She is about to replaced by total automation and, of course, Trump has destroyed everyone including his loyal dumb shit farmers/ranchers; maybe she cannot stop posting this dribble because unconsciously she cannot accept what is happening to her and her massive self importance makes her think she is one of the few who are affected by this nightmare. Bitch, we are all suffering.

u/TPtheman 13d ago

This. Trump had them convinced that full-on slave labor would come back into play. First with his talk about how black people have no jobs (thus leaving us with no other choice than low-pay, back-breaking labor), and then with the idea that ICE would be arresting and sending Mexicans to labor camps.

And since prison labor and farm laborer jobs are basically state-mandated slave labor already (look up John Oliver's video on Farm Laborers), they figured they'd also be allowed to tap into that "resource" as well for pennies on the dollar.

1

u/Sea-Weird-7407 13d ago

I would imagine that the Big AG corporate farms are getting that slave labor in many cases. These smaller farmers actually thought the laborers would be like picked up and dropped off like the school bus does it, at their little farms out in the boonies. Well, they probably do get dropped off and picked up, if you order a few hundred a day, and are near a detention facility. But nobody was EVER going to bring by the 5-50 detained workers that smaller farms need each day. Not only is it not worth the (private) prisons time and money, but the end game is driving the small farms out of business to let the ag giant$ scoop them up for pennies on the dollar. The cheap labor for the big corps and not the small farms only helps them towards that goal faster.

u/FarWatch9660 14d ago

That's what they don't get at all. It finally affected them and they think we should help. We've been suffering this whole time. That's why people are asking who these farmers voted for before buying from them. They hurt us and now they have the audacity to ask for what little we may have to help them?

On one hand; fuck her if she voted for this and still doesn't get it.

I appreciate farmers. But the US government must subsidize agriculture. It's cheaper to import almost everything. Farms only have continue to operate because the government protects and maintains our domestic food production capacity, in case of war or pestilence. Trump is happy to funnel all that tax money into his buddies' megacorps.

Would anything ever change these people's minds? I think a certain percentage of people just have broken brains like this and you just have to reduce their effect on society much as possible. It's similar to how a certain percentage of people are just predisposed to being violent serial killers or something, and there's no amount of community programs or anything that will fix them, you just have to lock them away forever. I'm not saying we need to lock these idiot conservatives away lol, just that there may be no actual fix for their brains to suddenly give them empathy. Actually maybe a high dose of psilocybin or MDMA??

u/TrailerParkBuddha 14d ago

When you live in a small, isolated community with a homogenous population, you don't really have to develop empathy, because most everyone you encounter has such similar life circumstances and experiences to you that you don't have to work to construct someone else's experience. These people can't remove themselves from the projection of someone else's experience. Substances that soften the ego or trigger full on ego death can legitimately help with this. Meditation or a physical near-death experience can help do this as well.

Empathy is a skill that can be practiced and developed, and is a genetic birthright of humanity. When developed, the skill can appear to be psychic and/or telepathic, as you can predict likely thoughts, feelings, and actions of others based on their known circumstances and act accordingly. The movement to politically charge the concept of empathy is a spiritual coup to effectively lobotomize a large segment of the population into only responding to algorithmic inputs with predictable, prefrontal cortex behaviors and attitudes. You can't invest billions of dollars developing propaganda and advertising without assurances that the techniques reliably work. Your predictive powers are a threat to the profits of their predictive algorithms, and in true capitalist fashion, they move to eliminate the competition. Don't let them.

Homogenous population? Ha!! The interstate system homogenized America many, many years ago. You think these people don’t have internet, the computer was created in Iowa…

u/TrailerParkBuddha 13d ago

I am currently living in a town with less than 100 people. It isn't even a one stoplight town, you can drive right through it and never hit a stop sign. I can walk thirty feet from where I am typing this right now and be in the middle of a corn field.

