Didn't we go around with this same dance back in 2017?
You'd have thought the farm sector would have learned the first time.
What ? That big corporate farm lords would get the vast majority of the handouts to pad their executive pockets and boost investor confidence while an overwhelming number of small and independent farmers are left out in the cold often closing shop or selling out to the big corporate farm lords?
I think they learned.
NGL, I've family in the corn belt and hear that an awful lot of the local farmers there were 1,000% MAGA and voted for Trump even though they got fucked during his first term.
It's the culture war that they are hooked on. The notion of gay people and women having a voice scares the shit out of them and they react to that, more than the threat of being forced out of business. Information silos are fiercely defended if you even attempt to point out alternative sources for information.. Their stock reply - it's all "fake" this or that.
It's all just played out to distract people from realizing they are slaves. That's the craziest part.
...it's (American politics and culture) like giving a toddler an iPad to keep it busy while the parent sets up a playpen area to keep it in its own set predictable space.
It's hard to take anyone seriously anymore, because it's pretty evident you can even have reached an "American dream" and have success, but still be in the playpen and never know what authentic genuine life actually is. It's like having pride in being the most successful fool.
....
It's like American culture is a jpg that lost quality from being saved over and over again and nobody can see the picture anymore. The .jpg is peoples idea of what it means to exist... They repeated until there was no meaning or quality.
