Despite his support for Trump, Ragland has become increasingly vocal about the need for immediate trade resolution. “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.”

I was about to suggest that maybe not all farmers voted for trump and thus they may not deserve the financial hardship, then I read this

I also have been feeling schaedenfreud but its not all their fault. They may have voted for trump but that was mainly because they were misled by propaganda networks. It shows how bad reporting is particularly among the rustbelt propaganda networks.Because none of these people were aware about project twenty twenty five which pretty much promised to crush trade.

If they had been presented with accurate reporting there's no way they would have voted against the pro trade neo liberals.

Our legal and political system enabled a group of plutocrats to falsify reporting and amplify russian disinformation campaigns.

About half of the customers for my seasonal business are farmers. I told them directly. They didn't believe me or didn't care.

Now they have crops rotting in the fields.

What are they saying to you now about it?

Let me guess, they're strangely silent.

I've not started taking orders for this season. Have to start this month. Kinda dreading it THB.
