    Good. Fuck em. I’ll sit back and enjoy while the rest of the world proceeds to set up a trade network that bypasses the U.S. entirely, fostering far more cooperation and goodwill than America’s Hegemonic diplomacy ever has. America can get fucked for all I care.

    Soy farming is destructive to natural ecosystems. A shame for the farmers in the US, but the nature will be glad and that is more valuable. It does depend on the replacement crop.

    I am worried about Brazilian’s nature with the increasing soy farming. Soy needs terrain that competes with beautiful native plants, and with increasing production, more land will be lost, and more water consumed.

    The good news is that soy farming makes more sense in Brazil. Higher rainfall means less diverted water. It is actually more ecologically cost effective. Hopefully there will not be much more forest displacement.

      Soy farming restores nitrogen on soil. The alternative of using chemical processes to restore that nitrogen is stopping farming corn, and that’s not happening.

      Soyf farming and cattle ranching have been destroying the amazon for decades. It is severely diminished from that. But it is such a huge forest that it seems infinite.

      The bigger problem is that the soil on the amazon is actually pretty bad. There is a thin fertile layer that gets renewed by the forest. Once you cut it down to plant something else it quickly becomes bad, so you have to cut down more forest to keep up production

      Even give it away to starving families who lost their SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

      But capitalists have to lie, çeat, & steal.

        Giving things away for free en masse costs money. And the farmers are already going bankrupt from this. Big Ag will buy up that land cheap, and then the subsidies will be announced. Just like last time.

              You got it right the first time.
              Cha che chi cho chu = Ça çe çi ço çu.
              English is such a shit language it changes “ea” to /ι/ in “cheat” /çit/

                You seem reasonably proficient at it. I think you introduce misspellings like this on purpose—given your history. It’s a bit psychotic if you ask me—given your history…….

                  Making fun a language isn’t psychotic behavior, unless you have something you want to confess.

                  If anything, English is an imperial language forced down our throats after Amekos beat us in WWII. But given that you actually know history, you should know why Unicode relented on “ç” for /ch/.

                  What’s the problem with “çeat”? Pretty obvious that it’s pronounced “cheat”. If you’d speak three languages or more, you’d be aware of that.Don’t blame others for your eductional deficites.
