one very good thing with honey is, that with quality honey and rigjht storage , honey wont have expiry date. It can stay good 1000 years. So in case of any situation where cant anymore go buying  medicines,  honey can  save the day " maybe'  with it's antimicrobial /antibiotic effect.

many say manuka honey is the most powerfull , but it's not  .....the most powerfull is Australian Jarrah honey , specially the higher TA 40-50  . So basically if wuld have that honey , it will stay ok for a lifetime in proper storage .

i actually ordered 2 jars of Jarrah honey directly from Australia last weekend ,  i hurt my leg in December, got deep wound that is still healing....i buyed the Jarrah honey for the wound, will put it 
as wound dressing to speed up healing.

Almost every single state is a mix of liberals and conservatives, and the spectrum goes from extreme left to extreme right.  There's no single ideology that unites them into a solid core (something like a religion is usually the factor) and there's no way to tell who is who.  I could tell you in person that I was an ultra-conservative (I'm not) and you'd have no way of knowing that I was lying to save my skin (or whatever.)

However, ForeignPolicy.com disagrees with me: https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/02/18/how-civil-wars-start/

An interesting quote from that site: "To make matters worse, as house speaker from 1995-1999, Newt Gingrich innovated a brilliant and democracy-destructive strategy for enabling his party to keep punching above its popular weight in the electorate: Just say no. Whereas Reagan considered someone who agreed with him 80 percent of the time to be a friend (not a traitor), Gingrich’s strategy forbade compromise, which is essential for any working democracy. Either Gingrich got everything he wanted or he refused to play."

tl;dr -- To stop a war, learn to compromise and to work within that compromise.

I'd like to think they were wrong.  A civil war will completely destroy every advance we've made for the past 248 years.  The rest of the world will do just fine, but we'll start seeing the most affluent and the most educated flee the country for other nations.  They'll do better for the influx of our money and our educated but America will fall into decline.

I think we need to focus more on getting along with each other and with trying to NOT have a civil war.

I agree and hope to but this country is full of hate and has been for decades since the 1960's.

Its now generational. I am a Yankee living in the South. As in South Carolina near Columbia. Its rated #1 for corrupt politics. Nickki Haley? I am doing extensive remodeling so I have many former military trades doing work. When they eat their lunch here they get into the rise of the South again via a civil war. They even have a fantasy that Columbia will be the next Washington DC.  Based on other weird things I see with high placed State and Federal workers living in the neighborhood. Who knows.

Let me look into that as I can see the medicinal  benefits. Maduka isnt cheap

A second civil war wont happen, even if you try start it yourself.

The issue with Manuka honey is , once it got popular and is quite expensive there started come fake manuka honey in to markets , so have to really look
it`s real when buying.... Jarrah honey is less known than Manuka and yet more powefull so probably less also less fake Jarrah in the markets.

Seems like Red Gum ( Marri ) is also quite good antimicrobial , TA value ...

If i did understand right ,   the difference between Manuka and Jarrah/Red Gum is that Manuka is antibacterial......and Jarrah/Red Gum is antimicrobial, so it`s more wider spectrum , like against yeast/candida and also antibacterial etc...

Redgum is neither Marri, Jarrah and Karri. the lather three are endemic only to western australia. redgum is also over east. because hives in areas with Jarrah, also have Marri.   redgum is a whole other thing.

But its not just the big trees, smaller flowiring shrubs like bottlebrush are great too.

I'm not able to answer " is that Manuka is antibacterial......and Jarrah/Red Gum is antimicrobial," thisits beyond my knowledge. Sorry.
