Summary
Federal funding cuts under Trump, including a $500 million program for food banks to buy local produce, are hitting rural communities like Rainelle, West Virginia, especially hard.
Dairy producer Trey Yates lost a key contract with Mountaineer Food Bank, threatening his business. Similar stories emerged from other small farmers relying on USDA grants now eliminated.
West Virginia, where Trump won 70% of the vote, relies on federal funds for over half its state budget.
Critics warn cuts will deepen poverty, strain schools, and devastate local agriculture-dependent economies.

You were warned… You did it anyway.
It’s what you wanted… It’s what you got.
Suck on it. And choke.
I’ve no sympathy for you suffering the results of your stupidity.

I’m not happy they brought us all down with them. I’d rather there be less suffering than more, even if they are stupid.
My folks live out in the rural Midwest and even they think the rural community gets what they voted for.
May they have the day they voted for.
“Hey, rural conservative voters. Here’s what his track record is, and here’s what he’s *actually * admitted he’ll do. The policies will harm you and your families. Voting Republican would be like shooting yourself in the foot.”
*rural voters blast off entire foot with 12 ga. shotgun*That sounds like a double whammy to piss of voters. They definitely act as if future elections wont matter anymore.
“Ripple”
That’s a big misnomer, there. How 'bout those egg prices, Karen?
Too bad they can’t read.
