10 Numbers That Show How Much Farmland We’re Losing to Development

Dan Nosowitz  -  modern farmer
In a society that took a long view and was planning for its future, what is
described in this report would not be happening. The fact that it is tells
us something important about the failure of America to make wellbeing a
priority.

1992 and 2012.*

American Farmland Trust, which since 1980 has been attempting to save
agricultural land in the U.S., has compiled a huge assessment
<https://schwartzreport.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b50db294056098aa2e77fd21c&id=ab8382d27c&e=faefe20166>
of
the movement of farmland between 1992 and 2012 (the latter date being the
last that the data required was available).

The organization’s findings, which they are calling “the most comprehensive
ever undertaken of America’s agricultural lands,” aren’t hugely shocking,
at least at the surface: American farmland is being vacuumed up by
development. What’s new, though, is the discovery that the development
isn’t coming only from urban areas expanding outwards—rural areas are also
losing farmland rapidly. “The fact is that we have this sort of insidious
development that no one’s been paying attention to, and we really need to
start paying attention,” says Julia Freedgood, the assistant VP of programs
at the AFT.

Why is this happening? There’s no simple answer. One major reason, which
has spiraling effects, is that farming is an incredibly difficult and not a
very lucrative career path. The average age of the American farmer was nearly
60 in 2012

The U.S. Government Has Spent More Than 4 Times the Cost of Mueller’s
Investigation to Let Trump Play Golf

Mark Sumner  -  Alternet
One of the hallmarks of this administration is the extraordinary abandon
with which Trump and his cabinet officers live in luxury on the taxpayers'
-- that's you and me -- dime. Do you remember all the speeches during the
campaign when Trump pillared Obama because he played golf, swearing that if
elected he would stay and work in the White House. Of course it was a lie.
Here's the evidence. It also shows the complete hypocrisy of the Republican
congress.

Trump golfing at one of his courses

The Justice Department has released a reporting showing the cost of Special
Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into foreign entanglements of the
Trump campaign. Through just over a year, the total comes in at $16.7
million.

Naturally, this resulted in a morning tweet
<https://schwartzreport.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b50db294056098aa2e77fd21c&id=5800181eaa&e=faefe20166>from
Donald Trump. Trump had previously pegged the cost of the investigation at
$20 million, an exaggeration modest enough that he likely had someone at
the DOJ check the books for him. And while Trump may be wishing he had that
cash so he could grab some Florida real estate
<https://schwartzreport.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b50db294056098aa2e77fd21c&id=c3b6cc53dc&e=faefe20166>
for
a Russian oligarch, the cost of the ongoing investigation does seem
… perfectly reasonable.

Compared to the estimated $67 million
<https://schwartzreport.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b50db294056098aa2e77fd21c&id=980b1f69cc&e=faefe20166>
the
government has providing Trump with trips to Mar-a-lago to play golf,
Mueller’s investigation. Or the $3.5 million that the EPA spent
<https://schwartzreport.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b50db294056098aa2e77fd21c&id=66f0c708e4&e=faefe20166>
on
a single year of Scott Pruitt’s personal SWAT team.

It would probably be possible to pay for the Mueller investigation either
out of first class flights by Pruitt, or Ben Carson’s decorating budget. In
just the first nine months of 2017, Donald Trump personally charged the
Secret Service $137,000 to rent golf carts

Drug company sales rep admits bribing N.J. doctors to prescribe addictive

S.P. Sullivan  -  New Jersey Time-News
The opioid crisis that plagues America is an entirely legal dope operation
created out of creed. I described this process in detail in America's
Deadly Opioid Epidemic From Which Everyone But the User Profits

It is a horrifying story. What doesn't get enough consideration in all this
is the corruption of a several generations of people, from doctors to
distributors to drug reps to drug store owners. Here is an example of what
I mean. This doesn't happen without deep cultural wounds occurring

Michelle Breitenbach, 38, of Middletown.

A former sales representative for a major drug manufacturer has admitted to
charges she helped fuel the opioid addiction crisis by bribing
doctors to prescribe a potent painkiller, authorities said.

Michelle Breitenbach, who worked for the pharmaceutical company Insys
Therapeutics, Inc., pleaded guilty Wednesday to a second-degree charge of
conspiracy to commit commercial bribery, according to the state Division of
Criminal Justice, which brought the

Breitenbach’s guilty plea comes after state authorities filed a civil
lawsuit against her former employer, accusing Insys of “evil” practices

that
pushed doctors to prescribe its painkiller Subsys for conditions it was
never intended to treat. The civil case is ongoing.

Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said Wednesday that a “primary cause of the
devastating opioid epidemic gripping the country has been overprescribing
of prescription opioids, driven by the greed of manufacturers.”

State authorities say the company gave kickbacks to doctors in the form of
phony “speaker’s fees” that really served as payments for “off-label”
prescriptions that gave patients the painkillers for purposes not approved
by the federal Food and Drug Administration.

Previous Models of Ancient Populations in the Americas were
‘Unrealistically Simple’

  -  Ancient Origins
And yet again, what we thought we knew about humanity's past in the
Americas has been shown to be either wrong or inadequate because a new
chapter has opened. Very exciting stuff.

A new genetic study of ancient individuals in the Americas and their
contemporary descendants finds that two populations that diverged from one
another 18,000 to 15,000 years ago remained apart for millennia before
mixing again. This historic “re-convergence” occurred before or during
their expansion to the southern continent.

The study, reported in the journal *Science*, challenges previous research
suggesting that the first people in the Americas split into northern and
southern branches, and that the southern branch alone gave rise to all
ancient populations in Central and South America.

The study shows for the first time that, deep in their genetic history,
many Indigenous people in the southern continent retain at least some DNA
from the “northerners” who are the direct ancestors of many Native
communities living …

*How Do I Respond? What Can I Do?*

Dozens of people have written me asking: How do I respond to what I see
happening to my country after this election? What can I do?

My answer can be found in my book *The 8 Laws of Change.
<https://schwartzreport.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b50db294056098aa2e77fd21c&id=decac0b798&e=faefe20166>*
Since
1991 I have been following trends that are shaping the future, and have
seen the rise of fascist and identitarian politics. I wrote 8 Laws based on
years of research to show how nonviolent compassionate life-affirming
change can be achieved.

If you are despondent about what you see happening to your country I
recommend you read *The 8 Laws of Change.
