Exports are where the pain and blood are going to kick in.

All those soybeans, pork and wheat farmers used to sell to China? Gone, gone, gone. China has made deals elsewhere for all that it’s never coming back.

It’s gone and they don’t need the US farmers anymore.

Next up, trump and his regime will initiate a bailout of the Farmers because they destroyed their market. National Debt… another trillion or two added.

It’s worse than that. Sure China is huge, but the entire world is boycotting US goods. It’s far far worse than what your pointing out. But we’ll, maybe this is a good thing. Fuck USA.

Feels real bad man. A lot of people that voted against this are going to suffer. For perspective 74.9 million people voted for Harris. That’s greater than the entire population of France (68.3 million).

The number of people that didn’t want this is massive. But a few more people in this country did want this so now millions have to suffer.

Maybe the depression this causes will give the US a chance. We seem to only have progressive reform when the economy collapses. When the economy is good voters shift to destroying the system because it’ll “lower their taxes”. Maybe Americans are a lost cause

Good. Food shouldn’t be grown for profit at all and shouldn’t be exported. Time to nationalize all the agrobusinesses who “can’t survive” without paying slave wages to export millions of gallons of subsidized water to foreign countries for pennies.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
