“On Monday, the Dutch government launched a voluntary buyout scheme for peak nitrogen emitters near nature reserves. For those who don’t want to close their companies, the government also launched a support scheme to help farmers plan sustainability measures to make their businesses future-proof, Minister Christianne van der Wal for Nature and Nitrogen announced. She repeatedly stressed that these schemes are entirely voluntary.
From today, farmers can start working with the peak polluters approach, Van der Wall said. ‘Together with those around them, they can think about the future of their company,’ she said, adding that she understands these choices will impact farmers and their loved ones. 'That is why we will support them as best we can.’ But she stressed that these choices are vital to ensure a ‘strong nature, healthy company, sustainable production, and a liveable countryside.’
Farmers can use the tool on this website to figure out whether they fall under the ‘peak load’ category. It involves companies that cause at least 2,500 mol nitrogen deposition per year within 25 kilometers of overloaded nitrogen-sensitive nature. According to the government, the approach covers about 3,000 companies, primarily farmers.
For farmers who decide to close their companies, the government launched a ‘once-off, financially very attractive termination scheme.’ There are two buyout schemes. The first is for dairy, pig, poultry, and veal farmers who fall under the peak load target group.
“Social issues are creating a market downdraft for America's mainstay brands — just ask Target, Anheuser Busch, Kohl's and their collective $28.7 billion loss in market value since the beginning of April.
Why it matters: Fiercely contested cultural issues have always aroused political passions, and held sway over electoral politics.
Yet Corporate America is finding itself trapped between society's progressive impulses, and the conservative backlash.
Reactions and counter-offensives against all things "woke" mean companies can find themselves in the crosshairs anytime, and they can't predict the fallout.
Driving the news: Anheuser-Busch InBev is still feeling the reverberations of its April decision to engage transgender social-media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Boycotts have come at a cost to both its stock and beer sales.
The controversy has shaved billions off its market capitalization amid a 20% swoon in its stock (it's since recovered, but sits well below the 52-week high it hit in March).
This week, NielsenIQ data from consulting firm Bump Williams showed Bud Light losing its perch as America's most imbibed brew to Constellation Brands' Modelo.
“Unionized UPS workers voted overwhelmingly on Friday to authorize a strike, setting the stage for a potential work stoppage if the package delivery company and Teamsters can’t come to an agreement before their contract expires next month.
The Teamsters said 97% of unionized workers voted for the authorization, which the union urged for in order to have more leverage during negotiations with the company. But a yes vote does not mean a strike is imminent.
‘If this multibillion-dollar corporation fails to deliver on the contract that our hardworking members deserve, UPS will be striking itself,’ Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said in a prepared statement. ‘The strongest leverage our members have is their labor and they are prepared to withhold it to ensure UPS acts accordingly.’
The Teamsters represent about 340,000 UPS employees, more than half of the company’s workforce in the largest private-sector contract in North America. If a strike occurs, it would be the first since a 15-day walkout by 185,000 workers crippled the company a quarter century ago.
UPS has grown vastly since then and become even more engrained in the U.S. economy. The company says it delivers the equivalent of about 6% of the nation’s gross domestic product. That means a strike would carry far-reaching implications for the economy.
You need to be prepared… there’s just too much crazy stuff happening.

“Stop The Ride, I Want To Get Off Friday,” Ripped From The Headlines. Things To Ponder:
“Stop Producing Food… For The Environment!”
Dutch farmers have been staging mass protests over the last few years because the Dutch government's logic says fewer of those farms need to exist…
“For The Environment…”
Interestingly enough, these same farmers… and the same environment… have been existing together for generations, with no problem…
Now, those farms, and their farmers, present a clear and present danger…
“Because of climate change…”
You know this isn’t going to just go away right?
And, it won’t be long until you see it happening here in the US, and other countries worldwide…
As a reminder, here’s their plan:
From today, farmers can start working with the peak polluters approach, Van der Wall said. ‘Together with those around them, they can think about the future of their company,’ she said, adding that she understands these choices will impact farmers and their loved ones. 'That is why we will support them as best we can.’ But she stressed that these choices are vital to ensure a ‘strong nature, healthy company, sustainable production, and a liveable countryside.’
Farmers are going to have a “choice to remain…” until of course they are killed by some type of “climate change fee.”
Then, you’ll only be able to rely on the government for your food…
And everything else.
KNOW YOUR FOE.
“You’re Just An Average Person With An Opinion? Great, You’re In The Conservative Backlash Bucket!”
Now, more than ever before, words matter.
The story on “conservative backlash” from Axios has decided where you sit in your life for you.
Liberal with an opinion? CONSERVATIVE BACKLASHER!!!
Moderate with an opinion? CONSERVATIVE BACKLASHER!!!
Conservative with an opinion? EXTREMIST!!!
Could it possibly be… just maybe… that people are fed up with BS and agendas being forced on them?
Axios could have simply written the headline, “Americans Vote With Their Dollars.”
But where’s the money in that right?
Speak up now, or forever be a backlasher.
Know Your Foe.
“It’s Only 6% Of The Gross Domestic Product That They Carry… Who Cares If They Strike?”
There’s a real chance that UPS goes on strike this summer…
That’s bad for all of us, seeing that they carry 6% of the TOTAL GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) OF THE COUNTRY.
In case you’re curious about GDP:
“GDP measures the monetary value of final goods and services—that is, those that are bought by the final user—produced in a country in a given period of time (say a quarter or a year). It counts all of the output generated within the borders of a country.”
The fact that the headline mentions supply chain stress should give you pause…
Remember the rail strike late last year?
We were on the edge of a massive disaster if that had not been averted.
We’re not saying UPS is going to strike…
We’re saying you need to keep an eye on this because it would impact you greatly if it would happen.
Keep your head on a swivel.
Did you realize that even something like a solar flare can knock out your electronics? Or kill your car?
Yes, you could be partying like it’s 1859 in the snap of a finger…
Yikes.

Your future depends on it.
What Does This Mean?
The strange push to force you into reliance on government resources to live, to stifle any opinion you have by framing you as a hater of something, and a poly-crisis that never seems to end… are not good for you.
You’re going to need to dig in and remain vigilant on what’s happening if you’re going to stop it or survive what happens.
Why Should I Care?
If you have to rely on the government, you’re not free.
If you can’t speak your mind, someone will make it up for you.
If you’re always on edge, you can’t think clearly.
See a trend here?
None of this is good for you.
