"Let's go Brandon"
That's terrible!
Who did those farmers vote for?
If only there were some way they could have known this would happen ahead of time and then done something about it!!
Yep I fully expect my job to be impacted by end of summer. Which sucks. But farmers voted for this. All of them iny area are bitching badly about prices right now. but none have done the math on who to blame. They would figure it out quick if a Democrat was in power but right now they seem clueless as to why this is happening
Oh, they've done the math on who to blame. They're just working on the math for how to blame the democrats.
This is why they'll never learn. They never go past step one of thinking.
when the first time farmers was affected in trumps first term, they were hopeful he would come around and save them, most dint survive. and these"farmers" are likely the owners who hire immigrants anyways.
Waiting patiently for thr farmers revolt. Aaaaaaaaannnnnnyyyyyyyy day now.
Now they're crying, what were they thinking when they voted? Instant Karma.
Oh no! If only someone had warned them! Or they'd learned from the last time! When exactly the same shit went down! They couldn't have known!
Damn liberals, next time they will not let a false republican fool then!
First 2-3minutes are worth a watch.

The Strait of Hormuz is not only a shipping route for oil, but also for fertilizers and helium. So things are going to start to get worse before they get better, and the ripple caused by this is slowly starting to hit North America.
Also helium is used in chip manufacturing so DRAM is about to get even a hell of a lot more expensive, then it already is...
Liquid Helium is also vital in cooling the magnets in MRI machines.
Even without helium, magnets are still very cool.
And surgery :(

I wonder who they voted for?
It is fantastic that they voted for this.
Fuck 'em, it's what they voted for.
That's crazy, who could have predicted that Trump would be worse for them!? I know didn't 🙄. But I certainly didn't see endless "MAGA", "I did that!", and "Fuck Biden" signs gleefully hanging everywhere in farming areas...
What is going on with the other 40%? Are theirs is getting better?
There are many different kinds of farms and they all need different inputs. Most impacted would be the corn and soy farms who produce a low value good for a lot of inputs in the form of fertilizer, seeds, sprays, fuel for heavy machinery etc. Least impacted would be beef producers who use wild grazing. Almost no inputs as the land produced the grazing by itself, at the same time they produce a high value good.
Of course there are lots of intermediates but those would be the extremes.
39.9% of the rest are lying. 0.1% are insider trading.
The chaos that comes with a Trump presidency is probably the hardest part for working class people to mitigate. What I mean by that is even with bad federal policies, people/businesses can often adapt reasonably well if they're given enough time and accurate information to plan ahead.
During Trump's last term, there was one year where his / Republican policies devastated the soybean market. It was bad around here. Only the very luckiest soybean growers managed to break even. The rest took heavy losses, some even left their soybeans unharvested that year. Those farmers plan months in advance before even planting a single seed. Only for policies to change underneath them after the plants are already well on their way to maturity.
This time around it's far more chaotic than his first term, which is saying A LOT. Last time he at least had somewhat of an excuse because of the COVID pandemic. This time around, it's 100% due to his own making.
he still had a semi-competent cabinet, plus the houses were still able to pushback against him, this time they are all bootlickers and sycophants right down to the houses.
"Last time he at least had somewhat of an excuse because of the COVID pandemic. This time around, it's 100% due to his own making"
And this time, it'll be worse than COVID. Even better, we'll have even more lovely diseases spreading across the planet. All while a war that didn't need to happen will have escalated to a fever pitch.
All of which was easily preventable, beeteedubs.
covid is still be largely ignored , and people acted like it never existed. but the last years strain was causing much more severe symptoms than usual. and we have to flu getting worst.
