They'll blame Democrats

Thanks to Republican education cuts and propaganda, they're dumb as shit and won't put two and two together

the only thing farmers know is the price that the 5 giant beef companies are paying them for their cows

Trump is already promising to bail out the farmers with the money from tariffs next year.

They won't care. Trump will tell them it was Obama (because he will forget to say Biden).

And ALL that farmland will be gathered up by “Govt approved corporations”. Then they’ll produce the food after paying shit to the former workers, as well as shit prices for the land.

Like gathering up butterflies…

How’s your Trump now, bitches?

Most of them won't have enough critical thinking skills to realise what happened. They'll just blame whoever Fox or Tiktok tells them to blame.

It's a good thing.

America will be better off after being taken down a few pegs. They'll start trying again.

now imagine for a moment - go back to that post-9/11 period - and imagine that our standing in the world and our economic dominance are both failing not because of some new innovation from our competitors, or climactic disturbance in politics or crops, no, it's all falling to shit because, and only because we elected a conman to lead the country, twice, and it's gone terribly both times.

oh and gwb iraq didn't really set things up for greatness, but damn, ten years of trump has run this country right into the ditch.

impressively rapid descent into shitocracy.

Seems a bit woke, honestly.

in global shipping, closeness actually doesn’t make things necessarily more eco friendly: when you have 100 ships full of cargo heading from china to the US, they’ve got to return too… either they return full of something, or nothing

i’m not sure how it all works out in this case, but slowly moving things from the US to asia is practically free, in pretty much all regards

Getting loads of amazing New Zealand apples in Canada now instead of ones from the US. They’re very good! 😊

It’s going to take a LOT to undo the damage that Trump has done, and is continuing to do

I don't think it will ever be fully undone. The willingness of the American people to put near-dictatorial power in the hands of one man is not something that our allies and trading partners are ever going to forget. (Not to mention that one man is very clearly suffering from dementia.)

It was a good 80-year run, but Donald and this Congress have irrevocably tarnished the American brand by allowing lawlessness and madness to rule unfettered.

He already rescued Azerbaijan from two brutal wars that nobody ever heard of. Hasn't he done enough?

Australian here.

I just thought you'd be interested to know that the nutty is kind of leaking.

Thankfully they are very few, but we do have some MAGA Trump supporters here, and yes they occasionally say "make australia great again". Its so shameless.

I live in a place called albany, and yes on precisely one occasion I've seen someone say make albany great again.

We're having a local council election. About a third of the candidates are dickheads with no chance of getting up, and yes they include things like anti-woke and anti-DEI in their bios.

It won't though because supply and demand are not equal countervailing forces, all of supply is controlled by a literal handful of agribusiness conglomerates. The ranchers themselves are being squeezed for decades now, the three large Meat Packing houses on the other hand are making money hand over fist.

Prices are high because of price fixing, because of illegal trusts that the government has not enforced for decades. It worked with eggs, as long as they have someone to blame it on.
