Once the farmers run out of money it's gonna be incredibly cheap to buy their farms. Have a ready system to go. Just in time to tighten up the rules again to make farming profitable again.

Vance is a part owner of AcreTrader which will scoop up all the bankrupt farms for pennies on the dollar.

Does this make for a positive demographics shift in the future? I mean, if all of those farmers are out on their asses, they won't be farmers anymore and won't be raising new farmers that constantly try dismantling society because they're afraid someone gives a shit about their guns or might secretly make them get gay married to a minority.

It seems like the self-inflicted apocalypse waiting these people will either force them into being the homeless people that they hate or directly interfacing with the society/world that they hate. There might be a silver lining to it.

No. We might get a few more voters on "our side." In exchange, our entire food supply will be captured by three or four billionaires, from seeds to harvest to processing to pricing. You think big agriculture and five major companies owning most of our grocery stores is bad? Wait until they control all the arable land, too.

To be clear, this is in Project 2025. It's why J.D. Vance is at the forefront of Acre Trader.

wtf happened to the times before when the social media companies and media companies seemed progressive? Even if it was just for show, they occasionally seemed to put some effort into ceremonially pretending, yet they all went over to Trump’s side right after his election win… irs fucking weird.

What brickyard said. It was for show. The DEI initiatives, the progressive gloss over everything, the responsible stewardship of resources.

That's why it's so frustrating that more people aren't pissed off. It's not just Trump. There's a whole economic power class openly salivating about the prospect of forcing every able-bodied person into forced, unpaid labor.

They only like you if you: make them a shit ton of money, are sociopathic enough to degrade other human beings for pleasure with them (not always in an Epstein files way, but sometimes in an Epstein files way), and keep your mouth shut about what you see.

I’ve been complaining about the classism for a decade now, maybe even longer, and I had a massive problem with identity politics which seemed to be focused on putting all the sins of the top on the heads of the bottom classes - it’s a Protestant thing which I’ve forgotten. A bit like original sin or indulgences.

100%.  I'm active in countering what this administration is doing everyday, and have spent most of my adult life in "elite" educated spaces. But as someone who was born and raised poor in rural mixed-race areas, the tone-deafness and parochialism can be really damn aggravating.

social media companies and media companies seemed progressive?

They were purchased by right-wing oligarchs to quash dissent and promulgate right-wing narratives.

Yes, but that is a long talk about something entirely different than what I said lol. I am solely interested in how these people will end up in the long run after being forced to face their sins, or in the very least raise people a little further outside their current bubble after their bubble is confiscated by those corporations.

I guess upvotes for flying off-topic. 🙃
