Bernie's ice cream was a thin top layer of chocolate that you had to crush and spread among the bottom mint ice cream, representing the proles crushing the top 1% and spreading the wealth.

What I'm trying to say is Big Berno 2020.

tap technology has improved and lines now snake tree-to-tree through plastic piping allowing for more trees to be tapped with less effort collecting but the fact remains that if the temperature shifts upward and northern New England has the climate of the Atlantic seaboard states there ain't much gonna be coming out of the trees in march.

I hope I'm wrong.

Maybe this is the real reason why Bernie gets emotional about global warming?

well 20 years is a fairly short period in terms of climate change. if the century predictions are correct tho, the industry may be hosed in the longer term

"The Vermont Agency of Agriculture’s maple specialist says the number of taps in trees in Vermont has jumped from a million about 15 years ago to nearly 5 million now."

i dont think its actually going away, lol

It's a climate thing as Joe points out (that huge jump in tree taps is in large part due to a massive new operation that just went in this season in Island Pond, formerly best known for tar heroin coming down from Canada in the 90s and the shoe cult). You need actual winter to get the trees ready and then a consistent period of below freezing nights but above freezing days to get the sap to run.

Yeah, if the winter is too warm and the spring not right maples don't make their sap the way required to make syrup. The trees make starches over the winter, and as it gets warm they convert it back to sugar. The male syrup people here in WNY have been having a hard time these past couple years.

I also wish Bernie was a socialist

As fun as it is to joke about full luxury gay weed space socialism, that's never happening in America. Individualism is strongly rooted in the culture and getting rid of that would be a complete sea change in what it means to be "American". Bernie's democratic socialism position is much more tenable because he doesn't reject capitalism outright, he just says it shouldn't gently caress people over. You can be super rich, you shouldn't just be able to use that status to make people die in the gutter. The trick is you ask for luxury gay weed space communism and settle for democratic socialism.

Hell, look at Warren. She's a big figure not because she thinks there needs to be a huge overhaul in how government works, but because she thinks that the rules that are already in place should actually apply to everyone, even rich people and to big to fail companies.
