So let me get this straight: she had everything planned and set up under the policies of the Biden administration, everything was working fine and a large part of the plan were immigrant workers. So naturally she voted for Trump. I struggle to empathize, tbh.

I seriously hate these people more than Trump.

I mean, did they do literally no research into what his policy proposals were? What the repercussions would be for those in her line of work? Did it not occur to her that the migrants she pays shit wages to were the people he was ranting about deporting?

The answer, of course, is no. She did no research. She dedicated no meaningful thought to it. She wanted to fuck the liberals because they put Harriet Tubman on a twenty dollar bill and she heard about the three trans athletes in her entire state and that was about where her consideration of the matter ended.

On a just barely positive note, we dedicate a frankly stupid amount of funding to keeping farms going despite their being laughably uncompetitive, most of the funding not really helping our food supply or economy, so it would probably be for the better if these cuts stick and idiots like her are forced to actually run their farms like businesses instead of thousand acre welfare queens.

There seems to be a huge disconnect between supporting trump and paying attention.

... Holy shit, this woman is fucking dumb and deserves to lose her farm.

-wanted Needed a grant from the Government.

-Needed to hire migrant workers.

-Voted for the guy saying he was going to gut federal funding programs and close the borders.

Her farm had been awarded a grant worth $400,000 through the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help pay for the costs associated with hiring seasonal workers from overseas through the H-2A visa program, which farmers have used for years to hire temporary agricultural workers.

The USDA describes the program on its website as a way to address labor shortages on American farms and reduce illegal immigration. It's backed by $65 million in funding from the American Rescue Plan, a Covid stimulus bill passed in 2021.

IOW she was only getting that $400K because of a program funded under Biden. Which of course is why trump is freezing it, along with programs funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, also passed under Biden. He wants to undo everything Biden did.

Carlson has been trying to get an answer from the USDA about the status of her grant, but her grant manager told her that they were “awaiting guidance from leadership.” When she followed up more recently, she received an out-of-office email.

Because they got fired!

Too lazy to actually read the article, but I assume this is a face-eating leopard farm

“I was expecting to see a drastic turnaround for the better for my farm because the Republicans have always been for the American farmer,” said Carlson, a longtime Republican and Trump supporter.

When?

Seriously, when have Republicans ever actually been there for American farmers, or even just Americans that aren't millionaires at the least? Seriously, please point out a single law enacted by Republicans that wasn't there to benefit the richest layer of the US?

Yeah Democrats are spineless idiots but Democrats at least left stable economies after receiving shit economies from a Republican. Seriously, look it up, it's funny to actually see it. They actually made things marginally better for everyone instead of a very select few

So, when?

I'm sorry, if you're growing cherries, fucking expensive ass cherries, and can't stay afloat without almost a half million dollars of welfare, then what the fuck are you even doing? I don't fully agree with it, but I at least understand the importance of giving welfare to people growing crops we actually need, but frivolous shit like cherries? What a waste. If we're paying almost a half million dollars in taxes to give you cherry welfare, those cherries better be free or close to it.

______ voted for Trump. Now, Trump's decision to _____ will hurt them.

On repeat.

Why would you vote Trump if youre relying on federal grant money? Its not like he hid the fact tbat he was gonna slash and burn govt programs. People really need to pay the fuck attention to what theyre voting for...jesus christ.

Sorry, I would care. But your leader told me that empathy is humanity's biggest weakness.

That said. How the fuck can the richest country in the world have less social security than any country in Europe? How the fuck do you even survive until your 18?

"I’ll admit to you, I bleed Republican. (...) Her farm had been awarded a grant worth $400,000 through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (...) Carlson was planning to use her USDA grant money to hire 10 temporary workers from Guatemala to help with this year’s harvest."

The sheer amount of stupidity is crazy. The same people that were crying that everything bad was the fault of Biden actually had they farm working thanks to Biden.

Will they realize at some point ?

Zero fucking sympathy for the longtime Nazi and Russian supporting POS. Don't worry, your farm will end up in corporate hands thanks to your pure racist stupidity.

A half million for temporary workers. Nice to see republicans embracing socialism and public welfare to prop them up.

She sounds pretty dumb. Maybe someone smarter will take over the farm.

Hopefully her farm does go under. These people are not going to learn until they face the consequences in their daily life. This country will have to tear itself apart before we wake up.

Hope she loses everything because somebody this dumb isn't ever gonna learn the lesson

They get a $400k grant for free (previous years?) and struggle to keep the farm running?

MAGA, by hiring foreign people because as she says, “The American worker doesn’t like labor, they don’t like to do laborious jobs”.

400k for 10 workers. How much of that do they make? Why isn’t she working hard? Let her farm go under, she’s a welfare queen. What a dumb cunt.

Despite all this, we all know damn well that she will vote republican again. She’ll vote for whatever scum trump endorses. These people never learn.

Who could have seen this coming, except for EVERYONE! Lose your farm, get fucked and don't vote for a fascist next time.

Those immigrant workers were stealing valuable and very in-demand American fruit and vegetable picking jobs. Surely now she can hire from the huge line of American workers desperate to do this job. /s

Oh no. Anyway.

So these are the real welfare queens, not the people they voted to hurt. Fuck them and their farm.

“I was expecting to see a drastic turnaround for the better for my farm because the Republicans have always been for the American farmer,” said Carlson, a longtime Republican and Trump supporter.

If there's anything good that could come out of the entire Trump situation, it would be finally breaking the illusion and myth that Republicans are good for the economy and Republicans are good for farmers. It's apparent they will try to keep their head in the sand until they nearly suffocate though.
