Agriculture isn't nearing trade war tariffs crisis, 'it is full blown crisis already' farmers say
U.S. agriculture isn't nearing a trade war tariff crisis, it's in a 'full-blown crisis already,' farmers say
Farmers showing us that working hard and working smart are clearly two different things. Shame they completely forgot the latter. TFI said “profits!” and those hard workers just assumed he meant theirs. The morons obviously didn’t learn fuckall from his first regime.
So... Trump has scared off the significant numbers of ... well just any kind of immigrant, legal or illegal... farm laborers...
Cancelled a bunch of farmer loan assistance programs...
... And started a tariff trade war that makes it essentially impossible for them to... import needed materiel, export harvests... or even be able to plan for a future scenario with any kind of new established, solid trade paradigm.
... Man we're all gonna starve, fucking great.
EDIT: Do not know how this did not occur to me initially:
American holodomor, anyone?
The farmers should take a page from the European one's book and block the roads. Or even better, drop tons and tons of manure on the White House lawn.
Better yet, Mar a Lago.
Hmm, if farmers had actually listened to their friends and neighbors instead of giant signs bought by the rich, they would have realized that Republicans were using them for their votes, so they could eventually fuck them over and create an environment that would force them to sell their land to corporate farm entities and real estate firms, since you know, they bribed him more.
See, the thing is, they needed farmer votes, and stupid fucking farmers walked right into their trap. Now they don't need farmers anymore, since the plan is to just steal every future election, and now farmers get to figure out what they're really worth to Republicans.
But hey, they got rid of a bunch of immigrants (and legal US citizens) so that most have helped reduce costs for farmers right? And sure, it seems like all they really care about is helping billionaires, but that will somehow end up helping you... In some way... At some time, right? And they kill right to repair acts, so now you have no fucking way to repair your multi million dollar farm equipment unless you want to get screwed. Oh, and they have no problems selling the water rights out from underneath you... Not that it would be that useful, after they've rolled back EPA protections and the ground water becomes too contaminated to use.
No I totally get why farmers love trump. Farming is hard work, now you won't have to do it anymore! All that land you own? It's hard to maintain, so don't worry, they'll just take that from you too!
Hmm, if farmers had actually listened to any educated people
This really comes across like you think farmers are not educated people. Benefit of the doubt that this is not what you intended but you may want to re-write this.
Good point, change made
Make sure to vote republican again you idiots. Just wait until trump takes all that welfare money you get.
If we replaced First past the post voting, Republicans could be free to vote outside the two party system without a spoiler effect. This would spur the creation of new political parties and encourage a competition on who can represent people the best.
Or not vote at all because of being a stupid fucking moron, and also genocide or some shit.
There are still some family owned farms. Can't go back to feudalism without all the family farms going bankrupt and selling out to mega-farm conglomerate corporations.
America’s most farming-dependent counties overwhelmingly backed President-elect Donald Fuckhead in this year’s election by an average of 77.7%. -source
LOL. Fuuuuuck the farmers. Let the ground go back to wilderness.
Don't forget that if anyone from a small town goes and gets a formal education, comes back, and starts pointing out issues and ways to fix them, they get demonized and declared brainwashed by the LiBErAl eLiTe
Something like 80% of young people don’t move farther than 100 miles from home.
FYI, that costs money.
My vendors & customers all have crops rotting in the field right now.
This is the start of the American Holodomir, thanks to the GOP & Putin.
Getting what they voted for yet again.
He’s gonna bail them out and they wont learn their lesson. They need to taste the nasty medicine!
I don't trust individual story headlines on topics that are not individual stories

well fuck them
They should all start dumping mounds of shit on the steps of congress.
And how did those farmers vote?
From the interviews I've been seeing, at least some of them voted against Trump due to concerns about bullshit like this. I expect the majority did vote for him, in which case yes, karma's a bitch. But a) we shouldn't be treating them as a single voting block that all vote the same way, and b) regardless of the schadenfreude we get watching the Trump supporters among them freaking out now, there are grave knock-on effects for consumers looming - including those consumers who didn't vote for Trump.
blaming your fellow citizens will only get a repeat every four years
elites want us blaming each other and not them
It was my fellow citizens that voted for this cunt. They are to blame.
Agreed! Republican voters are KNOWN to Learn Their Lessons! That's why they DIDNT vote for Trump AGAIN after Covid and January 6th and. . .
Guy keeps sticking his keys in a power outlet and gets hurt.
My guy, if you keep sticking your keys in the power outlet, you're gonna hurt yourself.
Blaming the guy's pain on his sticking his keys in the power outlet will only get a repeat of the behavior.
Elites want us blaming each other and not them.
This is true. Just make sure they know whose responsible for screwing them over, and the same people screwed you over, and your kids, and everyone else in the US expect for like 2000 people
