As the Marxist agitator #AdamSmith once said, "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices."

Smith understood that capitalists hate capitalism. They don't want to compete with one another, because that would interfere with their ability to raise the prices their customers pay and reduce the wages they pay their workers.

I feel utterly violated of my digital content rights for spreading malicious Anti-India viral propaganda.
How many more such disturbing marketing campaigns to come in India?

१/५ शेतकरी दिल्लीत पोचू नयेत यासाठी काटेरी तारा, आडकाठ्या आणि सीमा सुरक्षा दळ? भले. तर ही आहे, सहकारी संघराज्य प्रणाली. का दिल्ली दरबारी शेतकऱ्यांचा उठाव थोपवण्यासाठी हरयाणाच्या सुभेदारांच्या संगनमतात सहकारी सरंजामशाही?

1/5. Barbed wire, Barricades and Border Security Force to stop farmers from reaching Delhi? Wow! There’s Cooperative Federalism for you. Or is it cooperative feudalism with the subedars of Haryana saving the Dilli Darbar from a peasant uprising?

2/5. Remember the 3 Farm Bills (now laws) that were to ‘liberate’ farmers from the clutches of the evil APMC? Rammed through by the Centre, hailed by media and ‘expert’ economists. Damn! The liberated are biting the hands that never fed them.

3/5. The government then quickly ‘codified’ 29 labour laws into four codes. More media and expert applause. But the ungrateful workers so empowered are on the streets today fully supporting the liberated farmers. Happy Constitution Day, all.

ATTN #CBD stakeholders: @US_FDA today holding scientific conf. on CBD/other #cannabinoids. I'll be live tweeting throughout. Not sure we'll get much insight on immediate path forward for consumer products but I'll share noteworthy observations. Agenda: bit.ly/3pHXU8V
I'll be paying particular attention to @DrAbernethyFDA's remarks at 9:05a (head of #FDA's #CBD Policy Working Group) and @DThrockmortonMD's keynote at 9:15a (one of Agency's principals for regulating R&D, manufacture & marketing of #cannabis & cannabis-derived #drug products).
🇺🇸 A national #food policy for the #UnitedStates:
Calls for a "National Food Policy" have been made for decades - with quite some resurgence in the past few years.
So, rooted in existing efforts & movement building, IPES-Food’s #US team is gearing up for more discussions.

#FarmBill is an excuse. Real reason is it threatens the monopoly of big farmers in Punjab & Haryana.
Hope PM @narendramodi doesn't back down on this like the land ordinance.
It is a key for doubling the farmers income especially those who have small land holdings.

Good idea. But it will have serious political ramifications. I would rather want all agricultural subsidies streamlined via DBT. @ARanganathan72
Another reason why #FarmBills must be passed. The monopoly of rich farmers (in Haryana & Punjab) must be broken. Small farmers would benefit from it.
🇺🇸 What about a U.S. #food policy? Is there even one to speak of right now? 🤷🏾♀️
Stay tuned during the coming weeks for more on a National Food Policy in the #UnitedStates.
... In the meantime, Molly Anderson and Ricardo Salvador give their take 👇🏾

The current U.S. food system is governed by a patchwork of uncoordinated policy frameworks and federal departments: #agriculture, #health, #environment, #energy, social security, #labor, #education.
So policies made at different levels of governance (e.g. municipal, state, tribal, federal) are often contradictory or disconnected from one another, leading to missed opportunities to support innovative local and regional #foodsystem initiatives already happening on the ground.
In Springfield today to announce more than $7.9 million in grants from @NBRC_Team to boost job growth in #VT. These funds will help grow our workforce, repair our infrastructure & give Vermont workers new skills for the modern economy.
We chose Springfield for this announcement because of @BRICvt. Their coworking & incubation space, & goal of growing startups in VT, is the type of project I had in mind when I expanded NBRC in the #FarmBill so all of VT would be eligible. They are receiving a $235k grant.
Federal grants will support the redevelopment of Main St in @Winooskivt, infrastructure in Newport, Burke, St. Albans & Randolph. Childcare & workforce efforts supported by @LetsGrowKids & @VTRoundtable.
The @USDA released a proposed rule to change the way states determine who qualifies for #SNAP, known as #CalFresh in CA. Today, I led my Democratic colleagues from the California Congressional Delegation in urging @SecretarySonny to rescind the proposal: panetta.house.gov/media/press-re…
California has relied on categorical eligibility to eliminate the asset test for #CalFresh. This ensures low-income families with substantial housing and childcare costs are still able to put food on their tables.
BREAKING: House passes 2018 #FarmBill that maintains programs critical for Central Illinois farmers, strengthens agricultural research, and improves protections for organic products.
We’ve written a strong bill for our farmers, but 80% of this bill is SNAP. While there is a slight increase in employment and training, not every able-bodied adult will have access to this job training program like they would have under the House bill.
This is a missed opportunity, and if our economy is going to continue grow, we’re going to need to fill the jobs that are open. I hope Democrats in the House will set the election aside and make this a priority next year.
A rider to the FARM BILL essentially strips War Powers regarding YEMEN from 115th Congress for the remainder of its term.
A child is DYING of starvation every 10 MINUTES in Yemen.
There is 1-hour debate on the Bill today.
The Senate also votes on their Yemen resolution today.

