It’s so much easier to swallow his bullshit than it is to face reality. Farmers have been getting led around by the nose through decades of government intervention and the United States has denied itself the opportunity to stay abreast of the exciting new world of modern agriculture.
Mary, this post of yours today is almost certainly the clearest and most reliably accurate assessment of the event. And a perfect metaphor for everything else that’s happening because we have such a pathetic collection of wealthy criminals running the country. 86 the entirety of this administration.
I asked when the President intended to keep any of his election promises, and was banned from Truth Social for “inappropriate language”. My question as to what was inappropriate was met by a repeat of the same banning message.
I love the way Mary writes and dispenses news, and I've never said that about anyone. The more people who see this the better. Brilliant, Mary.
The three and four companies who control it all I've known about and have known monopolies were forming all around us and few things good would come of it.
When was the last time there was competition when buying fertilizer or getting beef to market?
One irony is that foreign direct investment is highly correlated with trade deficits, which the tariffs were supposed to reduce. The mechanism is that FDI increases the demand for dollars, which makes the dollar more valuable, which makes imports more attractive and our exports less attractive. So Trump’s FDI claims aren’t just lies, they’re also incoherent.
Mary- we have a big race coming in the fall between Ed Gallrein (who beat Massie) and Melissa Strange (an impressive newcomer) If you go to Ed Gallrein for Congress on Facebook you will see the series of posts he has done of him supposedly running his farm tractor and making commentary about how awesome Kentucky farms are. NOTHING about reality.
Banks are merging so there are fewer of them - less competition.
Entertainment and media companies are merging so there are fewer of them - less competition.
Pharmaceutical corporations are merging so there are fewer of them - less competition.
Insurance companies, retail outlets, food conglomerates: all are merging so there are fewer of them - less competition.
Steve the farmer pointed out the problem that's affecting the nation's economy in every aspect.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer...

Do the farmers believe the bull dust? And will they still vote for tRump?
I wondered the same thing about their support of Trump.
I thought a round table was where people talked and the president listened.
No he Sleeps!
I tried to post about his lies but it was deleted every time
Deleted from where?

Mary, 4 posts in one day? I'm a little overwhelmed. Haven't caught up yet.

Reminds me of the old joke.
Guy points out to the boss they're losing five dollars on every sale.
To which the boss replies "Yeah, but look at those grosses!"

It would be really powerful if it’s out there.
I searched for video, audio and reporting of this, but so far I haven’t found anything.
