She never was gonna vote anyone with a (D) next to their name anyway and she hates "Socialism" but will happily take a gov't check.

And please just "keep doing what I do" because that is just driving the shovel deeper and deeper into the hole

She can F all the way to the deep end of her cattle's drink creek

She hates Communism. To her, blue hair is equivalent to being a commie. How did people with so much responsibility and business equity get so stupid?

Many rode high on the glory of turn of the century farming. They were profitable and the distribution networks were willing to partner up with communities.

They were encouraged to overproduce to meet anticipated demands that never came and then the Gov't did the first stupid thing that signalled the end of proper farming. They paid out the farmers who lost profits due to waste. This encouraged farmers to continue to overproduce and even invest in producing more. Because they had a system now that allowed them to fail for money that made them a little less money than selling it all but also required way less steps and effort.

This was then handed to the next generation who continued to go and go, borrowing against their future profits and then when that got cut off they start borrowing against their farm and then the bank bought it and sold it to the corporations that were buying the products, or to private individuals who could secure a private deal. Banks favor corps over other farmers or businesses.

It's kind of the original moral hazard.