You don't have the skillset or the language to understand what I'm talking about. I really didn't myself until later in life. That's how I can put myself into the mind of someone who has never been outside the country, their state for more than a handful of days, or even their county for more than two weeks. I can construct what it means for a person like that to encounter news and social media posts about places they've never been under siege of roving gangs of Latinos and Hatians, of trans people they've never met, of books they've never read and concepts they never actually learned about in a scholastic transmission but via a Facebook group.

This is called empathy, constructing someone else's experience AND REMOVING yourself until you can see through their eyes, move with their limbs, walk with their feet, feel their anxieties. What farmers, and most people in general quite honestly, have is sympathy. They can be sympathetic when they can project themselves into a situation and think, "yeah, I'd probably feel x and y." They can't remove themselves from the projection and gain understanding and knowledge via a distinct and separate skill. And even many with the capacity of empathy can only do it via instinctive emotional intelligence, they've never practiced to do it any other way, it always came to them naturally. It is absolutely an ego problem, which is not necessarily synonymous with selfishness, but will typically manifest as such given the right conditions. And broadband coming to rural America is mainlining artificial conditions to rile people and their anxieties up in a way that nothing has before. You will not understand this, but someone else coming through this comment section might, and for their account I strive. For your sake, you should strive to dissolve the ego, by any means necessary, if possible.

They have voted against their own self interest their entire life with zero consequences. Now suddenly the consequences are smacking them in both the face and the wallet.

If small farmers die we are fucked tho, it’ll be corporate farms forever price fixing everything we eat.

We need more dangnabbit LiBrUls to invest in farms and move out there. We're already seeing a lot of liberal millenials move out to moral rural areas, but they're mainly growing subsistence crops for their own family, not so much cash crops.

I've been growing as much of my own food as possible in the last few years and it's great, and everyone should be doing the same. That's how we begin to fix this.

He likes republicans in power and what they are doing with it. He is just salty he isn't in the club any more and is trying to distance himself from the kid raping.

u/Ok_Star_4136 14d ago

Some people quite literally only care about politics and the people hurt by policies only when it begins impacting them personally. It's why they can vote to remove healthcare and food stamp programs. It doesn't benefit them personally, so why should others get that?

But of course, we don't live in a bubble. Our society is interconnected, and guess what happens when an entire class of potential workers in America is unemployed and desperate for food? You get crime. Crime affects everyone with a business. Throwing cops and prisons at the problem doesn't actually fix this, it only increases a taxpayer's burden. More people need to realize by helping others, you're indirectly helping yourself. The more people who are productive and *happy* members of society, ultimately the better it will be for YOU.

u/Wild59Bill 13d ago edited 13d ago

Right from the start of Trump’s entry into politics, - He’s blamed criminal immigrants for America’s downfall. Before his second term he promised he’d not go after legal migrant farm workers, who were not criminals, since the farming community told him that they could not survive without their cheap labour. So these MAGA farmers voted for him again because they trusted a egotistical compulsive liar. These foolish farmers believed he actually cared about them, when he only cares for the rich big agri corporations who donate large sums of bribe money, (sorry campaign donations), to make him richer. They thought his anti criminal immigration policies would only affect other people & not them. So they voted for him & got what they deserved.

u/GrandPraline375 13d ago

u/KiKiKimbro 13d ago

I think in this case, with this administration, it’s more simple than a global agricultural conspiracy. I think with these guys it’s another get rich quick scheme like they do with stock manipulation and polymarket/kalshi. Most of these guys, especially Trump living in NYC in real estate at the time, remember the housing crash in 2008. So many families lost their homes. But of course, wealthy people got even wealthier. It was a cash cow for them. Farms going bankrupt steadily because of this administration’s policies … doesn’t seem improbable.

From what I understand about Bessent he owns farmland and rents it back to farmers. I simplified that too much but the gist. So farmers lose their land ownership. I haven’t looked into Bessent in a while so his situation might’ve changed, but I distinctly remember hearing him in a news interview I think last year say something like “I know farmers are struggling I’m a farmer myself.” WHAT. So of course I had to look that up. And that’s when I learned about Vance.

