Winemaking season is so beautiful. If I wasn't so busy, I'd stop and enjoy it.

The best side effect to Bitcoin is optimism.

Bull Market Dreaming

If Balogun scores tomorrow he could legitimately flip the midterms for Trump.

I prayed to George Washington last night and this is what he told me.

I wasn't the first to put Bitcoin on a wine label, but I was the first to make the wine that went inside.

There's no government oversight on what's added to your wine, but I still don't think more oversight is the fix. Government involvement causes more problems than it solves. In this case, it's the source of the problem. So if not having ingredients labeled on your wine is a symptom, what is the root problem? Your lack of connection to the person who produces what you eat and drink. This traces back to 1970s ag policy. "Get big or get out" pushed farms across the country from growing multiple crops to just one. Decades of policy favoring globalism over local economies pushed farmers to stop growing food for their community and start producing global commodities. Your fruit and veggies aren't from Farmer Bill anymore, they're from Mexico or New Zealand. Most people in this country have no idea where their food actually comes from. The solution for individuals is more radical responsibility and less government reliance. Connection to the people who make your food and your local economy makes a bigger difference than you'd think. This doesn't fix the larger problem any time soon, but what else can you do? I'm not interested in Band-Aid solutions, and I don't ask the government that caused this problem to go fix the next one. You can just take responsibility for yourself. Meet your farmers.

Talladega Nights is the most American movie you could possibly watch tonight.

This 4th of July, declare independence from your grocery store. You already know 90% of what's in there is poison. Find an alternative. Make this the last 4th of July that you grill burgers and brats from the store. Meet your rancher. Declare Independence from Big Food.

Farming is a gambling man's game. You can prepare, work hard, and buy insurance to hedge your bets, but your ultimate outcome is always out of your control. There's no stopping a freak freeze or a hailstorm. Same as watching from the couch while the team you bet against wins. If you want a low-risk job, don't farm. If uncertainty stresses you out, start a garden. It's a low-stakes way to practice dealing with loss you can't prevent.
