When I was recently in Ohio we took a drive out to see the Amish. We saw a group of them about 200 at a hall one afternoon and they were all on e bikes which where parked up like Harley Davidsons at a pub. Another lot we saw watching some trots, the grandstand was scattered with a few of the youths and they were on cell phones, I saw a lot of acne/nanotech on them and one of the girls was sneaking hits on a vape pen. It was interesting to witness. Ive had seeds sent from the US and they were still viable and able to be grown when they arrived. Cheers Ray. If I lived close i'd give you a hand with those lawns.

Ray, I apologize for not being able to read each of your articles when they are released. In the one you put out earlier this morning with info about typos, I used the link and read that article you put out Aug 2. In it you cited Agent's Substack. I can't read much of his, or comment at all, because it is paywalled. And I am skeptical about his motives, and who he works for. Nevertheless, I take in what info I can.

As for typos - I am free to use for proofreading, just let me know when you have an article ready to check. I did just now notice one under the Walmart photo about well-fed children, and how they can be "grooved" to become...... I'm sure you meant groomed, yes?

As for food stamps and WIC programs, there are pros and cons. I am forced to survive on less than half what the government gives an illegal invader. I get social security and SSI, and it is still less than 1K a month total. I am currently trying to figure out how to pay my property tax bill that is due soon.

I qualify for "food stamps", SNAP, and I do get a small amount for food each month.

I spend it on food that is the most likely to be beneficial and nutritious. Of course, I must buy some canned goods, and I buy flour, beans, pasta and other staples, and I try to buy better types of bread, like what Aldi's carries. Since I can only make one long drive each month to where I must shop, I can only buy a certain amount of fresh produce. I hate to have to throw out anything that goes bad before I can consume it, but it does happen once in awhile.

Here in Illinois, food stamps can be used at the Farmers Markets, but I can never get to one when it is open. Luckily, the man who mows my yard also has a large garden, and I was able to buy homegrown tomatoes and cabbage from him, but for cash only.

One blessing - earlier this year I was able to purchase a home water distilling unit, not expensive. Now I do not have to use my food stamps for gallon jugs of distilled water each month, and it eliminates all the transportation and heavy lugging of them which I used to have to do. The unit payed for itself in less than two months.
