      Thank goodness we’ve densified cities and increased their populations drastically, certainly nothing can go wrong with a single point of failure, people who live in cubicles with no land will just grow some weeds on their windowsill and survive that way.

    All the farms around me are proud MAGA and some still have their ugly flags up still. I refuse to support any of them, but my neighbors will. I don’t hope for ill will since so much food will go to waste, but sometimes the only way MAGA people understand is when it hits their wallet and HARD.

    It’s not even funny or ironic at this point. I feel sad these people are in our society. I feel sad that in the back of my mind there is a thought that the world would be better without them in it. This horrid thought is that our quality of life in this world could be increased by a systematic euthanization along party lines, goodbye MAGA, etc.
    These are Hitler ideas, but I can’t form a rebuttal against them because it feels like a legal defense for literal evil (deranged pedophile greed worshipping control freaks).

      I’m a little bit sad about the same thing, but I think I’ve gotten over it.

      The thing is, these people don’t want some other people to have the right to exist. That disqualifies them from having the right to exist, and so removing them from existence so that everybody else can live peacefully is okay.

    Farmers: Good thing Daddy Trump loves me or else he’d be hurting me, my family, and the country a lot more. I better vote for him again, so he knows to be on my side next time.

    The situation echoes the 2018-2020 trade war, during which U.S. agriculture lost $26 billion, with nearly $20 billion in soybean losses alone. Soybeans accounted for 71% of agricultural losses experienced by American farmers during that earlier conflict.

    Despite acknowledging that he believes Trump “loves farmers” and is “trying to do what’s right for this country,” he emphasized the need for immediate action: “We gotta make sure that we survive through these tough times.”

    Friends… nothing is changing.

    China’s smart to redirect purchases to Brazil so aggressively. If they want to create political pressure, it’s effective… But I think they underestimate political loyalty to whatever Trump’s doing these days.


    CCP, if you’re reading this, go after the rich guys’ pockets. Trust me, that will create pressure overnight.

    Yes, technically, because I’m guffawing so hard it physically hurts.

    I don’t feel bad for those immorally underpaying and abusing the desperate and undocumented (maybe the vast majority of them?), but I kinda do for those who weren’t. It’s not so black and white, sometimes people are just more stupid than they are evil and fall for low level propaganda. We should strive to build a world that’s a bit more foolproof, IMO.

      Immigrant labor abuse depends on what you’re farming. Corn and soybeans are ridiculously well automated and only need a few people to run hundreds of acres.

      Anything else? Needs teams of workers, and of course those are going to be abused immigrants.

    Trump pulled this shit first time around. This is China Trade War 2.0. They had all the time in the world to think on their vote.

      They don’t think. They’re told how to think by the billionaire propaganda machine, and by an evangelical pedophile every Sunday.
