US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

"Though we control the House, the Senate, the White House and the Supreme Court, our inability to get a budget has nothing to do with our own incompetence but in fact a handful of Democrats."
SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown

People complaining about the Xbox ROG Ally being expensive should realize they can't do the subsidized pricing anymore because they opened the ecosystem on this device- you can buy on any digital storefront on it, so they aren't getting a cut from those purchases. That's why consoles are cheaper.

What’s happening right now is precisely why I wish more people paid attention to history class. I’ve been saying this was the inevitable conclusion of the right for over a decade since orange came on the scene.
What Trump is doing right now isn't "cancel culture." It's a modern version of the Red Scare. www.vox.com/on-the-right...

If you've never heard of Red Scare tactics, now is the time to learn about them and recognize them. There's a reason that those of us who grew up in countries run by money-addicted environment-destroying ghouls were raised to think communism is the enemy.

Governments erasing evidence that goes against their agenda famously always goes well for said government. Especially in the age of the internet.

What a bizarre spectacle it is to watch Democratic politicians and prominent opinionists on the center/center-left attempt to valorize Charlie Kirk.
It is not just utterly detached from the reality of who Kirk was/what he did – it also misunderstands why political violence is bad.
