Summary
Michigan farmer Rebecca Carlson, a longtime Trump supporter, faces bankruptcy as Trump’s funding freezes stall a $400,000 USDA grant for hiring temporary workers.
Carlson, who hoped Trump’s second term would revive her struggling cherry farm, already spent $200,000 preparing for labor under the H-2A visa program.
With funding halted, she risks losing $200,000 more and can’t move forward with critical hires.
Trump’s new tariffs and immigration crackdowns threaten agriculture costs and labor availability, leaving farmers uncertain and frustrated with unmet promises.
______ voted for Trump. Now, Trump’s decision to _____ will hurt them.
On repeat.
Put that shit into my veins
Choices and consequences. Hope they learn and I really don’t care if they learn the hardest way possible, the family deserves it.
Bunch of welfare queens.
The leopards are having trouble keeping up with all the faces to eat.
The Leopards are straight up Type-2 at this point. The survival of the species is in serious doubt.
They wrote project2025 specifically to facilitate eating faces as rapidly as possible. They will get to everyone eventually.
One thing that trump is good at is making companies go bankrupt just like his casinos.
A half million for temporary workers. Nice to see republicans embracing socialism and public welfare to prop them up.
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.
brave of you to assume there will be another election.
Who could have seen this coming, except for EVERYONE! Lose your farm, get fucked and don’t vote for a fascist next time.
Oh no. Anyway.
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.
Fucking rights. Lose everything
Hope she loses everything because somebody this dumb isn’t ever gonna learn the lesson
Whatever she loses, it will be the libs fault.
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.
Their local media didn’t cover any of that. And that’s the problem. It’s not a case of stupidity or willful ignorance for a lot of them. They don’t get their news from cable or online. Just their local reliable broadcaster. Which over the last 20 years has been bought now and replaced with propaganda from companies like Sinclair.
Well they get “news” online from Facebook I imagine.
A lot of them don’t. In fact I’d have to guess for everyone that does there’s probably two or three that don’t. It’s an easy answer. Too easy to answer. But you’ll find out that if you talk to many of them it doesn’t tend to match up. Yes Facebook is still plenty of problem. And no one should use it. But there are other problems than Facebook And Fox News. As long as we focus on just those. the actual core of the problem goes unaddressed.
they don’t accept sources outside their local news and social circle where they accept everything as truthful and any outsider is automatically untrustworthy. I’ve run into someone utterly convinced that their local schools were forcing kids to become trans against thier will, because they heard it repeated by thier idiot republican social circle. No evidense required. Instead in thier mind burden of proof is on me for saying that’s ridiculous.
Even when they don’t wholeheartedly believe the lies they’ve been goven they will pretend to for fear of their social circle response.
I mostly agree with you. I wood just like to add that this isn’t a modern thing or even a modern conservative thing. It’s a human nature thing throughout all of human history.
You are absolutely right though that social pressure plays a lot into it as well. Currently my girlfriend is in north carolina. She doesn’t have cable. She knows that all three of the major local broadcast stations are all Sinclair propaganda as well. And doesn’t get her news from them. However she isn’t particularly engaged digging up News online. Outside of what her anarcho communist boyfriend sends her way. I’m working on that. Believe me I am. However she absolutely gets it from everyone within for proximity. Even if she doesn’t watch herself. Human beings are very coated to generally believe what those around them believe. It’s the rare ones that will go against the opinion of their local society.
Us rare ones pay a price for it too. Just about my whole family is hard right republican and religious idiots. Life with them has not been great.
Imagine someone with totally average intelligence. Then realize 50% of people are dumber than that. Also - they think they are smart.
And this is why trump just turfed the department of education.
It’s clear to me close to half the population stopped thinking after they heard “make America great again”.
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
Lol get fucked
FAFO
