Have they tried budgeting or making coffee at home?
Don't any of these people have bootstraps?!
This is the Find Out stage.
Keep voting red you stupid fuckers.
I can't wrap my head around how some of them can be so hateful and intolerant when they are the true soy boys.
Farmers will sell their land to someone with more money.
More consolidation is what this country needs. /s
Oh NO! ALL they wanted was to be able to Kill Black Kids on their Driveway! They DIDNT know it would Effect their WALLETS too!
Oh no! If only there had been some way for farmers to know this was going to happen! Like Trump telling them it was going to happen! Or every economist in the country warning it was going to happen! Or Trump doing the same thing in his first term! WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN???
It still amazes me that they are surprised. They lived through it the first time. It wasn't fake news It was their own reality.
It means they're going to ask the FDA for as waiver on how long they can keep it and how much can rot before it all has to be tossed.
Ie. Food will just be less safe
Great depression 2.0 is here. These morons got ~~Hoovered~~ Trumped and now we'll get to see farmers setting soybeans on fire to collect insurance instead of feeding people.
It's not a dire situation for the people who want his land.
Yeah exactly. Big agribusiness will scoop these family farms up at very cheap prices. Follow the money.
WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPENING. AGAIN. AFTER HE CAMPAIGNED ON LITERALLY THE SAME THING THAT CAUSED THIS THE FIRST TIME.
They can always blame Biden (Joe or Hunter), Obama, or trans people! 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Oh no.
The consequences of your own voting.
Just like Canada is, China is specifically targeting people who voted red and I have zero sympathy. In fact, I applaud them in this instance.
Every one of these people had more than 8 years to see what Trump was like before voting.
It’ll probably be hard for them to buy some tarifer potash and fertilizer next year after their reduced sales this harvest, but it’s what they wanted.
The biggest purchaser of soy and corn was the US govt, which purchased it for foreign aid.
Well the farmers voted GOP because they opposed all that foreign aid, so Trump removed it.
This isn't even a "I never thought leopards would eat MY face" this is more "I specifically asked for my face to be eaten by leopards".
What's that you say? Soybeans are a complimentary crop for corn, and those same soybean farmers will now have to carry this utter loss into corn planting season? I wonder how many farmers fail this season and don't plant next season.
Have the day you voted for.
Liberals become wishy washy and lose elections
Let GOP get in charge
GOP destroys the export economy
Americans are all now forced to eat mointains of feminizing soy
The secret long term plot against conservatives to turn them all gay and trans is almost complete!
Fuck these dipshits, they ALL voted for this. Let them all suffer deeply for their stupidity. I hate this timeline where morons are running the show everywhere.
Rice and beans, friend. And you got lots of beans to eat.
Man is racism expensive.
Farmers:
Votes for Trump
Loses business because of Tariff backlash
Gets bailed out
Votes for Trump two more times
Loses business because of Tariff backlash
Who could have seen this coming?
Turns out fascism is bad for international trade. If only anyone could've seen that coming. 🙄
Tough shit and the fuckers voted for this disaster. The corporate farms are going to be buying a lot of cheap family farms.
I was about to suggest that maybe not all farmers voted for trump and thus they may not deserve the financial hardship, then I read this
"Despite his support for Trump, Ragland has become increasingly vocal about the need for immediate trade resolution. “We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. “We wanna encourage the administration to get a proactive trade deal done.”
lol, gfy.
Hoping these mf divas get exactly and specifically what what they voted for.
Seems like a good time to be a tofu producer.
Just like every other time a GOP president fucked american farmers there will be a "save the farmers" bill passed that will allow agri businesses to profit and some of the smaller farms will be bought out by large companies and the fuckwit voters will cheer for Trump saving farmers from the evil foreigners.
That’s ok, you don’t have anyone to harvest them anyway.
