Hey everyone, most of you will probably scroll past this, but I want to make something clear. Argentine beef is fine and has been for decades. This is nothing more than a desperate move by Trump and his DOA appointee to prop up the US beef industry, the same one that’s been voting red since 2016.

The beef industry in the US has lobbied for decades against importing from the competition, Brazil and Argentina.
It overwhelmingly voted for the regime thrice.
Now a desperate regime is trying to get Argentine beef imports to qualm inflation and help its buddies who got into bad investments.

Yes, you pay for undocumented immigrants’ health care, just not the way Faux News wants you to think. Without access to Medicaid or ACA coverage, hospitals still have to treat them. The real freeloaders aren’t the folks the GOP blames. It’s the insurance giants increasing and cashing your premiums.

Taking a break from my usual posts to share some happier thoughts. Just planted 18 new native perennials and shrubs with my (almost) 3 year old who loves making the Earth beautiful with his dad.
This included 3 that are a threatened species in PA. Here's to hoping that they all thrive!

You might look at the major U.S. indexes and think the markets are performing well. However, a quick glance at the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index tells a different story. It has nearly doubled the year-to-date performance of the Dow Jones and S&P 500. So, are we winning yet?
Today it's at 28.8%.
