epicstove@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•American woman sings national anthem in Spanish; receives death threats from terrorists.English4·3 days agoGenuinely that’d be a crazy response. Compile the threats together, make them into a song, sing it in Spanish.
It was a typo but honesty, I think it fits perfectly so amma keep it.
Iirc they imported Corn from the US since it was cheap. But corn is a odd crop, it’s difficult to digest especially for the Irish who weren’t accustomed to the crop. So it provided minimal nutrition for the Irish.
This was framed as “Look, we give them food and they’re still starving! We’re wasting money, giving it to the Yanks, all for nothing! This is clearly god punishing the Irish for their sin!”
I don’t remember the exact responses by different groups in Parliament, infect Peel was probably wasn’t ass harmful as the others.
Although, I think it’s funny to know that the British PM at the time was named Peel.
epicstove@lemmy.cato Science Memes@mander.xyz•More like a bacterial infection imoEnglish431·9 days agoThe Irish potato famine wasn’t exclusive to Ireland. It actually first appeared in the US and spread to Europe.
The issue was, unlike other nations, the Irish ONLY had potatoes as all other crops were cash crops for tax.
The British government could have 100% minimized the damage. But they didn’t.
Good Job PM Peel. You fucked up.
So just abandon them instead of getting our government to actually invest in these places to make them less poor?
Thr own I used to live in wasn’t much different to these isolated communities. But they received investment and it grew.
The only difference with those communities is they’re indigenous.
Keep in mind, much of that space is uninhabited wilderness, or very sparsely spread rural communities.
A lot of them are indigenous communities too which are usually very poor sadly.
The Michigan/mid-west accent is straight up the stereotypical Canadian accent lol.

Okay Jesus, I think that’s just someone at discord smoking something.
I was in Switzerland and the trains there are incredible. Even the tiniest village in buttfucksburg, nowhere has a train connecting it to the rest of the country.
