Red states produce the bulk of our meat, true—though California still produces 8% of American beef.
But the red states’ role as America’s breadbasket is LONG gone. Most red state agro-economy has been redirected from human-grade food to commodity feedstock.
And much of that is on federal welfare.

It goes even deeper than this. The vast bulk of red state agriculture is corn, soybeans or seed crops.
And most of it is not for US human consumption! We export 20% of our corn, half of our soybean and seeds. The rest?
Most of it becomes oil, animal feed or….ETHANOL.

Half the fruits and vegetables in the US come from California, 75% of the nuts. The flyover states like to pretend they do much

Especially since a huge percentage of American crops are bought and paid for by the government.
Guess where the huge majority of the taxes that go toward buying those crops come from?
That’s right: Blue states.

Also this guy suggesting that food is “shared” with other states (or countries) out of goodwill, as opposed to for pay:
Good luck eating your way through an exploding silo of soybeans.

California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?

I counter the claim that "AI steals just the way human artists steal." We do not. Artists engage relationally with sources rather than severing them for computational processing. Computers are not people. Comparing generative tools to artists is a dehumanizing act.

As so many of this country's politicians take away people's healthcare, this 🧵 came to mind.
Does anyone have recommendations of good books or articles on how racism impeded the formation of a universal healthcare system in the US?
Quadagno only mentions it in passing, but I'd like something with deeper analysis.
Thanks!
