Farmland must be redistributed as land grants to Black Americans (comparable to the 160+ acres received by homesteading white Americans, and which would be secured via eminent domain, if necessary) until at least 15% of arable land in the United States is Black-owned.
Today, just a handful of white families own more rural land than all Black Americans combined. Indeed, despite making up close to 13% of the population, Black Americans own less than 1% of the land in the United States.9 There have been, throughout American history, several government policies that assisted white Americans in obtaining land. The Homestead Act of 1862, for example, provided millions of acres for white American ownership; this included white men, white women, and European immigrants. However, Black Americans were excluded from this massive land grant initiative and subsequent land grant initiatives like the Timber Culture Act of 1873, the Kincaid Amendment of 1904, the Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909, and the Stock-Raising Homestead Act of 1916. The redistribution of land outlined above will ensure the full inclusion of Black Americans in agriculture, and finally right the intentional, historic imbalance of government subsidies meant to promote agricultural output.
Because lineage is so critical to the multigenerational plundering of Black farming in America, the ADOS Advocacy Foundation has developed the ADOS Matrix™ to be used as a rubric by legislators who will be writing policy with an eye toward proper historical redress. The ADOS Matrix™ must be utilized when prioritizing the provision of land grants for new Black farmers.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...
This paper answers why confident idiots run the world.
Cornell University published a psychological paper that explains every terrible boss, every loud influencer, and every broken corporate hierarchy.
It’s called “Unskilled and Unaware of It.”
they tested participants across logic, grammar, and humor to measure the gap between actual performance and self-perception.
And the results are wild.
participants scoring in the bottom 12th percentile consistently believed they were operating in the 62nd percentile.
they were not lying. they were literally incapable of recognizing their own incompetence.
the paper revealed a brutal paradox:
the exact skills required to master a domain are the exact same skills required to accurately evaluate your own competence in that domain.
if you lack the skill, you inherently lack the cognitive capacity to realize you are failing.
this creates a dangerous systemic loop.
the incompetent are blessed with absolute, blinding certainty. their brain protects them from their own ...
IVERMECTIN BENEFITS:
1. Ivermectin has won the Nobel prize for medicine and has an extremely good safety profile Ivermectin prevents the damage caused by RNA Vaccines.
2. Ivermectin blocks the entry of Spike Protein into cells. So, if the person was vaccinated with COVID, they have hope, they have a way to treat themselves through Ivermectin.
3. Ivermectin is a treatment after Covid and after vaccination, it is an effective medicine in all phases of Covid 19, even before entering the cell, Ivermectin already destroys the virus in the blood. It only has beneficial effects and no harmful effects in the treatment of the coronavirus.
4. Ivermectin has a very powerful anti-inflammatory action against Coronavirus.
It is Antibacteria such as tuberculosis and Buruli ulcer
6. Ivermectin has a powerful action for traumatic and orthopedic injuries, it strengthens muscles and has no side effects like corticosteroids.
7. Ivermectin treats autoimmune ailments such as: rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, Crohn's ...
