“It’s a terrible thing to contemplate how few politicians are hanged” GK Chesterton. A great quote by a great man at a great time as the Epstein files are made public

My bitcoin prediction: after the year 2028 is over, bitcoin will never again be under 6 figures priced in fiat.

Absolutely beautiful week of sunshine we are getting. Blessed #hellebores #farmstr #flowers

So many months of anticipation and within a week it will look like a tornado took out all of these flowers. It would be nice to just let them bloom and enjoy the color, but business is business. We’re just happy to have flowers again #tulips #flowers #farmstr

And here’s what’s blooming on the farm. Some cool double flowering hellebore #flowers #farmstr #hellebores

These are some stairs we’re building at my construction job. Fairly complex with lots of angles, framing and stair building is no joke. Lots of respect for the carpenters of the world

The first poppy from the garden! #poppies #flowers #farmstr

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and we have our red hellebores opening up at the right time. It’s never a bad idea to give your loved ones some flowers, where words fail, flowers don’t. And it feels good to support local farms #flowers #farmstr #hellebores

all of the left wing accounts I follow on Instagram are in unison posting about abolishing ICE and how the government is lying to us. Seems a bit too suspicious to me to feel organic. We are being manipulated by this system to pick sides but the true path is leaving the corrupt system like Jeff Booth prescribes. I do wonder though. Where were they during the lies of covid and government tyranny? Absolutely silent and in lockstep with their government masters, unquestioning the authority they agreed with, yet now opposing authority they disagree with. It’s hard to have sympathy for people who would have ratted on you for having a party during lockdowns. My two cents on today’s current events

Seems like there’s a lot of doomerism and outrage on the internet right now, but here’s some pretty green hellebores instead of that. The future looks bright, be good to each other, that’s all that matters #hellebores #flowers #farmstr

Watching All Quiet on the Western Front. My main takeaway so far is war is obviously hell, and the German side I grew up thinking was evil was actually filled with normal people with sons and daughters and family they loved, but who were sadly conscripted by a despotic and evil government to kill other humans not unlike themselves. And their side happened to lose and not write the history books

More tulips going out to our first farmers markets of the year this weekend. Happy Saturday Nostr fam #tulips #flowers #farmstr #agriculture

GM Nostr, beautiful day to pick some tulips. Variety Novi Sun

GN Nostr people. Our barn cat loves lurking around, we raised him as a kitten abandoned on our farm. Here he is stalking me taking photos of our Icelandic poppies #flowers #farmstr #catstr

Realized I already posted those so here’s more + a dog

The only sad part of New Years is taking down the Christmas tree. It’s like the joy of the holidays abruptly end

The dahlia season is coming to close, but the last few harvests are always so vibrant. The cooler weather really brings out the color in our dahlias unlike during the heat of summer. Next to spring, it’s probably my favorite time of the year #flowers #nostr #dahlias

As a farmer, it’s deeply troubling that so many fellow members of the agriculture community think the USDA and Farm Bill are important and necessary to support American agriculture. The opposite is true, government misallocation of resources robs successful farmers in favor of less efficient ones. Paying to not farm arable land artificially raises our food prices. If farmers can’t turn a profit without the government stealing other people’s money and giving it to them, then those farmers shouldn’t be in business. If wealthy landowners are being corporate welfare pigs and collecting checks to keep perfectly good land out of use, they should have all government funds cut off. The incentive system of the Farm Bill is opposite of what benefit both farmers and the public. Farmers became debt slaves, inefficient and commercialized. They commit suicide at high rates, probably a consequence of the immense fiat debt piles they are forced to take on. The public gets more expensive, lower quality food due to supply restriction. Just a few thoughts, TBC #agriculture #farming
