I can't speak for this lady, but farming is expensive. There are tons of unnecessary challenges that are expensive to overcome (e.g., no right to repair on John Deere, seeds/genetic lines owned by Monsanto, etc.). Essentially, if I recall correctly most farming operations require tons of subsidies to continue existing. This woman's political beliefs are against her own interests and are terrible, but the money the U.S. gives the farmers is more about our system being broken than problems with the farmers.

This woman voted against her own interests. If she loses her farm, I won't feel bad for her. I do feel bad for farmers in general, and I don't begrudge them their subsidies in many cases because of the way the system is set up. I think John Oliver has one or two episodes on farming. If you haven't looked into it, I think that's a great place to start.

Perhaps I misinterpreted.

Yeah, I have days like that with my children. They're called every day. I feel bad for his kids if he's making specific days for it because he can't do it the rest of the year. An aunt, uncle, grandparent, fine--make a day of it. They don't have the responsibility usually.

The left doesn't advertise their gun ownership or preparedness the way the right does. Also, if society breaks down, firearms might be useful, but the ability to source food, clean water, medical attention, and safe temperatures will probably be even more important.

They can pry my butter churn from my cold, dead, and greasy hands.

Too true!

Assassination is not going to work. The line of succession is pretty shitty.

This is why calling them weird was sort of effective. It's not a fact, it's an opinion. Now, I think it's a widely held opinion, but the point is it wasn't something they could argue with. It was sort of playing the game they've been playing.

Pie are round. Cornbread are square!

Also, does this mean the president of the former USA will be punished for his crimes? I'm not familiar with Finnish law, but it has to be better than ours.

This was my hope, too!

I accept Finland's terms. Now that I'm a Finnish citizen, I would like to move to the country proper.

Then, he's a moron and he deserves to be bilked out of his money. Fuck him.

Yes, I have one of those 2-in-1 belt cutter and window hammers.

What does that entail? They will only air what they want.

Nah. No one would mourn him. The next ultra rich person would learn from his mistakes, but continue on with his work.

Reminds me of The Yuyu.

Yes, but even that is divided, and still contingent on usefulness.

I bet this is it! I'm going to install some in my house and see what happens. Pray for me!

Discriminating when it will be helpful will be the challenge for most people. Better ask an AI bot when it will be useful!

We won't have to walk to work. We'll live in little huts on the plantation where we work off our debts.
