technological and manufacturing leadership," writes @RobAtkinsonITIF https://t.co/Y6Bptl4ehc

Every day, 2 Wisconsin dairy farms go out of business.

Why?

“We have a cheap food policy. It’s set up to subsidize overproduction of commodities. If farmers get an incentive to overproduce, the value of what they produce goes down."https://t.co/YJq3MBcpcf pic.twitter.com/w3XWXG7656

The solution:

This is how all farming should be. ➡️ “We’re putting back more than we’re taking—more insects, more water, more wildlife. It’s agriculture that adds to the environment instead of taking away.” #RegenerativeAgriculture https://t.co/GNgrUqGd6Q
