Government Overreach, Local Action, and Real Food Defense | Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms
Joel Salatin is back to share why he’s taking a bold stand against federal overreach—and what really happens when the government comes knocking. From eye-opening bird flu extermination tactics to a surprising call from RFK Jr., Joel breaks down the growing pressure on small farms, who’s profiting, and the natural solutions being ignored. He also challenges the myth of total self-sufficiency and makes a compelling case for building strong, local community ties. Whether you’re in the thick of farming or just passionate about food freedom, this conversation will inspire you to think differently—and take action right where you are!
Illinois Lawmakers Are Attempting to Rush Through a Harmful Tax on Unrealized Gains in 48 Hours
No tax system anywhere in the world has a mark-to-market capital gains tax that captures unrealized gains. Some Illinois lawmakers would like to change that—and they plan to ram the proposal through in less than 48 hours.
Under a proposal called the Extremely High Wealth Mark-to-Market Tax Act, Illinois would impose a 4.95 percent tax on the unrealized gains of all assets, tangible and intangible, of billionaires. That includes their stocks and bonds, but also everything else they own, including their ownership and investment stakes in businesses. Essentially, they would have to pay taxes on the value these assets have on paper, even though that value has not been taken as income.
The first tunnel under the Thames was the Thames Tunnel, designed by Marc Brunel and his son Isambard. Construction began in 1825, and it was completed in 1843, connecting Rotherhithe and Wapping. Initially opened as a pedestrian walkway and a popular tourist attraction, it was later converted for railway use and now forms part of the London Overground.
Construction and completion: Construction on the Thames Tunnel began in 1825 and was completed in 1843.
the track that Turner painted was completed in the South of England. Railways spread as rapidly in the UK in the first half of the nineteenth century as they did in the US in the second half.
I’m sure many migrants take the Europeans for saps … probably the same in the US. Many people won’t work unless forced to. Some would rather starve to death!
Wow, that’s a powerful painting! The use of light, the only crystal clear image being of the stack as it burns its way through the misty rain, the raw power of the epitome of technology … anyone would think it could be a Turner.
I like Turner. And Brunel.
p.s. the viaduct is still the main line of the Western railway, widened now to four tracks. Nobody believed it could be safe because the arches are so flat. It remains the flattest arch bridge ever built, 188 years old.
