    This is my favorite streaming show. As a city boy I get to learn about the difficulties of farming, while also laughing with the occasional dusty room.

    Well done Clarkson.

     

    Yep.  My grandfather was a farmer.  It ain't for pussies.

    just listened to this pod today with Caroline Spears or Climate Cabinet. It's worth a listen imo.

    She and her organization are trying to "Moneyball" elections for candidates who are good on climate. 

    They throw their money behind everyone from local water boards up to state legislature. 

    Basically their goal is to find elections throughout the country where they can get the most bang for their buck.

    One of her talking points was being bipartisan, kinda.  So they have looked through the way every candidate has voted in the last four years around the country.  They graded their votes as how beneficial or detrimental it was to climate.  They found 1000 Dems who received an A+ grade and 9 Rs.

    If they think the Rs are good on climate they give support them without advertising. 

    She talks about how ridiculous Rs are on climate. Citing examples about them being against the ideas of 15minute cities.  

    Meanwhile Dems who are good on climate also seem to be good on affordable housing, public transport etc. 

    I'm going to donate to them.  If you like the pod and want to as well here's their website.
