Guess who is the biggest beneficiary of the U.S Farm Bill? Is it farmers??? NO.
It’s Walmart. Take a look:
“When people think of the U.S. Farm Bill, they usually picture money going to farmers. But the truth is, most of that money actually goes to food assistance programs like SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), which helps low-income families buy groceries.
Here’s where it gets interesting:
Walmart—the biggest grocery store chain in the country—gets a huge amount of that money.
Out of all the stores where people use SNAP, Walmart gets 25.8% of those dollars. Kroger gets 8.4%, and Albertsons gets 5.9%.
Now, look at the big picture:
The 2023 Farm Bill will cost $1.51 trillion over 10 years.
About 81% of that (or $1.223 trillion) goes to SNAP.
Walmart’s share—25.8% of $1.223 trillion—adds up to around $315.5 billion.
That means Walmart ends up with about 20% of the entire farm bill budget—even though it’s not a farm.
So even though the Farm Bill is supposed to support agriculture, the biggest single beneficiary is actually a giant retail company: Walmart.”

🛢📈 — Reuters reports that oil is approaching $100 per barrel following the latest exchange of attacks between Americans and Iranians on oil tankers.
▶️The price of Brent crude has risen to $97.07 per barrel, while American WTI crude has risen to $92.28. In the past week, Brent has risen by 7.8%, while WTI has risen by nearly 10%.
▶️On Saturday, U.S. forces attacked three Iranian oil tankers, one of which was stationed near the island of Kharg, a key center for Iranian oil exports. In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced attacks on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and three more U.S. ships.
▶️In this context, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has sharply declined. Over the past 10 days, an average of only 10 cargo ships have transited the strait per day – the lowest level since May.
The WHO now states on its website:
Vaccination against COVID-19 can trigger multiple sclerosis through cross-reactive CD4+-T cells that recognize the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and myelin peptides.
In other words: Your own immune system destroys the nerve pathways and then attacks your brain and spinal cord.
