Black Unemployment Rate at Record Low

[GUBU]

Doubtful, but, bringing it back round to the OP discussion.....I have never had a black csa customer.  Not once.  Not here, not in Alabama, not in Florida.  It;s slightly less surprising here since you rarely see anything but a white face...but it was an interesting tick in Talladega and Tampa Bay.  

On the one hand we might make comments about wealth and affluence in the general, and that might explain why CSA's are predominantly white..but on the other hand, it might be behavioral and social.  They're seen as a white persons thing.  A white liberal thing, even more specifically.  A white liberal suburban thing...narrowing it down.  A white liberal suburban thing that your mom does to brag to her fellow empty nesters come the book club meeting...thing.  

Which is a shame, but we're working on changing the reality of the model and peoples perceptions.  I suppose I could pull up my files and rattle off exactly what percentage of respondents are minorities, there have been high profile success stories in urban reclamation projects...but they're the exception, not the norm.

For now, for me at least, we're extending the deadline for payment (we like to have em signed up by taxtime, and paid up before final frost)and increasing our number of work shares.  Hopefully this allows people who are planning to have less money this year to either squre it away in their minds..or, if they just can't..trade a little bit of their time wandering around in the hot ass sun with me (they're useless, btw...just really bad at picking and packing..and they spend 80% of the time airing their political grievances at me..it is a movement, after all - yet another service I provide).  

That, however..means that I will be purchasing less labor.  See how it all trickles down real nice?

Quick question: What does CSA stand for?

Brian power? 

Is that better than brain power? Inquiring minds wanna know.

Yes. Yes it is.

Us Brians are clearly the superior intellects (well apart from KHAAAAAAAAAAANS!).

I don't 'believe in' trickle down.  I simply stated the tax plan has been beneficial for me.  All the other attributes you assigned to me are like your ever changing stories, made up in your imagination, to compensate for the narcissism lurking below the surface.

If you say so, Jane.  

I'm glad that it's working out for you.  It doesn't work out for people whose itemized deductions from last year were greater than the new cap this year unless they can rearrange their income and shift those deductions to an llc, for example..because even though they can't claim their full value...an llc still can, and..for these people, is taxed at a lower effective rate.  This loss will not be offset by "business investment" that doesn't exist, and, as far as I know, across the board salary increases aren't being discussed.  

It's a reality of the tax plan, it was an intentional swipe at the political opponents of the tax plan, and that affects me and businesses like mine by affecting our target demographics.

Community Supported Agriculture. It's a term for a farm that (generally) sells shares in the farm direct to the consumer rather than produce by the pound or to purchasing agents. There are a couple ways to do it..but..people sign up, pay up..and then every week they get a box of veggies and/or whatever else a farm produces. It's not a viable model in the majority of cases, yet, and largely because it depends on a premium market or an ideological commitment from consumers on the one hand...and a set of skills and methodological arrangements that are not common among traditional producers..on the other. They're local, seasonal, most at least sustainable, often certified organic. I'm not entirely sold on the arrangement myself, but, where it can be made to work, obviously, it works. The thing that's really driving it right now is alot of interest at the state level that amounts to financial and organizational assistance. University extensions love it, lol.

You should check and see if there's one in your area, they'd be looking for sign-ups right now.