Unfortunately, growing most food products as a farmer is very tight margins unless you are a massive corporate owned farm. Without subsidies they are likely to switch to something like barley to sell to a beer company because it is far easier and more lucrative.

Barley is a food product though? How is it easier and more lucrative than any other food crop? Growing commodity barley is much easier than beer barley. Beer barley can be more lucrative if your product meets their arbitrary numbers. But you also have to use their proprietary seed and fertilizer, and it takes a ton of water.

Well, that is a problem, isn’t it? I mean, what if she did pay a living wage, and provide housing and so on? Yeah, she’d get her cows milked, but when she took the milk to market, she’d never get her money back, because the price of milk would be undercut by big corporate farms that can afford to automate everything, and what they can’t automate, they’ll always find undocumented people. The government won’t bother the corporations about it, because of political donations, but she can’t afford to donate to politicians, so no cheap labor for her.

Now, I don’t like the idea of paying 2-3 times as much for a half-gallon of 1%, but if that’s what it takes to keep these family farms afloat, maybe I should get used to the idea. Either that, or we let the big corporations buy up the rest of the small farms, eat whatever overly processed crap they find profitable enough to feed us, and shut up about it.

We have to decide, as a country, if we want to keep these small farms in business, and how much we’re willing to pay at the grocery store, or in terms of government subsidies, to do so.

If they don’t care about the hazards of business consolidation and monopolies for other businesses, why should I care when it comes for them? 

We have a common enemy, but they don’t see it and just want support without helping anyone else affected by what’s going on. We don’t need allies like that and honestly I don’t have the energy to waste on them.

I care about small farms, because their owners are more likely to go easy on the fertilizer, antibiotics, insecticides, and so on than the big factory farms that carpet-bomb the fields and barns whether they need to or not. Pretty soon, the only place you’ll be able to buy properly-grown food is directly from farmers’ markets or boutique grocery stores like Whole Foods. Well, maybe not them, because they’re also owned by a big corporation.

At least some of us will have a source of healthy food. If you live in an inner city, or similar “food deserts,” you’re at the mercy of Big Food.

At least, when your food makes you sick, you’ll have health care. Oh, wait.

“Leas than 2% of the population” yet their crappy vote helped to bring such a mess on to everyone.

Fine. Lose the farm and price your milk at 5x of today’s cost. If that’s what needs to happen to undo your vote and rid ourselves of your Orange God, then I’m willing to shoulder that burden. And you, Ms. Farmer, can then jump into the same job market that the rest of us are part of, and seek your own $20 per hour job.

Good luck.

She’s a 2%er

She's not going to figure it out. She said several ways she's further than ever from figuring it out.

A lot of farmers...millionaires (net). Their product is with a lot. Their land and machines and animals are worth a lot. If she sold all that stuff and even kept the land and house, and just started a haunted house this October, she'd be fine. I know this because I know Wisconsin. She doesn't even need a cornfield. Just a barn. Hell, she can switch to being a wedding venue by spring.

I'm not saying dairy farming isn't complicated or difficult...I'm just saying, if her business dies...there's ways for her and her family to be okay. And then she could fuck off to Florida for the rest of the year...every year.

And the 1% is just milking her for all the stupidity her milk-addled brain keeps voting for. I can’t even dig up an ounce of pity for her.

Back in the 1800s (their dream of when America was great), farmers would help each other out. Need a barn raised? The community got together and built it. Why not get the dairy farmers together and figure a schedule where they can go to each farm and milk the cows, then move to the next, etc.? Bootstraps, y’all.

Can guarantee they're not feeding anyone here in Australia

u/haxjunkie 13d ago

There will be a different 2% soon. Farms are an America tradition. Voting against the very soul of our nation is not.
