Boycott China.

Boycott China in an intelligent way. Band together with other nations who have similar concerns about China's mercantilist practices and other issues like public health. TPP comes to mind as a good place to start, it would form the nucleus of a bigger future organisation. Let's say we have something like an international agreement that stipulates that no country will have a monopoly of manufacturing or other critical resources. Kinda like an arms limitation agreement or a climate change agreement. In fact such activities can be tied to climate change agreements and one mechanism and organisation can enforce both. Wanna make more stuff? Figure out how to do it with less of a carbon footprint to get an efficiency incentive.

You need leadership in the USA and an adult to help lead the effort, but trade and carbon can be linked to rein in China and move forward on green technology while reducing carbon levels. But Donald and the republicans have to go first, the Chinese had Donald over a barrel from the beginning, he is the most transparently inept negotiator I've ever seen.

They have private club pheasant hunts in Michigan so the working class city folk can get in on the killing too. You can actual put a pheasant to sleep by tucking it's head under a wing and rocking it. The club takes birds out early and places them in brushy spots and the birds will actually stay there for quite some time. Then they take the city killers to the spot and kick the bird up for them to shot, quite sporting.

The farms do drop them off at different locations and yes they do put them in a daze so they don’t fly/run as they are being placed. The ones I have seen use a dog to flush them but yes it is strictly a put and kill operation. Also it’s is not mostly city folk around here as it would be a giant money grab, fuckers are hard to hit lol. I have done it once and while enjoyable to watch the dogs work (I have the offspring of a grand champion GSP) it was not for me, don’t like pheasant meat as I discovered. The pheasant are an introduced species (from China lol) and there is a very low environmental impact. But I do get the optics are shitty lol. Now turkey I do hunt because I love eating turkey ....... thank you Michigan :).

Doing great till the pheasant hunt ;).
I used to hunt when I was younger, pheasant,partridge,duck,rabbit,deer,bear and even racoon. But I would go into the woods to hunt them and it lost it's charm before I was thirty. Didn't much care for bear and racoon hunting with dogs, waiting for dogs to tree something then shooting it out of a tree didn't seem very sporting either.

Ya me too and now i don’t hunt much at all. And never cared to do it for sport, it was always a means for food.

PSS This is coming from a White guy!
Don't blow it for the rest of us dude!

We don't have to claim our privilege. It's discretely handed to us on a silver platter the moment we are born.

Not enough to share with all the better tanned people of the world.

Damn I wish I could tan! Being fish-belly white isn't always so great when you're shedding snake skin 3 days after too much fun in the sun. If Mr. Happy gets an even burn I can wear his skin to fool a girl into thinking it's a condom! Silly girls. ;)
