re: State of Missouri doesn’t like home grown pickles & green beans

yeah here's the thing jethro, actual pickles are fermented, with brine in a process that can take 3 months to a year, quick pickles which are brined while fresh under refrigeration (think vlasic pickles) must remain refrigerated that's why you buy them in your grocers refrigerated section.

if you don't adhere to one of these processes you can grow salmonellae

but he11 son you can eat those pickles, in fact have two!

It seems that a civilizational axiom is becoming apparent. The more powerful, complex and ‘successful’ (think population) that a society becomes, the more CONTROL that the underlying societal institutions of governance MUST become. Essentially, said population growth is based on the increase of the weaker in society, which growth would otherwise not exist in a society with less economic power to distribute societal, morality-based largesse to the weak.

By the same metric, exponential increase in the weaker demographic of society is obviously problematic, especially minus Qualified Subsidization. And especially if a society is Democratic. And built on Individual Freedom. For all. As the weak will vote themselves ‘equal’ (DEI) shares of the GNP based on morality as opposed to merit. I.e., “social justice “.

New Axiom : Powerful societies must adopt CONTROL Mechanisms relative to the increase in both the weaker individual demographic and that of predatory stronger demographics as well. Lest systematic dysfunction result in collapse.

Bottom line: CONTROL

It’s coming. Very interesting time.
