Trump's farmer bailout will primarily go to massive row-crop farmers. Big Ag as they say. Smaller and diversified farms are getting something else - it rhymes with shackjit.
Trump is going to dump tens of $ billions in payments for huge commodity farmers to compensate for huge losses they will suffer from his idiotic trade war. Meanwhile, small farmers growing for local markets will get nothing. Just canceled grants and "thoughts and prayers". wapo.st/3YXdAbU
A Kansas family farm, barely getting by, grapples with Trump’s cuts
Like many of his rural neighbors in northeast Kansas, Jacob Thomas is trying to compensate for deep losses in federal funding. There’s worry and anger.

Who would ever voluntarily choose to live under the demented monarchical plutocracy our Supreme Court is creating for Trump? How is this a remotely rational way to structure a government?

The Ellisons are extremely bad people with extremely bad motives
Secret meetings with David Zaslav in Beverly Hills. Secret Zooms with John Malone. Secret lunches and dinners presenting offers.
The Ellison family spent months trying to woo Zaslav and WBD, before launching their hostile takeover attempt.

Ellison’s Endgame
What began as quiet courtship by David Ellison has morphed into a hostile takeover attempt of Warner Bros. Discovery—with the battle only likely to get messier in the days ahead.

LEAVE Twitter already, folks. Get the fuck off there.
The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

This is true. Canada isn't the only one making plans with other trade partners in an effort to disentangle its economy from America, and the new partnerships Canada forges, as well as the ones it strengthens and leans more heavily on, will be permanent. What Trump has lost America will never regain.
