Should we bail out the farmers, again?

C'mon, you know there's a NY Post article out there that paints this as a stunning victory for Trump, and thus America

 

With harvest here,
Trump’s trade war pushes some US farmers to the brink

Trump 2.0 being snookered by Argentina---enabling the So American country to
screw the US farmer some more---only exacerbates the problem​

 

China is not buying US ag products. What do you expect other countries to do, *not* sell to them? Australia is doing the same with beef.

 

thanks for the update

Some 6 months after Trump 2.0 declaring liberation day,
US cedes its share of China's beef market to Australia

​

Australian beef has replaced U.S. supply in China since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, funnelling hundreds of millions of dollars that have in previous years gone to the U.S. cattle industry into Australian pockets.

U.S. shipments to China, worth around $120 million a month, collapsed after Beijing in March allowed permits to expire at hundreds of American meat facilities and as Trump unleashed a tit-for-tat tariff war.​

 

You hear that giant sucking sound?

 

This pisses me off as I bought a lot of grass-fed Australian meats at a local chain (Whole foods carries at least some of the same meat but charged outrageous prices--even before Trump's stupid tariffs). Shortly after Trump's tariffs were announced, my local chain must have seen the writing on the wall because they closed their doors for good.

I've pretty much given up on GF meats now thanks to Trump and the assholes that voted for him.

 

If you are going to bail out farmers on these soy beans, then why don't you take all that soy and make tofu. Then, give it away for free to the American taxpayers. How's that sound?

 

I now have the same thinking as Cartman, you did it once and we bailed you out, then you turn around and vote for him again knowing this would happen..................he huffed and puffed about tariffs and how smart he was about using them, and you still did it.................pull yourself up by the boot straps and get to selling to the big Oligarchs and then go get one of them fancy factory jobs that pay 22.50 an hour and learn to live in an apartment. The sad part is I am sure you would do this again given the chance

 

You said the F-word
