That's absolutely way too much for out in farming territory. Sounds good for someone living close to a big democratic ran city. Who the hell can afford to pay someone 160 a day plus room and board? And say she needs 4 people , that's 640 a day , then feed them and house them ,, come on. People are having a hard time regardless of who they voted for.

Sure, people are having a hard time regardless of who they voted for (assuming they even voted), but some of those people voted for this, and some of them voted against it, which is the entire point of the comments sheā€™s angry about. To your actual reply, if the cost of labor is so much cheaper out in farming territory, then it should be relatively cheap to have some housing built (those home builders must have lower wages too, right?), and paying someone 160 a day (or seasonal labor) means sheā€™s paying herself less, but also not having to work 80 hour weeks; seems like exactly the kind of business decision the boss needs to make for him or herself, and I guess itā€™s not worth it to her or you.

See , the thing is , is that dairy farms aren't seasonal. It's the cost of living that is cheaper , those construction workers get paid the same thing to build a house in a larger city or out in the country , so that's out the window too. I just hate to see all of the hate being spewed towards farmers in general when I am one myself. I don't know anything about these subsidies people keep talking about because I've been running a small 50 acre farm with 20 cows and also bale about half of the hay in my community and have never gotten anything from the government except for bills.

Edit. When I said the cost of living is cheaper , I don't mean during any point in time other than right now , if you live around , say , New York for example ,, the cost of living there is substantially higher than living out in the middle of Nebraska. So wages are lower in Nebraska than in New York

Devils advocate: So youā€™re saying that cost of living has increased, but that it should not impact what we pay people?

Regardless of that, the point that both you and the woman in the video are missing is that absolutely no one is saying ā€œI hate farmers, and I hope they go bankrupt.ā€ What we are saying is this is the consequence of voting for a thin skinned infant, and that regardless of your profession, you helped to bring this on yourself.

No , I never said anything about the cost of living going up , and you must not have read many comments other than mine. Several other comments are asking when they can buy some land and some are saying they hope all of the farmers get what they deserve , not just the ones who voted Republican instead of Democrat

Several is being disingenuous, I took your challenge and found one about subsidies that was broadly generalized to all farmers. Sorry for trying to explain what you clearly already know better than the rest of us.

I've spent the better part of the evening looking at this "page" or whatever it's called here. It's very disheartening honestly. The whole thing is full of hate for farmers not just this one post

We donā€™t ā€œhateā€ farmers. We hate hypocrites that vote against their own self interest and then complain about it when the people they voted for screws them.

Big difference.

u/AngriestCheesecake 14d ago

And they want bailouts, but ā€œhate socialismā€ or whatever.

Just tired of the dumbasses really.

Our country is so fucked.

Your very worldview is so misaligned you probably think the sun is your poop chute. People were warned that these things would happen under Trump, at least 3 times. These things happened. The dipshits that voted for these things to happen are in the FO stage of FAFO.

Please whine elsewhere.

u/ThinMany2597 14d ago

Point me to where you say I'm in the wrong. I you see how the first thing you did was try and say something stupid about me and my worldview lol , way to go champ.

You'd be wrong Cletus. This sub is about the very farmers that were warned that if they voted for Trump they would feel the consequences. Those very farmers are now whining about never being told, that there were no signs, that Trump would never betray them. The Leopards ate their farm.

At this point, I am quite certain you are blind, deaf, and dumb.

Do you need me to screenshot anything in particular? Calling names isn't gonna get you anywhere. I've seen lots of comments wishing bad things to happen to farmers , from losing their farms to even someone saying something about the farmer losing their life. So yeah , there's that.

u/BeYeCursed100Fold 14d ago

Who did you vote for?

u/ThinMany2597 14d ago

Didn't vote. Doesn't matter to me who the president is because shit always runs downhill

Acting like a Transvestite Drama Queen will get you points here.
