All this winning is getting exhausting
“In the last 14 months, five of my customers have committed suicide. That’s how serious this is,” said another Arkansas farmer who also works as an ag equipment financier.
Fuck, that's rough. Guess we're gonna get dragged even more into corporate farms
I bet nearly all of them will continue voting Republican (or just stop voting altogether).
... And Trump will look down, and whisper:
No.
There's an actual prayer at the end of that article.
Edit: nm, it was quoting a prayer from one of the farmers at the meeting
I feel for the odd person who isn't a maga muppet in that group. The rest just need to learn how to use that dildo they asked for in the election. Slide that bad boy right in you dumb sonsabitches.
They watered their crops with librul tears and are now complaining that someone salted the earth. May they learn to actually think about what their vote will accomplish.
“Struggling Arkansas farmers” or MAGA bootlickers that fucked up and voted for a shifty, no-good, greasy, New York sidewinder because of some-dick complex? #fuckaroundandfinout #youdonefoundoit #gofuckyourself
Look at all these socialists!
Shame on you! If those poor ~~kids~~ facists could read they would be very upset!
Trump won Arkansas with 64% of the vote. May they get the day they voted for.
“In the last 14 months, five of my customers have committed suicide. That’s how serious this is,” said another Arkansas farmer who also works as an ag equipment financier.
Jesus Christ.
Hmm, when Trump's treason and corruption can no longer be denied, maybe we'll have an epidemic of MAGA suicides. Too bad they ended funding for suicide hotlines.
Too bad they ended funding for suicide hotlines.
I forgot about that. IIRC, Canada had setup some new hotline to help Americans or something along those lines.
I'll send some thoughts and prayers (since I can't afford much else these days)
It’s already a very poor area, I can’t imagine anything looking more bleak than an entire lifetime of work slip away. What is your purpose after that?
Racism and blaming anyone but yourself, obviously
Hope they don't get a fucking dime. Cant vote to fuck the country then ask for handouts from the blue states when it does.
Fuckem. Reap what you sow, assholes.
Not just the country, but literally themselves
People act like these guys are going to get left out in the cold. In Trump's first term when his trade war with China fucked over the soybean farmers the government bailed them out.
It's only gonna get worse. We're heading towards dustbowl 2.0.
I haven't been wanting to say it, but it's crossed my mind several times over summer.
There's a reason I've been stocking up on non-perishables
With tariffs and aluminum, plus the rotting food on farms, that's all the more reasons to do this. I bought eight cans of tomatoes recently and probably as many beans, with the intention of more
FEMA Agriculture assistance while supplies last. Maybe vote blue next time.
Didn’t Trump say he was shutting down FEMA because the states could do a better job on their own? So let Arkansas figure out how to bail them out this time.
What's the over/under that Arkansas farmers actually learn from this and stop voting Republican?
Zero, that level of rational thought makes them understand how fucked they are, at which point they kill themselves. Or sell the farm to a megacorp while they're still above water on their loans
And I'm not joking about the suicide thing. There's suicide hotline programs specifically for farmers realizing they're going to lose everything, which of course have been cut
In the 00s my uncle was in a position where Monsanto was suing him for not holding up his end of the contract, because he had a bad crop year. Anyway, my grandparents bailed him out by financing a lawyer who settled for him, and it really didn't fix the problem at all. He still lost his farm, my grandparents were no longer wealthy because they kept trying to help him, and the uncle died a couple years later to cancer (probably driven by stress). They bailed him out because they were afraid he'd kill himself over the farm, and it took him out anyway
Monsanto
Cancer
Hmm. Seems possibly related.
Very sorry to hear about your uncle.
I have no idea if he used protective gear when applying it, which certainly could have increased his exposure. I would love to blame Monsanto, but most of the family carry the risk genes for this cancer too, and as yet his children are cancer free. Their babies though, not so much
Damn, that's rough. Monsanto are fucking demons, honestly? Solid chance they were making him use some product that causes cancer. Either way, the whole industry is horrible, sorry your family went through that
Never gonna happen
screw them Trump boot lickers
This is a tragedy! Monsanto won't be able to squeeze them for more money if they go out of business! Think of the large corporations!
Monsanto will just buy their farms for pennies on the dollar
Monsanto was bought out by Bayer a whole back. It no longer exists.
Since Bayer is a larger company with more leverage against farmers, they are squeezing them harder than Monsanto ever dreamed of.
They could self deport and get a cool thousand dollars !
Hundreds of farmers ask struggling federal government to save them.
Fuck no you get nothing!
lol no
lol, get wrecked nerds
