You pay for it with the money that is saved. It costs society less to house the unhoused than to not.

I give you...Hangel

It would cost less in taxes to house people than to have them on the streets. But people don't actually care about that, they just don't think unhoused people 'deserve' to be housed.

40 mins is insane 😩 so good!

That's one way to get around a definition I suppose.

You literally said GMOs and selective breeding are the same. Have you changed your mind? I'm confused about what your argument is.

I can picture your art on Magic cards for sure!

organisms whose genomes have been precisely altered at the molecular level, usually by the inclusion of genes from unrelated species of organisms that code for traits that would not be obtained easily through conventional selective breeding."

In conventional livestock production, crop farming, and even pet breeding, it has long been the practice to breed select individuals of a species in order to produce offspring that have desirable traits. In genetic modification, however, recombinant genetic technologies are employed to produce

here is a dictionary definition: "genetically modified organism (GMO), organism whose genome has been engineered in the laboratory in order to favour the expression of desired physiological traits or the generation of desired biological products." contin..

I am literally a farmer. and I'm telling you, GMO is not the same as selective breeding.

I thought we left the anti-science people back on Twitter...I guess not 😭

👍

Yes, one allows businesses to decrease food sovereignty and doesn't take into account the climate or cultural practices...is being "more precise" worth that?

Yeah, people are just throwing around words without knowing what they mean. 'Domestication' and GMO are not the same at all 🤦‍♀️

Yeah it's totally not the same. I'm not sure why there are people here trying to dispute that...

Not true though? Words have meanings...

Can you update this? GMOs and domesticating crops are not the same thing, at all.

And many places have local seed banks/breeding programs that farmers participate in to create hybrid and open pollinated crops that are more successful in their specific ecosystem/soil/climate. Like BC eco-seed co-op for example
