Ice is already around $170 billion, which is roughly three times the budget of the Marine corps.

Most people can't understand just how much money that is. $40 billion of that is going to building new detention centers and various kinds of concentration camps. That's about $7m per ICE employee every year.

Well you see, record profits didn't increase at record speed every quarter.

Let me guess, we're going to bomb Iran a lot more, and then invade an area to steal oil or dig nuke material out of a crater. How could that fail...

And the 21 B52s just chilling in England. Totally just going for a pleasure cruise.

Or flown around to various detention centers for months on end with with no access to a lawyer, family, or healthcare...

How much would that actually save? The people getting cut probably use a below average amount of healthcare. Definitely not $666,666.66 each.

Maybe someone will engineer their demise intentionally. Never know when it could be really needed and for what.

Or CRISPR a food to create an army of hunter killer bees. 🙌

For context, he said this in 2022 when gas prices spiked due to Putin invading Ukraine.

Fox viewers probably do view him as woke, because he's critical of trump and openly supports Democrats. Or maybe they ignore him because it breaks their narrative.

Planting yarrow and milkweed is great for native bees, at least where I live.

I suspect this would not boost native mason bees to the same extent. Each mason bee makes about 25 cocoons for her eggs in a season, while a honey bee queen can lay 200k, and the remaining work goes to the rest of the hive.

Or do you mean putting out the supplement for feral honey bee hives?

That's great news for quickly replenishing commercial hives. If something wiped them out suddenly we would be facing global famine and a lot of hand pollination work.

So the US and Israel launched airstrikes against the Royal Palace, killing six members of the new leader's family, and injuring him. And we expect him to be level-headed?

Not to mention the grade school strikes...

 

Using CRISPR-Cas9, scientists engineered a yeast to produce the nutrient feed. Farmers could have it in two years.
