Right. Get rid of the “smart”, and only modifier left for that network is “ass”.

Either dead chickens or folks will find out that just about every wild critter wants to eat your chickens. You’ll have raccoons and coyotes eating the chickens, snakes eating the eggs and chicks, the occasional hawk or other predatory bird, plus any other predators in the vicinity, and perhaps the occasional neighbor looking to get really fresh chicken for their own eating purposes.
That’s over and above the various diseases chickens are prone to (including but not limited to flu), issues with temperature, and so on.
They also revoked a $500,000 grant that was to help Community Supported Agriculture, so they don’t want people to buy food from abroad or locally.
Believe it or not, it is legal to raise chickens in all five boroughs of New York City! Here is a guide:

The upside is that the small claims court shows are going to get some interesting cases…….dogs killing the neighbor’s chickens, kids stealing the neighbors eggs, chickens getting loose and causing havoc in the cul de sac……good TV!
My sister has three chickens, which produce a sufficiency of eggs. In the past they have lost hens to foxes, neighbors’ dogs, hawks and other chickens.
Real Americans live in cities too, but Republicans hate that fact.
Also it leads to a much larger pool of people who are in contact with Chickens. While currently hundreds of thousands of chickens can be taken care with contact with only a few dozen people, now the chicken to human ratio will be close to parity. That will massively increase the number of transmissions to people and with it the chance that it might mutate into something that can go from human to human.
My mom (who lives in a city) keeps chickens. The eggs she sells to neighbors (for cheaper than the grocery store charges) are enough to cover the ongoing costs of raising them (and that’s not even all of the eggs-- She keeps some for herself, my uncle, and me, without payment). Caring for them isn’t all that difficult, either, though it does require action every day (mostly, refilling their water-- they drink a lot).
The water in those eggs has to come from somewhere.
Isn’t their idol a life-long city boy?
Have you ever been a chicken? If you had, you would understand.
No. Just no. My mother kept a flock. They were semi free-range, in that she often let them out into the garden, but aside from eggs, their biggest value was chicken shit. Their coop had raised nesting sites; the floor was covered with hay.
So they shit on the hay, and it makes great fertilizer. Except the gate to get in the coop was quite small, and my mother who was, and probably still is, a fan of unpaid labour used to send us kids in to shovel and bag the hay/shit mixture.
Not my favourite chore.
That’s the beauty of it! With no one checking for bird flu, they won’t find any bird flu. Problem solved! /s
My smart-ass question is how does this increase the number of eggs produced?
Of course, it doesn’t, it’s just another Republican “solution” that is an incredibly myopic take on a society wide problem.
So, Elon’s been meddling in Wisconsin’s upcoming supreme court election. No surprise there, well one surprise, it made it a whole lot easier to figure out which person to vote for in a “non-political” race. I’m going to vote for the person he ran an attack ad against while using a picture of some other random person with the same name.
However, he apparently created a group called “Progress 2028”
Progress 2028 is a front group that is underwriting fake digital ads and text messages that are supposedly promoting liberal Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford by tying her to unpopular or controversial political positions or groups, such as Planned Parenthood. The goal is to chip away support from Crawford in her race against conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel in the April 1 election.
How do we know this?
The same group aired fake ads purporting to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris by lauding her for supposedly taking unpopular or far-left positions, such as backing gun buyback initiatives, in the 2024 campaign against Trump. She did not back that proposal.
I haven’t looked at the Progress 2028 site yet, but here it is:
But he’s a country-boy at heart.
Or something like that. It’s the same way he’s a good Christian for some and an excellent businessman despite six bankruptcies.
Yup, he’s “a guy I’d have a beer with” to a lot of folks he’d rather spit on than share a drink with (not that he drinks beer at all)
