Colorado ranchers, processors have a beef with advocacy groups over perceived environmental impacts of meat production
(Hugh Carey, The Colorado Sun)A retail store is also on-site where customers can buy beef, pork, lamb and other meats offered by the ranches. But other grower-owned processors and retailers that allow ranchers to cut out the middleman in Colorado are few and far between. Colorado is home to 13,000 beef cattle producers and 206 feedlots, all of which are served by 24 USDA certified slaughter plants, according to the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. (Hugh Carey, The Colorado Sun)LeValley is among meat producers who are largely backing a Congressional bid to allow small and midsize meat processing facilities to expand their operations. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, along with other agriculture groups, has fought against claims that beef producers are a detriment to the environment, noting that beef producers in the United States are already the global leader in sustainable beef production.

This world could be so beautiful, if only
It is haunting, as is the rampant antisemitism and Islamophobia the Middle East conflict has exacerbated in America’s not-so-united states. I could go on listing frustrations: The lives of gay and transgender children and parents upended by homophobic grown-ups elected to public office. Ron DeSantis’ draconian new laws, designed to fuel the fascist platform of an ambitious presidential run and party off-the-rails. “I’ve lived a good life and will survive the times. My unsolicited advice for New Year 2024: Open the window and see — with eyes and heart — how beautiful this world could be ... if only.

A proportional representation system can break Bangladesh’s current political deadlock: Prof Tofail Ahmed
A proportional representation system can break the regular deadlock of boycotts and calls for a caretaker government that Bangladesh sees in the run-up to elections, says Prof Tofail Ahmed. A video of the interview is available on bdnews24.com’s Facebook and YouTube pages. “If you change the system to PR, proportional representation, then the type of majority the BNP had - by getting less than one percent majority compared to the Awami League – would not happen. They ruled, but it would not have happened [under proportional representation]. They would have got 93-96 seats if it is proportional because in the proportional system every vote counts.”

New home sales nationwide plunged in November. Here's where home sales are headed in Nebraska
New home sales in the US dropped in November as mortgage rates slowly retreated from their highest levels this year. Sales were up just 1.4% from a year ago.

Typical mortgage rates reached their highest levels in 23 years – hitting 7.79% for a 30-year, fixed-rate loan – and have been coming down since. Check out these charts to see where home sales are trending in Nebraska.
