(34,661 posts)Have Cousins and their Kids playing this game. They knew years ago that their over Production was going to come back a bite them in their butts.
Between these people voting for Four times and Trump once,that ugly Chicken has come home to roost. And to think,they are now getting their new Property Tax bills after their new reassessments brought on by Budget short falls in every County in the State.

(31,261 posts)He does not find schools adequately. Then say, "you're paying more taxes, the money isn't going where he claim it is going", then innocently ask "could it be going to big business, the big farms that you compete against?" That should leave a mark.

(34,661 posts)Have a family member that has developed a nasty case of Heart Failure. His delayed Treatment for the last four to five years has caused this to become Acute requiring Assisted Living with 24/7 care. All the result of denied Health Care due to his low income situation. When you can not afford Insurance,good luck.
Now he is covered by Medicaid,but the Damage is already done.

(31,261 posts)The situation you just described is why we need full medical coverage for every American for basic health concerns. Things like boobjobs, penile implants, cosmetic surgery can remain 100% privately financed and under no circumstances but a mastectomy or a guy getting his tool damaged in a accident be covered by regular medical coverage.

(36,744 posts)Too bad there wasnt a way to boycott their soy here in the US, but its mixed into a lot of stuff.
They're bs-ing - almost all of them would be found to take various farm subsidy and crop adjustment checks. They're from Will Co IL.
And that extends to that "to the death" and "toe the line" stuff too.
When they can't make their tax bills or their mortgage payments you can bet they'll be howling. The trick here is to make sure you reach them - they can "tow" their line over somewhere else, and will. These don't give off the signals you'd expect from religious fanatics, nazis, or other kinds of dead enders - just people who haven't done enough thinking yet.

(21,719 posts)countries are eager to take our place. Brazil is already a bigger exporter of soy beans then the USA, and they are busy now spending billions to improve their infrastructure (roads, ports, bridges, rivers, etc.) to make their operations even more efficient.
The other big competitor is (Surprise Surprise!) Russia.
Once the world gets used to buying from our competitors (free markets, y'all), we will not be getting that business back.

(28,072 posts)soybeans are one of their crops. They do not stand by Trump - of course, they didn't stand by him before the tariffs. She tells me that they are still in the minority in their area, something neither one of them understands. Both Cousin & her husband are hoping their neighbors are just too embarrassed to publicly admit their mistake.

(81,139 posts)to want to avoid having to admit youre wrong, or that you made a mistake. Or worse, to be honest enough to admit that youve been HAD.
NOBODY wants to be a fool, or to be openly recognized as one.

(8,515 posts)The stupidity label gets stapled to them only because they refuse to admit they made a mistake....EGOES!!!
I know I have no problem admitting a mistake I made.. It only hurts more when you're caught in your own ego trap.

(7,997 posts)They have to fight weather, bugs, fungus, and weeds while having no idea what they may earn for the crops they produce. I think their support for trump is stupid, but they sure know how to get through the bad times. Some will be losing their farms, most likely. Unless you've had to survive on a farm income (I did in my first marriage) you have no idea what a bad deal farming can be.
