The leopards are so obese from the face eating that it is a miracle they continue to stuff themselves.

Yeah, so what? They voted for Trump to inflict pain, and he's doing that. They're getting what they wanted.

And you know what? If he was running again, they'd vote for him AGAIN. Anything to keep from voting for a Democrat, because Democrats are icky. Also Jesus.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago

That's probably my favourite part of the whole thing. If he would run again, he would promise them their jobs back that sleepy joe and hussein obama took from them and they would cheer and shake their fat fists

Hope they suffer.

Did anyone actually read the story?

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, and i find it funny that these people voted for a party that consistently shits on climate change legislation and conservation efforts yet their entire livelihood is being wiped out due to drought condition caused by both climate change and lack of conservation.

Have COMPASSION! These Good Americans thought ONLY Trans kids and Brown people would be Affected! If they had KNOWN Trump would Ruin Their LIVES too they STILL would have Voted for Him! But STILL you Must have Compassion!

Not "catastrophe". Just "consequence".

Well it sure is a good thing SNAP basically doesn't exist anymore, otherwise these brain dead morons, these wayward souls, they'd have a chance to be tempted into becoming profligate hypocrites in another way!

You see, God, Trump, they're the same thing, and this is all a good thing, because now they'll have a chance to prove themselves before the sacrificial altar of capitalism, just as Jesus wanted.

Just uh, start a business or something, in the midst of a rapidly worsening economic depression, can't be that hard, right?

Reading the article, seems a major reason this is happening is actually climate change, which of course these knuckleheads don't believe in 🤦

[–] DomeGuy@lemmy.world 53 points 3 days ago (4 children)

It was a meat-packing plant that handles a significant portion of the beef processed in the whole country. Beef that we can't really export anymore because Trump thinks trade deficit is the same thing as a credit card and RFK is trying to kill us all.

Climate change may have had a hand in the drought, but the proximate cause for this is much more likely Trump's incompetent trade policy. If Tyson didn't see a recession coming, they'd likely retooled the plant to something else rather than scuttle the whole thing.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 25 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I also read on another thread: many of the plant workers are immigrants and there's been increasing tension between the workers and the "native" townies. So there's a decent contingent of town folk who are happy the plant is closing, and think their communities will adjust to living without the plant workers spending their money locally.

"think" is a rather generous phrasing of what they're doing.

Don't worry, they are opening a Maga/Nazi concentration camp just up the road in McCook Nebreska. All the inbreds will just go work there instead.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Some will. The ones that can't keep a roof over their heads will become slave labor.
