It's funny how quickly people stop saying "get a job" when
they have one and still can't make payments.
You'll notice they're asking the House, because Trump basically said he fixed it. And bragged about it. A lot.
Look, I feel badly for the farmers. I do. They voted this guy in, and he used their livelihoods as a bargaining chip. Again, maybe if he'd somehow landed a better deal sooner, the coronavirus hit on the market wouldn't be quite so bad. Or, you know, if he hadn't done anything and left the status quo. Already there's talk
China wants to push back those imports Trump said they'd agreed too and
Trump will allow them. Which is fine as an abstract concept, but farmers have specific dates to worry about. Such as the last day they can realistically put seeds in the ground and get a harvest at all. The coronavirus can't change the fucking weather. So in addition to going bankrupt faster than ever, selling less than ever, getting a socialist bailout that doesn't even cover their losses, and
apparently are just fucking killing themselves in some cases, now they have to gamble with if/when China will recover in time to actually buy their produce, and they, as always, have a finite time to make that decision. Which is a lot like a food truck deciding whether to have beef, pork, or chicken before knowing if the tourists will be Hindu, Jewish, or dogs.
So they are in a bad position. I get that, and it sucks.
I will stop understanding and stop feeling bad if they vote for Trump again.
