If someone wanted to harm USA agriculture they'd do 5 things.
1. Deport labor, make work in USA inhospitable
2. Start tariff wars that end US commodity crop exports
3. Fire experts in transmissible livestock disease
4. Invite/subsidize foreign meat competition
5. Tell farmers how much I love them.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is.
This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

The Boots Theory is an economic theory that people in poverty have to buy cheap and subpar products that need to be replaced repeatedly, proving more expensive in the long run than more than the expensive items the wealthy only need to buy once.

The pretexts for these paramilitary takeovers don’t matter
They’re lies
Don’t buy into their narrative
They’re normalizing military takeovers
That should be the opposing narrative, not crime rates which let them steer the conversation
WE should steer it
