Well, as a tofu muchin soy snackin vegan freak, I'm tempidly optimistic. Guess that fascist orange fuck is gonna lower my grocery prices after all.
And to think, all it only took was crashing the national economy, needlessly wasting soft cultural power and enacting worldwide boycotss of domestic goods to FINALLY make America great!
🙄
As much as I try to maintain that these are our fellow working class folks who have been victimized(to a variable, case-by-case extent) by a lying fascist, it's nice to see karma in action.
these are our fellow working class folks
The farm laborers are. But they're the ones getting harassed by our seven layer dip of paramilitary police every time they step off the plantation.
The farm owners are the same petite bourgeois pos shit sacks who gave us hard borders and bloated security state budgets and massive prison populations. They got baited by racist fear mongering - even profited from it on occasion - and only realized they'd get to the end of their rope at the end.
Bust up these farms and return them to the people who do the actual labor. Then I'll start feeling bad about farm owners.
I have never met a commercial farmer that wasn't a bigoted asshole.
So... Soy products are about to become cheaper? I'm down for some tofu.
Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions...
“We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. “We wanna encourage the administration to get a proactive trade deal done.”
If you’re desperate, you’re well beyond the “proactive” stage…
Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha..
Sorry I meant..
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
dint china already find other suppliers like venuzeula, brazil, and other SOUTH east asian country.
Yep that demand is never coming back. Happens when you continually fling shit at a trading partner.
They voted for it.
How all the soy boy beta cucks working for this administration will sound this winter while trying to reassure Americans we don't need to resort to cannibalism just yet bc we still have an insane surplus of unprocessed soy beans we have to do something with.
I say this as a vegetarian. I'm kinda looking forward to hearing what kind of propaganda these people will spin to explain the sudden 180. "Awkshully, soy has always been one of the most hyper masculine protein sources available in the western hemisphere."
Maybe if you do nothing and just let the crops rot they will auto ferment into blocks of tofu?
They will likely dump the crops in the ocean to keep prices stable like they do with many other surpluses. One of the worst things about capitalism, instead of trying to feed the poor or do something useful with it
They knew this was coming before the planting season, too. Now, they may have already used their loans on soy, as I'm not sure about the time frame on when their orders would be placed, but they still could have minimized the loss with reduced planting. This is how incredibly stupid these people are. They've known since last November he was elected and what his plans were.
Damn, you know what would've been a good trade deal? Not touching anything and just letting it be instead of the tariffs.
Have the day you voted for 😘
Retarded Trump voters again
Weird. I seem to remember the orange idiot they voted for starting a pointless trade war with China (and the rest of the world)? That's why we're all paying more for less...
Bootstraps people, bootstraps
