These people are so fucking stupid they think food just magically appears in the grocery store without the hard work from actual farms and farmers that provide the food. Then they want to kvetch about "climate change", and who gets the main brunt of THAT particular brand of bullshit? Farmers. Just look at what's happening in the UK and Europe.

My state nearly banned all chicken farming that wasn’t factory farming over this bullshit. I would have basically set the limit for chicken ownership to strictly what your household could consume (about a dozen) and anything more then that you have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to comply with regulations

Farmers in bumfuck nowhere have to fix these things themselves or hire people to do it, which is more expensive and time-consuming than hiring illegals to do cheap manual labor.

Aren't most of the farms who hire illegals owned and operated industrially, since those are the only places capable of fucking housing them? I know of literally nothing, anecdotal or data wise, to support that it's grandpa's farm hiring illegals as help.

No many places are fine to just house them and then make them do manual labor with farms tools. It costs nothing to stuff a bunch of migrant laborers in tiny cabins you threw up. If your harvest was mostly mechanized you wouldn’t need the laborers in the first place. It’s not grandpas farms but a lot of these big agri corps make their laborers do it the old fashioned way

Captain Planets gave AIDS to the basketball player.

Surprised he can afford them.

I didn't realize the fag leafs not only wanted a digital sales tax, they wanted to retro-date it back to 2022 and then wanted 2 Billion up front immediately from some companies.

You could not be more emblematic of your Jeet corruption than this attempt at a shakedown online, absolute fucking scumbags. Please just bully all canadians.

️Israeli settlers are burning down the Christian town of Taybeh in the West Bank

The village is known for its uniquely all-Christian population.

Cars, lands and home all attacked in a series of violent pogroms aimed at uprooting Palestinian communities.

I get so fucking mad at these retards over the farming shit because my Step Father maintained a small one for years up until he died. I know it was a smaller scale personal farm, but the point still stands. I worked a little bit of it to try and help him out, but holy shit, I am NOT cut out for hard, physical labor. I have the utmost respect for farmers and the work that they do particularly because I tried it, realized I couldn't do it because of my own physical limitations, and now advocate on behalf of them. These folks need all the help they can get, and they deserve your undying loyalty and respect.

I'm pretty sure the medication does the opposite.

Bailing out farms would be more popular than bailing out huge car makers that can't afford to pay generous pensions to Boomers. We need farms. We don't need shitty, overpriced cars.

I will buy Honda until I die.

A lot of these people just think meme organic homesteads will feed everyone lol.

I love that shit but I am under no delusion it’s enough to feed people unless gardening for food sees a massive resurgence in practice

Stupid friend of mine watched youtube vids years ago. Decided to become a fine ol' good ol' boy. Moved himself to the country. Bought 20 acres, got some cows, pigs, etc. Tried to farm. I remember him saying, "you put fucking seeds in the ground man, how are you this stupid? how do you not know this?"

Yeah. All the livestock got sick and died and he couldn't grow anything and was too lazy to keep up with the 20 acres. Eventually the bank took it all. I think the youtubers also turned out to be fake asses like always..

Moral of the story, influencers rot your brain and you'll probably fail at even gardening.

Reminds me of how people unironically think that this is capable of feeding an entire family AND a few traditional farm animals

No it ain't. We still got Vance to break the tie. But thank you for the info, Oracle Fatpacks

Managed properly with the right soil? It could feed a couple and Mabye a small child. It’s the idea that type of farm is going to feed hundreds of people that’s the delusion.

Ron Johnson, Thom Tillis, and Rand Paul already voted against advancing it. McConnel will almost certainly vote against it too. That leaves only 49 "yes" votes.

Fuck it close enough welcome back 2007
> Next year recession ?

Probably. Housing market is starting to come down in some places. We never properly recovered from 2008 and wallpapered it over with infinity money via quantitative easing and immigration for cheap labor.

I know lots of small farmers (as in family-owned, several hundred or a thousand acres), and none of them have the cash to hire anyone. Farming is a losing proposition, with the absurd cost of implements, land and bullshit trademark seeds. Any real reform (and NO, subsidies don't count as anything other than a bandaid on a massive problem) desperately needs to be implemented, but congress is full of city idiots who dictate their city idiot policy over their rural constituents

Most farmers aren't subsistence and it requires a fuckton of labor. Grandpa might own 500 acres and that is a shitload of work to mange.

Edit to add: it is also heavily crop-dependent. If grandpa farms grain that has tons of gear to automate, he could do it himself with a little help. If the crops have to be hand-picked, it's a different story.

The BBB is fucked.

No it isn't. JD will tiebreak and the Democrars will start pumping out articles about removing the tiebreak.

I think your friends issue was trying to jump right into high level farming tbh. I think anyone can learn to garden if they start small enough

McConnel is a RINO but there is nothing objectionable in the bill to him. The ones that flaked were expected.

The real problem comes in when these people think that including a cow or a few pigs is a good idea
