Sounds like a job for a “community organizer”.
Peasants working the king’s land, novel idea.
If this becomes a trend....look for “Detroit Corn” coming to a store near you...soon!
Probably from the old Packard plant...
The phrase “food justice” scares the crap out of me.
I see the 0bamites seizing farmland and giving it to “his people”, and then mass famines in our country, and the world.
Urban Farming...the Pol Pot approach.
The article they link to says they plan on growing fresh produce year round
I’m assuming they mean indoors under lights as produce doesn’t do that will under snow.
Rahm to bring mini-plantations to black neighborhoods.
So you’re saying there is a slight possibility that the whole farming-in-the-city thing might not work out? What could possibly go wrong other than it being a big money-sucking joke on taxpayers?
Then, after they became successful, they moved back to the garden suburbs to get away from the city.
I didn't think Rahm was a complete doofus until I read this!
That’s good....
“Didn’t folks leave the farm and move to the city to get away from farming?”
Sure. But they’re all dead. As are the manufacturing jobs for which they left the farm. So why not use derelict land for growing food?
First they forced banks to loan money in the Inner Cities, although everyone knew that the banks would essentially be handing out cash and property, because most of the inner city residents couldn’t and/or wouldn’t ever pay the loans back. Now they are trying to force retailers to open stores in the inner cities, using the old “racism” club if they refuse. The reason retailers don’t want to open stores in the Inner Cities is the increased cost of security, and the losses from shoplifting, robberies and vandalism that will far outweigh any profit they will ever see from these stores. So essentially, those of us in suburban and rural areas are going to be “subsidizing” these inner city stores through increased food prices.
The chapter called "The Scouring of the Shire" details how a small number of committed patriots rouse the populace and throw the ruffians out.
Messing with guns, and messing with the food supply will be risky activities for the Elitists. That's the sort of behavior that gets people's attention.
Everyone should be HYPER-sensitive of any effort to restrict access to the means to resist tyranny.
When the British attempted to seize the arsenal,
that was when the colonists decided “IT’S ON!”
Great idea. And the residents can receive free food, shelter, medical care, etc., in exchange for working the plantat.....errrrr.....I mean, Community Gardens.
Twelve Oaks. Ooh, wait. Tara
Did Mugabe ever use the term “food justice” in Zimbabwe?
I’m sure it was under the banner of [social] justice that Mugabe justified seizing the farmland of white farmers to give to his cronies.
Of course, the communists did pretty much the same thing in China. The promised the peasants that they would get the landowners’ land for their own.
Well, they kept their promise, for a while. The peasants were given the land after the communists killed the landowners, but after a while, no harvesting could be done without an armed official of the communist party present, and then the government took away more than the former landowners ever did.
A very socialist concept.
We will all work for the collective, Chicago will determine “For each unto his need” comrade.
