We own land in Baldwin County Alabama. Our grandparents were farmers, we are not. So for years we leased to someone who did farm. Now we’re turning that land into the longleaf forest it used to be.
What’s technically not true. That banks aren’t lending money to farmers because they are too high risk or that an alternative is to buy Canadian or Mexican food at a higher price? Keep in mind that American farmers rely on subsidies, Mexican labor and Canadian potash to operate
The majority of farmers voted for Trump. They ignored the warnings and voted for the tariff's thinking they would hurt other people, but not them. Complain as they might, they will vote for Republicans again.
No, but there will be tariffs on import. So the produce will be more expensive. But hey, this way there will be room to lower the taxes for companies and rich people.
We are going to need to grow our own food, make our bread & pasta. Look to WWII history of meal preparations now. Start garden plots with friends & family. I’m pulling my Great Aunt’s cookbook from the days of food rationing & the substitutes that they used. It may not be needed in the moment.
I never had a grandmother really. I saw the live one 2x at 3yo & 10 yo. as we crossed the country. She had 16 grandchildren & wouldn’t know me if I passed her on the street. My great aunt never married or had kids. She was all I had, but not GM cuddly IYKWIM. GMs are important to kids.
Canadian here. I'm sorry to hear this due to the personal hardship it will cause families. However, I am also relieved. It will help people see what trump is doing by declaring economic war on is allies is at least as harmful for US citizens.
He could strip them of everything and they would still blame the dems. He's their god and they are fervent devotees who will willingly sacrifice everything for him
I say fuck the farmers if they voted for this 2nd term. It was his trade wars and high tariffs that decimated farmers in his first term. Withdrawing from TPP and then screwing with NAFTA. He then had to bail them out to the tune of $28B. They didn't learn then. What makes anyone think they will now?
With his DoGE nonsense in full gear, usurping Congressional control right now with zero oversight, how long will it be before the Treasury is effectively bankrupt & bailouts cannot even be achieved due to reductions in federal revenue, the direct result of cutting corporate taxes to record lows?

Hitting them in the belly is as harsh a lesson as any, and just may work
They are in complete control now and unless someone uses Pb, there is no going back.
(And) i don't say that lightly.
There’s not a civic minded bone in any of these asshole’s bodies.
