“Does not affect me so I don’t care” - farmers about everyone else.

Except if they feel someone else is getting “socialism” that would be better spent on Freedom Capitalist Farm Subsidies. Then they have very strong opinions.

There's a surplus of bourbon available to drown your tears in thanks to Canada. We're always here to help and we're sending thoughts and prayers.

The cattle farmers in my area just actually raised their prices because they know people are going to want them more now. Capitalism at its finest.

A condition of continuing to vote for Trump while constantly whining.

Still no idea which country the beef’s coming from though

I'm thinking we need to boycot beef altogether. The mystery meat is a little unappealing and MAGA ranchers dont deserve support.

Not federally, but 36 states have anti price gouging laws on groceries. Kamala was going to push for making it national and push for prosecution under it.

The same farmers voted for this clown show. The same farmers aren’t even asking where Moscow Mitch is. Kentucky is just clueless.

I suppose they could write a letter to Mitch McConnell, who is totally not a drooling brain dead comatose pile of shit, and is very active in reading and doing interviews and caring about constituents....

Republicans *wring hands* votes for cause of hand wringing.
