No.
If you’ve ever visited Northern Europe, you’ve noticed that the fare is more about meat and potatoes than it is the rich salads and vegetable plates of the Mediterranean. The reason for that is that higher latitudes have less solar irradiation, even in summer, than their lower latitude cousins, regardless of of how many hours of (extremely weak) sunlight they receive.
Below is a photo of the sunshine near the summer solstice in the northern part of Sweden. Yes, it’s 24 hours a day, but does this seem like an environment in which veggies are going to thrive?
The vast majority of Americans are thrilled that the midterms brought us the “blue tsunami,” but there are a couple of things that don’t really add up. You may have noticed that:
The U.S. wants a random alcoholic Fox News “journalist’s” head on the plate for having orchestrated the war in Iran, when all he was doing was pursuing his loyalty to Donald Trump, the man who started this asinine and grossly illegal war.
There seems to be no effort to cause Trump, who tried to violently overthrow the U.S. federal government, to face accountability for his treasonous acts.
What’s up with the media? Is there a concerted effort to avoid the facts? What’s the problem with honesty, and telling Americans the truth? Isn’t this the clearest instance of gaslighting in our history? Are we now trying to pretend that Trump never existed?
If such a landslide victory against a would-be autocrat had happened anywhere else on Earth, that traitor would be in prison now, in most cases facing execution.
I was hoping, now that we have midterms behind us, that the morons trying to convince voters that the U.S. is a socialist/communist country would come up with a new package of s*** to spread around.
The country with the highest percentage of ultra-high net worth individuals? Norway.