I’m thrilled that the 2018 #FarmBill contains big wins that I have fought to secure to help Oregon’s communities grow stronger by promoting job growth and economic opportunities. Here's a look at what's in this legislation: wyden.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
✅ My bill to legalize industrial hemp production in the United States, updating our antiquated drug laws to give farmers in Oregon and nationwide the ability to pursue new and innovative economic opportunities. wyden.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
✅ My provision to give real power to the @USDA to tackle deadly plant diseases that continue to threaten the livelihood of hop growers in Oregon. wyden.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
At the beginning of the year, I pledged to get the #FarmBill done, so that we could provide Ohio farmers with the certainty they deserve – and I’m proud that this final bipartisan bill will do that.
This final bill protects funding for critical nutrition programs that feed Ohio families, makes historic investments in local foods, and continues to invest in programs to improve water quality in Lake Erie and across the state.
We secured important wins for Ohio dairy farmers, as well as soybean and corn farmers. Congress should move swiftly so that we can get this bill over the finish line. -SB
Today I will be shadowed by my intern Kiernan, who will also be tweeting photos of his day from this account. My paid internship program is one of the best on Capitol Hill. If you are interested, apply by tomorrow, Nov. 16, HERE: leahy.senate.gov/services/inter…
[Kiernan] Today I’ll be shadowing Senator Leahy as part of my paid internship. I’m from beautiful @MorrisvilleVT and study political science at @AmericanU. Excited for a busy day as the Senator meets with constituents, committees, dignitaries, and advocates.
[Kiernan] Starting off the day in a @senjudiciary executive business meeting where the Senator spoke out against Trump’s installation of Whitaker as Acting AG. The Committee also reported #Vermont’s US Marshal nominee Brad LaRose for a vote on the Senate floor unanimously.
In the US Senate, I've made it a priority to raise awareness about the challenges in Indian Country & help stand up for Native American families. Follow along today and on Monday to learn more.
84% of Native American women experience violence in their lifetime. But outside of Indian Country, few people are aware of this epidemic. That’s why I introduced #SavannasAct to help law enforcement crack down on these horrible crimes.
Combating the crisis of missing & murdered Native American women is about hope, justice & letting Native women across the country know that they're #NotInvisible—and that’s what #SavannasAct aims to help achieve. Read more @inforum inforum.com/news/4339231-s…
Literally right as House & Senate began conference on the #FarmBill this morning, @USDA released a report finding 15 MILLION American households—about 1 in 6—struggled to put food on the table at some point last year. ers.usda.gov/publications/p…
Yet House Republicans, led by @ConawayTX11, are STILL pushing for massive cuts to nutrition assistance that would take food away from 2 million Americans.
These are the members of Congress who are deciding whether to maintain food assistance through SNAP—or to take food out of the mouths of hungry kids & families to pay for millionaire & corporate tax cuts👇👇👇

If you, like me, cannot point to a single thing @RepFrenchHill has done for the benefit of his constituents in #AR2 then you owe it to yourself and everyone else in the seven county area to vote for @clarketucker this November. #arpx #Vote #Midterms2018
.@RepFrenchHill has voted to end coverage for pre-existing conditions. He doesn't care whether or not you can afford to see a doctor, or even if your health insurance will cover a visit. He does not care about #Arkansans #AR2 #ByeFrench #VoteThemOut #arpx
.@RepFrenchHill supports @realDonaldTrump #ConcentrationCamps for migrant children, infants, and toddlers. He refuses to speak up about these egregious #HumanRights violations. #Arkansas deserves a better, more humane representative in #AR2 - @clarketucker is that person! #Vote

Being offensive doesn't mean you are being honest. It just means you are offensive. I used to respect you but you obviously haven't been paying attention to how Trump is an admitted sexual predator who is literally trying to take food out of the mouths of kids.

As he and the Republicans try to pass the #FarmBill that sets Single parents up to fail and will literally starve poor and low income children and adults, elderly, and disabled people who hone can't work or who do work as much as they can thus
"Working poor" , losing foodstamps.

3 who honestly can't work... typo, all simply because Trump and the
Republicans hate the poor just for being poor, seek to punish and humiliate them , and are evil and have no compassion. So while you admire Trump the sociopath's honesty, he's trying to kill poor people.
