It’s also good for small to medium size businesses and translates into lower food prices (lower cost of transportation).
It also means that Fracking shale industry is no longer viable economically – which is good news if you are a fan of clean ground water.

Certains identifient la genèse des médias alternatifs à l’essor d’Internet. D’autres, prenant une perspective plus large, voient dans les médias indépendants la continuité d’une longue tradition de journalisme populaire, existant déjà sous la forme des libelles au Moyen-Âge. De tout temps, les pouvoirs en place ont employé le langage comme une arme permettant de légitimer leur position au sein de la société, et de la faire évoluer dans le sens de leurs intérêts.

Aldi Inc., a German grocery chain that is rapidly expanding in the United States, is making great strides to offer healthy foods at an affordable price.
The discount grocer plans to introduce Healthier Checklanes in select stores. Instead of candy and chocolate, Aldi will offer an assortment of nuts, trail mixes, dried fruits, and granola bars at its registers. The company says it will roll out the program to its nearly 1,500 stores by year’s end.
As one of the richest nations in the industrialized word, the U.S. wastes an estimated 40% of all food. If we reduced that number by just 15% we could feed half of the nearly 50 million Americans, 15 million of them children that go hungry every single day.

It is so remarkable how now that fiasco that occurred in the Persian Gulf, where two American naval vessels "strayed" into Iranian territory and were subsequently captured and later released by Iranian officials, has suddenly "disappeared" from the Jew spew media all together... The silence has now become deafening and apparently the US government wants to move the public's attention away from that fiasco and have them diverted in a whole new direction..... Basically the US got caught in some major shenanigans and they are desperate to have it covered up and quickly forgotten....
