    AOC: Growing cauliflower is 'colonial approach' to vegetables

    Now this is interesting. AOC who is pushing the Green New Deal nationally, i.e., the federal government dictating "colonially," here invokes localism, in a truly grass-roots approach. She's conflicted.

    Would it upset her if I let her know the Spanish and Portuguese introduced plantains to the Americas? I mean it really doesn't get more colonial than that...
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Compost is hard to do? You put your material in a bin and nature does the rest. What is so hard about that.
