Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.
Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.
Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Couldn't have said it better. Might as well get an AI to exercise or play soccer for me
I'm not willing to pay any money for personal projects. If I'm doing it on my own time, it's because I want to do that thing (write, make videos, etc.). I'm fine using AI for free to help, but I can't make a case for spending money to be "more efficient" at having fun. Why do it then?

This, I think, may end up being an underrated factor. The Trump voters I know - and I do know a few - all voted the way they did assuming Trump II would be a rerun of Trump I, which they understood as 'some bad tweets, but mostly normal GOP policy,' minus the early 'new at this' growing pains.
I do actually think the electorate will respond to the behavior of the Trump administration, presuming the same trends at 2024 or 2020 is very silly because this is a very different government! Extremely different than even Trump I

Also, it's really weird how this conversation always revolves around "Making farm jobs good enough for Americans."
Farm jobs should be good jobs no matter who's doing them.
Even a lot of self-described progressives seem to have a hard time getting that!

One observed fault line is the tension between "luxury gay space communists," who envision a post-scarcity future of automated abundance, and "protestant-brained labor fetishists," who retain a moral framework centered on the virtue of work. This is a recurring ideological conflict on the network.
