magnetosphere@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?1·12 hours agoIn my lifetime, I’ve met ONE very religious Christian who wasn’t a hypocrite. ONE. He was a very nice guy, though, and I hope he and his family are doing well.

magnetosphere@fedia.iotoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•What monopoly lobbyist group would oppose that?81·16 hours agoLarge companies that have spent millions on the equipment and expertise to “process” trees, plus lobbying and bribes, could oppose it. Buying all new equipment for hemp and learning all over again would cost them millions more.

magnetosphere@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?51·17 hours agoYou know what will make you feel better?
