Bonjour à tous. Le #CosmopolitanGlobalist - qui sera bientôt lancé d'ailleurs - travaille désormais sur la question des agriculteurs. Plus précisément, nous nous demandons si les agriculteurs, les marchés libres et la démocratie peuvent coexister.
Étant donné que notre perspective est *mondiale,* nous souhaiterions qu’au moins une partie de cet article soit rédigée par des personnes intimement familiarisées avec ce problème en Afrique et en Amérique latine. Est-ce que c'est vous?
Vous n'auriez pas à écrire l'article en entier; en fait, nous pouvons simplement parler avec vous, si vous préférez. Ou vous pouvez écrire une partie de l'article. Alors, seriez vous au #Ghana, #CôteIvoire, #Nigeria, #Brazil, #Mali, #Rwanda, #Mexico, #Argentina, #Ecuador,
ou dans tout autre pays d'Afrique ou Amérique centrale ou du Sud où les agriculteurs sont satisfaits ou mécontents de la manière dont leurs gouvernements, élus ou non, ont apporté un soutien public aux entreprises agricoles?
Dans quelle mesure le libre-échange et les marchés ont-ils bien fonctionnés pour les agriculteurs et qu'en pensent-ils? Que pensent les autres citoyens de la subvention des agriculteurs avec *leurs* impôts? Pensent-ils que c'est une bonne idée?
Ou se demandent-ils pourquoi les agriculteurs sont subventionnés, mais eux, ils ne le sont pas? Nous aimerions beaucoup savoir. Nous sommes en train d'écrire, pour le moment, un essai qui traite de l'Inde, de l'UE et des États-Unis: mais nous sommes mondialistes. Et cosmopolite.
Une histoire qui néglige ce qui se passe en Afrique et en Amérique au sud des États-Unis ne serait ni l'un ni l'autre. Alors, Si vous êtes impliqué de quelque manière que ce soit dans cette histoire, en tant que journaliste, agriculteur, fonctionnaire--
--ou simplement un contribuable qui a des sentiments forts (ou même des opinions raisonnées), pourriez-vous me contacter? Et si vous connaissez quelqu'un qui pourrait vouloir en parler, pourriez-vous lui transmettre le message? Merci! @cosmo_globalist

Good morning, world. The #CosmopolitanGlobalist--which will launch soon, by the way--is working on a story about farmers. Specifically, we're working on a story about farmers, free markets, and democracy. Can they coexist? Since our perspective is *global,*
we would like for at least part of this story to be written by people intimately familiar with this issue in Africa and Latin America. Are you such a person? You wouldn't have to write the whole article; in fact, we can just interview you, if you prefer--
or you could write part of the article. Are you in #Ghana, #CôtedIvoire, #Nigeria, #Brazil, #Mali, #Rwanda, #Mexico, #Argentina, #Ecuador, #Uruguay, #Bolivia, #Chile, or any other country in Africa or Central or South America--

I wonder if I'm a fool for treating this like a joke. I mean, what are the odds it's true? Small, admittedly. But if it's true, how much would I *love* to meet the emissaries of the Galactic Federation? SO MUCH. Would it hurt me to be diplomatic?
To the Ambassador of the Galactic Federation
Tuesday, December 8, 2020

Your Excellency,

I am pleased to welcome you and eager to accept Letters accrediting you as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Galactic Federation.
I am grateful for the greetings which you bring from retired Israeli general Haim Eshed and I ask you to convey my good wishes for your leader's health and prosperity. I am also pleased to send my cordial greetings to your Federation and all the Federation's subjects.

Remarkable how many people have told me, in so many words, that they'd rather die. They obviously mean it literally, if you think about it.
I suspect though that some aren't understanding the herd immunity concept. They seem to be thinking, "Well, so what if his supporters die." It doesn't work like that. The vaccines results are so far extraordinary--better than ever imagined--but they don't offer 100% protection.
To get to the point where we just never think about Covid-19 again--where it's some ancient historic horror, like the Black Death--we need massive vaccine uptake. Otherwise, even though your risk will be much lower, you'll still be at some risk. From the other half of America.

As much as it galls people, it would be helpful, I think, for Biden to call it "The Trump vaccine," giving him full, lavish, and enthusiastic credit for operation Warp Speed. Otherwise, there's a good chance Trump will tell people not to take it.
If the thought of doing that makes you ill, remember that's a metaphor. What we want is to diminish illness, literally, and for that we need to get a good 80 percent of the population vaccinated.
(I don't know exactly what percentage; I'm guessing from other vaccines: It may be different for Covid, but we'll only know when we've conducted the experiment, which we're about to conduct whether we like it or not.)

Look, I don't get this. I retweeted this, and then only ten of you did the same. Why? This guy says *all he wants* is a lot of retweets. You can make him happy by hitting a button. Why wouldn't you do it? What does it cost you?
It's usually *hard* to meet other people's needs. Especially now. They need money. They need food. They need medical care. They need hope. They need love. They need time. I can't help with any of it. I can barely afford groceries. This guy wants ... a retweet!
Think how good it feels when you have enough money that you can spontaneously give some to someone who needs it even more than you. Most of us are not enjoying that pleasure right now because most of us are broke. This guy literally just wants you to push a button.

#WashingMachineUpdate, for those of you who've been unable to sleep wondering how I'd make it through the pandemic with a washing machine that's complètement foutue. God bless Darty. The repairman is here exactly as scheduled; he is replacing the pump and the tuyau interne.
No extra charge. The culprit was a "baleine de soutien-gorge," and "un bouchon" in the tuyau (deep in its innards) filled with six years' worth of cat fur, nicotine gum, and spare change. I couldn't have fixed it myself, no matter how many manuals I had. I didn't have the parts.
I am very grateful to everyone who offered advice, and so particularly grateful to @OnGBandC and @hlshaken for reasons they know well. Voilà the result of your generosity:
