  9. RE: mastodon.social/@joewo/1172134

    This video came across my feed just before this post, and I could not help but put them together for y'all.

    Now, here's the thing. We can all agree that #farmers are the beneficiaries of all the social programs we've enacted as a country. And we can all agree that they voted against their own interests.

    But the important thing, and I keep stressing this over and over, is that there IS GOING TO BE A FOOD CRISIS IN AMERICA. It's going to be bad. I am not a prepper in the traditional sense, but I really don't want to be Cassandra when this all happens. Please believe me when I tell you that ag futures and climate predictions on top of the labor problem means that #crops are not getting picked, and that means #food is going to be scarce, with a government that will not help.

    If you can #stockpile things which can help other people, like dried beans, nut butters, rice...it's not a bad idea to get a Quaker pantry going. I really fear what could come.

  27. "Farmers have been hit so hard by the tariffs that Trump was forced to give them a $12B bailout... only necessary because #China retaliated against the #tariffs by refusing to buy #American agricultural products. #Trump had to give #farmers a $20B bailout for the same reason during his 1st term. This is classic #Trumponomics: create a problem, announce a partial fix that leaves everyone **worse** off than where they started, & declare victory."
