'I've Never Seen Anything Like It': Trump Policies Leave US Farmers in Dire Straits
'I've Never Seen Anything Like It': Trump Policies Leave US Farmers in Dire Straits | Common Dreams
Sure you have, it was called Trump's first term.
Day took or slaves!
Yo. Matt & Trey need that tagline. It's great (aside from the typo)
Particularly galling after he promised to leave them INXS.
Yeah God I feel so sorry for these Trump loving people. I really really hope that these leopards don't continue to eat so many faces. Leopards are going to get full pretty soon!
What do we do in the face of dumb ignorant sluts?
We laugh. We try to love.
Farting works as a last resort.
No we don't try to love them anymore we admit they're ignorance and the fact that they hate so much that love doesn't make a difference. What
Good, let them suffer
Youafe your bed of hell, now sleep in it you fuckers
Instead of suffer, let's make them laugh at themselves.
The entire Ruzzian agenda is to turn America against itself, so it's weak at the knees ...
78% of top farming counties voted for Trump and his clearly defined policies less than a year ago, so I fail to understand the complaints.
If they wanted cheap migrant farm labor and global markets to buy their goods, they should have supported another candidate for President loudly and overwhelmingly.
As a result, farmers can raise what they pay to entice American labor and sell their soybeans cheaper domestically. If they didn't do the math to determine if their politics were profitable, they can relinquish the businesses they mismanaged, and better people/companies can take over the land or it can return to nature.
Cheap healthy plant protein, more intelligent replacement farmers, and/or less factory farming dumping nitrates in the Gulf seems like a win for everyone but those who willingly chose this path.
Domestic demand for soybeans seems pretty scant. And usually it's Asian communities that use it for tofu, or soybean drinks
Supply has increased and prices have fallen. Demand should be induced. The first likely customers will be ultra processed food manufacturers as an ingredient, but let's see if Americans have the neuroplasticity to adapt.
If they can't, they can stop whining about rising food prices and go hungry. They might even have to have to be normal weights.
Farmers are generally some of the most intelligent and practical people, excellent at business.
Sadly they let their emotions take over for some reason and lost all mental capacity when it comes to politics.
They overwhelmingly voted to cut their revenue while increasing their costs and are now crying for a government bailout. These actions are the very definition of being bad at business. Lacking the reasoning to understand that deporting illegal immigrants when you rely on their labor also indicates they are of below average intelligence, a fact backed up by IQ studies of professions.
Manbaby who bankrupts 5 casinos can't manage federal government. More at 10.
Manbabyman, baby-fucker,
FTFY
Despite his troubles, Maxwell remains supportive of Trump, saying that he is “going to be patient,” adding, “I believe in our president.”
Jesus Fucking Christ.
That's the exact same message the first time trump did this in 2017
What a cuck.
They haven't learned, they won't learn, and they will never learn.
The only way they’ll learn is when they die from Trumps policies.
Morons are rarely self reflective or the dildo of consequences rarely arrives with lube.
I love that the farmers in this article are complaining about being destroyed by climate change. Which doesn't exist according to Trump and will not be even slightly fixed, but made much worse by his policies. But it doesn't matter, because the trade war the big baby started will put the farmers out of business even faster than climate change ever could.
The levels of stupidity are mind blowing.
Climate change? No, that can't be it. One person in the article points out that:
“The weather is in the control of a higher power"
Exxon?
Damn bro that's crazy, maybe don't elect a psychopath next time
What is this "next time" you are talking about?
Could be worse, could have left them in Limp Bizkit
I guess they can pay the bills installing microwave ovens.
What if we stopped growing so many soybeans for export, and instead grew crops to feed human people in the United States? I know I know, it’s crazy talk.
Historically it's because the soybean market is growing soy and selling it to China. I think the US demand for soybeans for human consumption is met by US production. You'd have to create a lot of demand to make soybeans worth growing if they aren't selling overseas
Jesus christ. He's not your friend, you poor bastards, he's selling you to the corporations! He's doing their bidding!
Everyone of these racist pieces of shit need to go bankrupt. Let these terrible people live on the streets.
I've always spoke out about corporations. I hate big corps. I have always wanted to get big corps out of running farms.
Fuck it! Hey Tyson, hurry up and buy up every fucking meat farm out there. Bill Gates, buy up whatever is left! Make these fuckers that inherited their pappa's farms have to work the land after selling it. I don't fucking care about them anymore.
Imagine your family hands down a farm for generations and you fucking sell it to Purdue and they make you continue working on it for starvation wages
😭how could the liberals do this?
Good.
Suffer.
Really wish it were more than just farmers.
It is and will be. This is just a hot topic right now.
Hot topic now because it's harvest time. Wait until the spring when none of these farmers have the money to plant anything...
The difficulties won't be limited to Trump voters, unfortunately.
Haven't seen it since the last time they voted for him to do the same thing. Hope the racism and lib-owning was worth it. Have the day you voted for!
