  • Agree, working at a McDonald’s today is not about the “work”. It’s about the pay and the ability to live the lifestyle that job would afford. Which is not something either candidate would ever experience, after todays wages, cost of living, and inflation is factored in.

    However, Harris probably has an idea of what that life would be like and has the ability to empathise. Where as Trump will just use the photo op as a way to get free McDonald’s

    I think one of the two most beneficial things that could be done for America would be to enact a proper living wage that is in line with inflation. Not only would that help the minimum wage workers but it would also increase tax revenue.

    However the best way to increase the tax revenue would be to tax the rich. Either way, Trump would definitely not do either.







  • I like this idea in concept. However in most cases failure is mostly due to power loss. So unless these seprate systems have different power sources it might not protect from catastrophy that much.

    As some one who does aquaponics at home. Here are some things ive learned which you might consider.

    • There is a minimum physical footprint that these systems use, especially if you are trying to conserve power. So it might make more sense to max out those systems in that minimum footprint.
    • Different fish can have very different temperature and pH requirements.
    • The pH and temp that the fish like isn’t always what a plant wants.
    • some fish have much greater ranges of pH and temp requirements than others.
    • if indoors, it’s easy for a pest to establish. Like aphids will trive without ladybugs or green lacewings.
    • Vegetables grown in aquaponic systems simply do not taste as good as vegetables grown in soil. Often they are lacking flavor.
    • something about the water in an aquaponic system is excellent for propagation from plant cuttings.

    For these reasons, I use aquaponics more as a backup and complimentary grow system to my no till regenative garden. Having an indoor system is great in the winter if you want leafy greens or to proprpgate trees for the next season.
