Want a way to reach rural voters? Here it is! [View all]
JD Vance, the Hillbilly Venture Capitalist, invested in a company called Acretrader. Basically they buy up farmland so farmers can work as serfs on the land while rich investors make all the money. Do you think they might pursue policies that put family farms out of business so they can buy up the land cheap and make even more money? I’m from a rural high school and I can tell you that no one I went to high school with went to Harvard, started a Venture Capital firm and put family farms out of business with a predatory online investment platform! Who are these monsters 😡
