“Number go up technology is a very powerful piece of technology. It’s the price. As the price goes higher, more people become aware of it, and buy it in anticipation of the price continuing to climb.”

“U.S. political debate insistently poses economic success and environmental health as enemies, permanently at odds. Loggers or owls? People or green spaces?

But farming at its best optimizes both economic and environmental health at the same time.”

Had they succeeded and made Burr the president, there would almost certainly be no republic today.”
