This news annoys me. I'm a dyed-in-the-hemp liberal in Florida who hates what's been happening in my home state. Book banning infuriates me. At the same time, i get frustrated when anyone signs an anti-ban bill.
I'd love to live in Ca, but at the same time, seeing more and more legislation from California only adds fuel to the fire when conservatives (or whatever Republicans claim to be) use that particular state as an argument against big government.
Obviously there's a massive difference between laws that, in effect, enshrine rights vs laws that prohibit said rights. All the same, the more paperwork governments file, the less defense liberals have when contending with the naive, or the click-bait headlines used to argue for the freedom the less-informed believe they're fighting for.
I saw something on YouTube today that there may be rice shortages coming. Apparently India is a big producer, and, IIRC, they’re halting exports on everything that isn’t basmati, in an effort to protect their supply availability at home.
Whether Costco’s rice change has any ties to this (directly or indirectly) I do not know.
I didn't understand the drama myself, until I realized the toes of the boots are empty- just looking at them, you can see they're essentially deflated.
