Fuck The Farmers.

[Lazaran]

So I just finished watching an in depth report from PBS Newshour (as one would, because PBS Newshour is the best) about farmers and how much they are suffering from current trade policies & tariffs, etc, and a farmers union rep had the nerve to say farmers are suffering “through no fault of their own”…despite farmers voting OVERWHELMINGLY for DonOld & the MAGAt republicans…

Fuck that ^, Fuck that farmers union rep, Fuck farmers, and Fuck DonOld & the MAGAt republicans.



That is all.



We. Told. Them. So.

 

[Lazaran]

I would add:

Another farmers union rep in that PBS Newshour report said farmers (paraphrasing here) “don’t want to take the BILLIONS in bailout money from DonOld & the MAGAt republicans, but they have no choice”…

Yeah: Fuck the farmers.



We. Told. Them. So.

Cognitive dissonance is alive and well from this PB to the heartlands.

I am like Laz.
I so wanna feel sympathy but I’m tired of having to teach and explain to people what’s to their benefit who prefer hatred over compassion and common sense.

During that PBS Newshour report, the host asked one of the farmers union reps about his support of DonOld & the MAGAt republicans AFTER that union rep just got done complaining about the CURRENT trade situation AND THE PAIN & HARDSHIP CAUSED BY DONOLD’S TRADE WAR WITH CHINA DURING HIS FIRST FAILED TERM, and the POS farmers union rep said something to the effect of: “Well, people voted for DonOld for all sorts of reasons” (reasons like: racism, sexism, bigotry, greed, and plain hatred for anyone who isn’t "them")…



Yeah: Fuck the farmers.

Even worse, huge corporate entities run most farmland

And the working class and working poor disproportionately pay higher costs due to tariffs

I'm waiting for a "Christian" minister or leader to mention what Jesus said about accumulation of wealth. And waiting. And waiting. Apparently my bible has lots of typos and Jesus was pro-billionaire

Sadly, I think you’ll be proven right. There’s a symbiotic relationship between American farmers and the world’s poor and after watching trump blow up snap programs and burn the supplies of USAID, these farmers may just believe Vance that pets are the new crop they should work to sell.

Fair enough; but the CEOs, etc, only get one vote apiece. It’s the masses of small farmers and rural voters who own this looming economic disaster.

Fuck them all.

Kristi Noem could go into the dog (puppy) meat business.

That monstrous bitch has apparently killed enough dogs (puppies) to quality as a dog (puppy) butcher…

Resident: A corporation laid me off to increase profits for its wealthiest stakeholders.

Interviewer: I see.

Resident: Wealthy corporations decimated the rest of my family's farm resources.

Interviewer: I see.

Resident: Local government helped out the wealthy corporations instead of me.

Interviewer: I see.

Resident: National government did the same.

Interviewer: I see. Who do you blame?

Resident: The starving Black people up the street from me.

Interviewer: The ones poorer than you are?

Resident: Yes.

Interviewer: I see.

Support your local small farms. Get a CSA and go to the farmers market.

 

[SkyBubble]

Perhaps we have too many farmers?

We should stop subsidizing them.

 

[heathrowinneo]

Every small business owner that has seen their material costs rise should also be given a handout.

 

[DanOkeffie]

farmers need to sell their farms to corporate America - the days of being a farmer are like the days of being a blacksmith ....

 

[Bn2f]

Left leaning members are describing their disgust with farmers for how they vote.
RW’s are expressing their disgust for farmers.

 

[heathrowinneo]

Selling to agri-corps will help big business and hurt the average American including the farmer who most likely would become indentured servants to the oligarch land owners. Kind of like big tech today.

 

[MajorRewrite]

It’s perfectly reasonable to expect people to accept the consequences of their vote. There’s nothing hateful about that.

 

[SebastianHolt]

Farming is just like any other business. Mom & Pop shops can't compete and should sell

 

[heathrowinneo]

Sure sell the land your prior generations have worked. Receive payment from agri-corp to pay off your mortage(s) and equipment debt. Apply for and work the land you used to own for a sub standard wage. Scrimp and save and try to get by. Apply for medicaid and enjoy the hurdles before you. Work another job to support your family.

Or, maintain trade deals to sell your crops to foreign buyers or US AID.

I was about to submit a nearly identical reply / rebuttal (although I wasn’t going to be quite as civil).

Thanks for saving me the trouble.

Gather your libturds and boycott each and every farm product and farmer ....don't purchase anything a farm produces
Go on puss-for-brains...show them jackass farmers a thing or two.....I know you can do it

Despite Buffy’s weak, punk-ass non sequitur spaz post, I will continue to:

crying farmers
