Do the voters know where usaid buys its food, and what's going to happen to farms if it closes?
Not just food but everything. One of the valid criticisms of USAID is that it's more a subsidy program for American companies than an international aid program as it will buy American products even when it could be bought or made locally.
They are making videos claiming that Elon has proven all USAIDE money is paying 3mil a week for high fives. I'm not making that up, that's literally one of their claims. I know that sounds REALLY made up, but I'm not being cute here, get actually are claiming this is what tax revenue is spent on never realizing it's incredibly self serving spending in the first place, they have no idea how the house of cards is stacked and they are digging through the mechanisms blindly ripping things out.
What's is a "high five" in this context?
Moron cunts.
China and the liberals obviously!
Farmers who voted for Trump should have read project 2025.
They got 92% of his tariff money. By the way, if China doesn't buy our exported food, they'll get it from somewhere else. And once you lose a buyer, it's hard to lure them back. They have deals and negotiations and contracts with other nations. They're not going to just break those.
Maybe instead of jacking up the price because you're a racist prick, maybe consider not losing your biggest repeat customers.
China has been investing heavily into the Brazilian agricultural industry for that reason. Likely, even if the US drops tarrifs in the future, global supply would have adjusted to source American agricultural goods elsewhere.
The same thing happened to cotton after the American Civil War. The UK and France invested in other countries' cotton farms when they lost access to American cotton.
The plan then is to literally bomb the competition until the biggest repeat customers have no choice but to come back to us. It's not listed on Project 2025, though. And the ones that can't be bombed will be turned into puppet states, so either way, they come back. I doubt that their plan will actually unfold how they want, but we'll see.
Think of yourself as a buyer. A buyer for an entire nation.
Does the US look like a stable and cooperative partner?
I mean, shit, if you’re China, has it ever? I bet it’s real interesting to see your biggest buyer going on and on about your espionage and your “secret communist agenda”.
As if America doesn’t have a secret capitalist fascism agenda. lol
But he's the greatest businessman ever!
He’s a traitor and deserves a traitors fate.
This isn't a fate happening to him, it's happening to starving people.
Problem is that in their view of morality letting this food rot IS better than giving it to somebody for free, because getting free stuff weakens the recipients. They actually see forcing them to fend for themselves as doing them a favor. Or at least that's how they rationalize it.
Literally the ideology that made the Irish potato famine. The whole time the famine happened, Ireland was exporting food to England. And the English refused to give aid because it'd reward those pesky lazy overbreeding Irish poors. When they did send aid they refused to send milled corn so that those lazy starving Irish had to WORK for their damn corn gruel!
letting this food rot IS better than giving it to somebody for free
As Jesus intended.
- Republicans make government worse
- Blame democrats
- Profit
Half of America are legitimate morons
Yep, and it's super depressing.
drumpi is letting US grown food rot. blame him, for every failure.
The guy who wants to control everything, get the blame for everything that goes wrong.
That's just how it works.
literally the plot of Atlas Shrugged, except once again, it's capitalism demonstrating the evils that supposedly only happen under so-called "Communism."
Well Moran, wait until US agricultural exports fall off the cliff and every single fucking red voting farmer will be begging to increase farm subsidies which is SOCIALISM.
They'll get a couple failsons of the corporate owners to cosplay labor and tell media how they're too honest and free to stoop to such subsidies anyway, which is what we will see in the impending narrative.
Government cheese
USAID is one of the greatest acts of soft power that significantly increase favorability towards America for those whom life is saved thanks to its aid.
Attacking and dismantling US aid isnt just grossly stupid and irresponsible, its also a fundamentally traitorous attack against our own country, and an act of terrorism against those who survived thanks to it, only to find it suddenly cut off.
This dude needs to watch some Frozen and take a lesson from Elsa.
You stupid fuckers made your choices, deal assholes.
I can't root for his plea to fail because people may die. I hope they'll get themselves fucked in some other way.
I'll bet a case of beer that China will pick up the slack in peddling soft power in this vacuum that this administration leaves behind.
And Jerry will be R until the day he dies.
Does he sit and roll over as well?
