1. The incompetence is just mind boggling.

4. A large part is also "do I give a fuck if someone suffers? No". . . . . nt

2. I talked to some ND farmers this weekend.

They all said that they didn’t know what they were going to do with their bean crop. Couple of them were still magass. Said Trump would find a way so they can sell their crop.
The other two I couldn’t get a read on them. But I could see that they were worried.

3. Suckers. In 1.0, tRump semi-bailed out some farmers. They said they still supported him, "for the good of the country"

They tried to make themselves out to be nobly self-sacrificing. Did all of them survive? How are the remainder doing now?

5. lol....

absolutely the biggest self own by farmers EVER. Now they'll whine and cry and ask for a bailout which is just welfare really. The SAME kind of welfare they complain about when other folks get it. Actually, it's a helluva lot more than other people get. My farming extended family referred to them as "subsidies" and "assistance" all these years they've collected millions on the thousands of acres of crops they farm here in Michigan. NONE of the rest of us qualify for those handouts: Teachers (like me) , Engineers, Truckers, Sales People....we're all on our own. Maybe this is LONG overdue that they have to fend for themselves and get off the governments hind tit. Wow, I sound like a Republican.
