00:00:00.060Hello lads, I come bearing a white pill, or perhaps a green pill, or a white green pill, something like that.
00:00:08.620I come bearing a news article at least, so we're reading here on the Telegraph.
00:00:14.640France becomes the first country in Europe to ban all five pesticides killing bees.
00:00:20.280And then we have a highly cute and cuddly bee here that is resting upon this flower.
00:00:26.620So anyway, let's read some in the article before I come with a brief analysis of this happening.
00:00:36.600So, France will take a radical step towards protecting its dwindling bee population on Saturday by becoming the first country in Europe to ban all five pesticides researchers believe are killing off the insects.
00:00:48.660And yeah, without further ado, this is obviously great news.
00:00:52.320I will scroll down a bit in the news article because I'm not going to read the entire thing.
00:00:57.980The ban will exasperate unfair competition with European and non-European producers still allowed to use the pesticides they want.
00:01:07.000And this is obviously completely true.
00:01:09.660If one agent on the free market, so to speak, is adhering to a strict set of rules, he can't compete in price with someone who completely neglects the rules or neglects the decent ethical principles of how to treat humans and mother nature and animals, etc.
00:01:31.580Same thing with clothes, for example, if you look in your own wardrobe, I can guarantee that a majority of clothes will be made by a semi-slave laborer in Bangladesh in a sweatshop there.
00:01:45.680This is regrettable and these big, massive corporations, big clothing corporations, they can get away with it for some reason because people don't think about this fact.
00:01:58.140But I always encourage you to vote with your wallet and recognize that these farmers, for example, now who are taking a hit because it will cost more to treat mother nature with some respect, so to speak.
00:02:12.940So, yes, it will have a negative economic impact upon certain farmers, but we're not liberals here.
00:02:20.500We do not worship the free market as a divine entity.
00:02:26.080We look upon what is reasonable for the environment first and foremost, and then we can look upon what is good in an economic sense.
00:02:34.860So, that is something worth keeping in mind.
00:02:37.580And yes, obviously, this ban will have a negative economic effect, but yet again, we're not liberals.
00:02:43.180We care about mother nature first and foremost.
00:02:47.080So, anyway, I just wanted to share this news item.
00:02:53.140And then, obviously, also shout out tips, pickle-habit, to the yellow vests in France who are keeping up the pressure against the corrupt globalist puppet of Macron.
00:03:05.240But that will be for a separate video.
