Some of the most compelling conspiracy theories aren't about cloning and time travel, but laundry soap and mattress stores.

I am a farmer and prices for our commodities in the US have been depressed for 1/2 a decade now, with no end in sight. The USDA releases monthly reports on acres planted, projected yield, stocks of grains, etc. My theory is that the USDA makes these numbers up to manipulate the commodities markets to keep the prices at a level that encourages export. We had terrible yields and the

The whole world is just made up of ordinary people who are barely able to do their jobs right.
