Reese Waters - Farmers Bailout Plea Met With OUTRAGE (thoughts and prayers)

[ihaveaquestion]

American Farmers are feeling the pain of Trump’s policies as Farmer FAFO continues. US agricultural communities that had expected Trump to have their backs have found themselves flung into a second trade war.

President Donald Trump is weighing a bailout program for farmers that would use tariff income, according to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. The U.S. agricultural industry is preparing for a harvest season that will likely be characterized by dwindling export opportunities and more expensive tools and equipment as a result of the administration’s aggressive tariff policy.

The U.S. agricultural workforce fell by 155,000 — about 7 percent — between March and July, according to an analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data. That tracks with Pew Research Center data that shows total immigrant labor fell by 750,000 from January through July. The labor shortage piles onto an ongoing economic crisis for farmers exacerbated by dwindling export markets that could leave them with crop surpluses. FAFO.

Farmers often turn to undocumented laborers because of the red tape and high costs associated with the H-2A program, which allows migrant workers to fill jobs in seasonal agricultural industries. They also complain that H-2A, the nation’s largest temporary visa program, is off-limits to employers looking to hire for year-round operations like dairy farms.

7. Farmers-you are probably forced to sell your farms to the big farms (so they will have control of food supply)

you know what that means? Higher prices corporate profits will rise and so will hunger, but who gives a damn its not your problem right?
Put 2 and 2 together with some critical thinking. You think that would never happen? I got a cheap Brooklyn Bridge you can buy

9. That's the plan.

But not just farmers. All "small businesses". There's a video somewhere showing tsf bragging about buying stuff on the cheap during the bad economic times for the rest of us.
