The US has been able to over produce its food needs since the 1940's this is why we started the Food for Peace program now called USAID and corn based ethanol, both ideas came from Minnesota.

No we would switch the land to wheat. Corn saved farmers in the 70's and helped reduce the reliance on OPEC oil.

This is what you said "I think you're wrong.
Last time I checked, the cost of living has gone up quite a bit, compared to minimum wage."
This is factual inaccurate and has nothing to do with the cost of education.
"College is much less affordable now than it has been in the past."
this is also factual inaccurate and the % of people going to college proves this. In the US the number of kids who go to college has doubled since the 70's. You could say, the dumb fucks that go to a out of state school and get a degree in something that doesn't pay well and load themselves up with a ton of debt don't get their monies worth but school is certainly affordable if you do it wisely and the numbers prove it. Tuition is up but the cost of living is down and there are more opportunities then ever to get an education subsidized but I really think we need to go back to the "good old days" strip the schools bare, get rid of Pell grants and all lending and make people pay cash up front. Jam the "good old days" down the throats of everyone that thinks it was so awesome.

it is a fact prices are less and we can look things like gasoline, although adjusted for inflation gas prices have stayed about the same cars are getting 50% more miles per gallon so fuel as a % of income is less. Almost all consumer goods are cheaper today then they were in the past (maybe) all, can you find something that is more expensive today? Also tuition has been rising at 6% per year on average since the 1960's, this isn't anything new, sorry you aren't that special.

Even though these domestic flights appear not to have changed that much, international airfares have become much more affordable. According to Nomad Wallet, in 1970, a return flight between New York and London was retailed for $550. With inflation, that's around $5,350 in today's money. With low-cost airlines abound, tickets between New York and London can range from $300 to $1,000 in economy.

other costs where higher in the past though, housing , food, communication, transportation everything else was more expensive. Not saying things are not out of whack today but comparing only tuition is a misnomer. Norman Borlaug has said one of his motivators was nearly starving to death while going to college.

Electing the Speaker of the House is like electing a Prime Minister. The Speaker is the second most powerful political position in the US government and third in line for the Presidency after the Vice President. The House has the "power of the purse" meaning it controls the money. The House acts like shareholders, the Senate like a board of directors and the President like a CEO.

Reply to comment by Wagamaga in Farmland bird populations bounce back when farms devote 10% of their land to nature-friendly measures. Ten-year study measured changes in the abundance of farmland birds on land managed under bird-focused schemes, as well as land no bird-friendly farming initiatives. by Wagamaga
In the US there is a group dedicated to this called Pheasants Forever. It started from a single article about declining bird populations. Minnesota is also the home of the US Raptor Center and National Bald Eagle center which has brought back the Bald Eagle.
