    You forgot the next step. After losing their farm to trumps policies they blame democrats for it. You literally can’t make this shit up.

    You used almost slave labour in the form of migrants workers, and paid them in government money so you could continue to be a farmer and not have to sell up to some multinational agri-corp.

    But then you voted for trump because other people said foreigners were taking your job, and because your a fucking gormless mouth breather.

      If people had just kept their mouth quiet, stuck their nose up and voted blue, they could still to this day happily be exploiting poor foreigners in slave like conditions. Trump has ruined America!

      But the Democrats want to tie government funding to responsible environmental practices like reducing nitrogen fertilizer runoff and manure leaks, and they might mandate slightly less inhumane conditions for animals in feed lots. The horror! /s

    A coworker was just complaining to me about “Biden’s Bullshit” for the reason his utility bill is massive. He lives in Florida. I used to live in Florida and now Oregon. Oregon has regulations because it’s not a shit hole state.

      do they have ai datacenters there, i wouldnt be surprised if the electric bill is higher too. Florida is going under water, plus so much invasive species there, because of illicit exotic pet/plant trade.

        About 20 years ago, I wrote a mobile app for a company that surveys power lines all over the rural South and cuts away trees and vegetation that threatens the lines. In most places, the landowners are compensated for any trees that have to be cut down, with a variable scale that pays more the rarer the tree is. This has created a cottage industry where landowners plant all sorts of exotic shit directly under the power lines as a guaranteed cash crop. It’s certainly an under-appreciated source of invasive species.

    Part of the reason why some farmers voted for trump (not the majority but some) was that american workers would consider farm jobs beneath them, and both americans and undocumented workers could always transfer to other jobs / farms if the conditions were unfavorable. Instead, they want to drive workers towards H2A visa to create modern slavery where workers have their pasports taken, are beaten and their families threatened by American companies

    Trump rolled back protections for these workers earlier this year

      they just want to Pay them less, and no benefits. so they can reap in all the profits. plus its also harder to exploit a citizen, because they will start reporting the farm owners for unfavaroable conditions, or bring the press(news) on them, plus they would ask for benefits and a higher wage, which they deserve. migrant workers arnt going to do this.

      also the fact that other jobs pay better, and its not brutal on the body. even places like walmart, target,or some warehouse, or grocery store workers have better pay and not working brutal hours/physicial labor.

    I’m surrounded by MAGA Idiots and farmers and part of me can only laugh at them while the other part of me is sad Vance will win by scooping up their farms on acretraders.

        they vote for the same thing, because they are hoping to get rescued everytime they get screwed over, the gop does this to test the waters, so eventually they dont bail people out. this how the farmers think.

    Those family farmers are all millionaires. They want those tax cut plus the socialist policies that made them rich. They wanted to screw everyone over while they got richer.

        The media always tries to push the narrative about “family farms” hurting without pointing out that it’s almost exclusively wealthy people that always vote GOP that expect both parties to give them handouts no matter what.
