Oh no! If only someone had warned them! Or they’d learned from the last time! When exactly the same shit went down! They couldn’t have known!
Damn liberals, next time they will not let a false republican fool then!
Now they’re crying, what were they thinking when they voted? Instant Karma.
Yeah, but the end result is famine for people who voted against trump.
most of its usually alfalfa crops, or soybeans anyways. nuts, fruits, etc are usually grown in california mostly and citruses too, in florida. anything tropical like coffee, mangoes,etc require tropical countries.
Even worse than that, poorer countries will starve because of this. America is rich. They have the money to pay more for 3rd world food than the locals can, so it’ll be exported to the US instead of feeding the hungry at home. It’ll be the Irish Potato Famine all over again.
And their kids, who are innocent and likely suffering under their parents already.
So what? The US causes famine all over the world whenever it wants to for political reasons. Look what Cuba is going through simply because they won’t change government to what the US wants. If there is any karma, Americans should feel some of the pain they so blithely inflict on others.
Fuck 'em, it’s what they voted for.
The chaos that comes with a Trump presidency is probably the hardest part for working class people to mitigate. What I mean by that is even with bad federal policies, people/businesses can often adapt reasonably well if they’re given enough time and accurate information to plan ahead.
During Trump’s last term, there was one year where his / Republican policies devastated the soybean market. It was bad around here. Only the very luckiest soybean growers managed to break even. The rest took heavy losses, some even left their soybeans unharvested that year. Those farmers plan months in advance before even planting a single seed. Only for policies to change underneath them after the plants are already well on their way to maturity.
This time around it’s far more chaotic than his first term, which is saying A LOT. Last time he at least had somewhat of an excuse because of the COVID pandemic. This time around, it’s 100% due to his own making.
“Last time he at least had somewhat of an excuse because of the COVID pandemic. This time around, it’s 100% due to his own making”
And this time, it’ll be worse than COVID. Even better, we’ll have even more lovely diseases spreading across the planet. All while a war that didn’t need to happen will have escalated to a fever pitch.
All of which was easily preventable, beeteedubs.
That’s crazy, who could have predicted that Trump would be worse for them!? I know didn’t 🙄. But I certainly didn’t see endless “MAGA”, “I did that!”, and “Fuck Biden” signs gleefully hanging everywhere in farming areas…
I wonder who they voted for?
Boo hoo. Farmers are some of the biggest corporate welfare there is.
and some of them are even paid for things not being grown too.
It is fantastic that they voted for this.
If only there were some way they could have known this would happen ahead of time and then done something about it!!
First 2-3minutes are worth a watch.

The Strait of Honduras is not only a shipping route for oil, but also for fertilizers and helium. So things are going to start to get worse before they get better, and the ripple caused by this is slowly starting to hit North America.
Also helium is used in chip manufacturing so DRAM is about to get even a hell of a lot more expensive, then it already is…
And surgery :(
Liquid Helium is also vital in cooling the magnets in MRI machines.
Even without helium, magnets are still very cool.

What did you call me?
Gracias
its getting to the point that its almost not worth the tax dodge!
What is going on with the other 40%? Are theirs is getting better?
There are many different kinds of farms and they all need different inputs. Most impacted would be the corn and soy farms who produce a low value good for a lot of inputs in the form of fertilizer, seeds, sprays, fuel for heavy machinery etc. Least impacted would be beef producers who use wild grazing. Almost no inputs as the land produced the grazing by itself, at the same time they produce a high value good.
Of course there are lots of intermediates but those would be the extremes.
39.9% of the rest are lying. 0.1% are insider trading.
That’s terrible!
Who did those farmers vote for?
Waiting patiently for thr farmers revolt. Aaaaaaaaannnnnnyyyyyyyy day now.
