Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Doesn't sound like an admission to me. Sounds like he's just shifting the burden of responsibility to farmers and acted like this was doing them a favor.
that kinda needs a stable climate, and not a fireball with record breaking extremes every fucking ~~year~~season.
so, is he gunna go all-in on ev, clean up industrial pollution and greenhouse gasses, shut down all the coal-burners, quit drilling for even more fucking oil?
is he gunna stay in the paris agreement, stay in the un, stay in nato (allies cooperate with each other on more than just defense)?
is he gunna let schools teach to all students, let all students learn, let libraries shelf and circulate all books, restore all the now deleted 'climate change' and other data and research, restore noaa, usda, fda and other gutted agencies?
maybe he'll let farmers repair their own equipment, harvest seeds from their own crops, or anything helpful.. at all?
ya, didn't think so.
His administration won't let NOAA provide accurate forecasts so that the farmers can plan ahead.
He'll also deplete irrigation water in the off season so there's less of it available when farms need it.
Not to mention, a significant chunk of the farm workers are/will be rounded up.
Buddhism talks of three poisons of the mind which inevitably create suffering, namely greed, hatred and ignorance. Turns out, a government based entirely on these doesn't make things better.
Kakistocracy. You're gonna hear this word more and more over the next 4 years.
It just sounds that he does not understand the issues at all. Which is pretty normal with him.
Because capacity to manufacture and produce whatever “product” he handwaves in the general direction of will magically appear?
I am continuously frustrated and amazed at the absolute fucking stupidity of this man. He attacks the labor force that is exploited in agriculture thereby leaving food unharvested and unprocessed, jacks up prices on imports, and now tells farms to magically “make more now”?
TF…we might actually see real food scarcity become a thing here in the US again. Starvation is what’s for dinner for an increasing number.
