Summary
At the first meeting of the DOGE Caucus, a new congressional group focused on government efficiency, Republican Rep. Greg Lopez stated that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are likely “on the table” as part of debt reduction efforts.
The caucus, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to slash government spending, raising concerns among advocacy groups about potential attacks on anti-poverty programs.
Critics, including Social Security Works, warn the caucus may push for privatization and benefit reductions.
This comes despite Trump’s prior commitment to protect these programs.
You know what? Im already this fucking close anyway:
Spins up my semi-industrial mushroom and weed farm again
Time to make some untracked moolah I guess
I would like to purchase a stake in your industrial botanical operation. What people will do with weeds I have no idea but mushrooms are always popular at the farmers market.
Its shockingly easy to produce pounds of mushrooms, btw
Clear 10Gal bin from Walmart (I use 4 for diff stages and always having some growing) - $12/ea
Pack of wide mouth bell jars - $30
Jar lids for mycology: pack of 6 for $12
Coco coir - I got 12 bricks for $50 years ago and still going strong with over half my supply
Brown rice flour - $4 a bag at my local store
Perlite: varies depending on the time of year. Got a huge bag for like 60 bucks last winter
Water spray bottle: $2
Thermometer and hydrometer combo: $8
Enough spores for 6 jars of in ovulation: $12-15 and will be shipped to your door
Hardest part is innoculation without cross contamination, if you get that far and remember to spray 3x a day you’re basically guaranteed 2-3 fruiting cycles with a good 1/8 to 1/4 per cycle per jar, ime
