Why what are they gonna do profile it?
“safeguard”
Don’t worry, they’ll let us eat cake
What an amazing grift.
There is a reason their stock was like 600x price:earnings, now it’s only 242x. Tech stocks are aggressive at 30-80x.
When the fix is in, the fix is in.
FUCK!!
I’m GLAD that we’re able to give HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of Dollars to this Company that paid $0 in Taxes while helping ICE Murder us!
Fuck this country
Is that a threat?
Having a bunch of shadow puppets controlling the food supply is scarier than most of the other trump related bullshit.
Fucking clown show of a county
Sigh. We’re gonna go from third in the world in food safety to like 80th. Speed run.
Rice is a major staple food in our house. We’ve always avoided rice from the US as several studies have shown higher heavy metal levels in most American grown rice.

This does not negate our food ranking for safety when compared to the rest of the world no matter how much you might like it to be otherwise.
Think about what I said vs what you think I said before you decide to reply to me.
Think about what I said vs what you think I said before you decide to reply to me.
I did. Now think about what’s in your food at 3rd place and consider how much worse it’s going to get.
Why? Seriously. What for? What was the point of replying to my original comment? Are you trying to start a fight?
Do you not like facts? Is it just that you felt like what I said was misleading?
What is your deal?
Because it seems to me like you’re just being antagonizing for no reason.
My comment wasn’t intended to be a defense of American food. It wasn’t suppose to come across as if the food doesn’t have any flaws or dangers. But you sure took it like I said something crazy.
You aren’t even comparing our rice and the levels of heavy metals found to other countries to see where we land.
Or explaining the difference between brown rice levels of heavy metals vs white rice levels (brown rice having more heavy metals by a large margin).
Instead you’re just out here spreading FUD for reasons so you can dunk on the US.
Farm security is national security. Through this partnership, Palantir is empowering USDA with core capabilities that will enable it to secure American farmland, enhance supply chain resilience, and shield agricultural programs from fraud, abuse, and foreign adversary influence. In doing so, USDA will gain critical visibility into risks that can affect America’s agricultural production and food supply.
I’m curious about what this’ll look like in practice.
Because it sounds like the US federal government is about to make total surveillance a prerequisite for subsidies.
I’m confident you’re correct. Also, as always, the surveillance isn’t for the reason they state; it’s just an excuse. They want to monitor all the people. They’ll be able to track when and where everyone goes in rural areas. Urban areas are mostly covered by Flock.
Even worse they have them along highways too, so you really can’t escape to rural areas either
For some reason fertilizer is very expensive, and for some reason crop yields might be worse than ever this year… I wonder if those totally unavoidable things (which probably didn’t involve a waste of our tax dollars) factor into this decision (to use more tax dollars)
I don’t get what they will sctually be doing. It’s all hype speak and that’s a lot of money for mumbo jumbo.
Sounds like you understand it just fine
The food supply is one of the main levers that the working class has to put pressure on the ruling class. “Securing” the food supply means taking away the possibility for farmers to protest.
So, regularatory capture is now announced to fanfare?
Fuck me. If our treasonous legislature hadn’t been cutting funding for decades, there would be no problem to solve. This is a bullshit “solution” to an engineered problem.
