This is deliberate. They’re consolidating the grip of corporate agriculture. This will be a wealth/land transfer to the rich. Feudalism is back, baby.

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!

I didn't vote for him
Instead of the Lady of the lake, we have the troll with a Tesla
You can't be a leader because some tart in the lake through a sword at you
You can't be a leader because you made up some story about some tart in a lake throwing a magical sword at you
Do you use Windows and did you give Bill money so that he can buy all the land?
I was quoting the film.
I should have noticed, there is no excuse.
I switched to Linux and only ever pirated Windows when I did use it. But Bill still had all the money anyways.
Did you cast a vote into the direction most likely to ensure he lost?
Remember that sooper-communist policy where the us government would buy surplus crops to ensure that too much was grown for the sake of having enough when there were bad years and crop disasters?
Gosh I wonder which president got rid of it
It was Obama, wasn't it? Maybe Clinton?
It was Clinton... Nixon began dismantling it, Reagan for rid of government grain reserves, and Bill Clinton scrapped the last remaining big reserve mechanisms with the 1996 “Freedom to Farm Act”. That law explicitly moved U.S. farm policy away from supply management toward reliance on global markets.
When leftists tell liberals that Democrats are a different side of the same coin, it's because of shit like this. Everything horrible were dealing with is neo-liberal policies set in motion decades ago, and was called the lesser evil at the time. We're out of time, we need a revolution.
The rural americans are the salt of the earth, the clay of the new west, you know, morons...
I've read trivia that Sherrif Bart was not allowed to see the script for this scene. His reaction is genuine.
Mel, is thank god, a true humanitarian....tis true, much of the film was 'off the cuff' for editorial reasons...Mel is a saint.....
Wasn't this the plan so big corpos could buy out all the smaller farms?
More like big ag corpos could buy out smaller ag corpos.
“Family” farms haven’t been family-operated in ages. Just family owned.
GOD! he Was only supposed to go After BROWN AND TRANS KIDS! NOT us Farmers!

There's going to be a lot of land available for Tech Bros to set up their private cities.
Yeah, fucking weirdoes like Curtis Yarvin and people that follow The Sovereign Individual are going to love that.
Well, have the day you voted for. Glad you gave up your country for some other guys war.

Now its time for Canada to come down with a 100% export tariff on Potash.
