The irony is that trump will ruin farming this decade and yokel magats will worship him like they do with Regan, who also crushed domestic farming. Shame because if any of them would just pickup a fucking book and read it they’d probably change their tune on trump and Regan, but we know that won’t happen lol. Just re-vomit what newsmax and fox feed them and be happy to be dumb as the fucking dirt they don’t farm anymore.
Not my story but I want to share - in the US - the girl I’ve been dating for several months recently told me she has been receiving SNAP and Medicade for her disabled daughter. She left an abusive relationship several years ago and has been struggling to keep it together. This month, without SNAP, she asked me for money. I sent her what she needed and I’m sure things will be fine. For her, this is a disaster. She’s emotionally tapped out and feels like she is failing her daughter. They’re going to food pantries but so is every other working poor person right now. She works doing Amazon deliveries which fits with her daughters therapy schedule and allows her to work when able. Ex is out of the picture and does not help, deadbeat stuff.
I just put this out there for some perspective. Many folks are going through hell right now. I wish I had a better solution for her, or for others suffering. I feel so powerless to make any meaningful change in the world. I care for her a lot but I have no idea what to say.
