    Bail them out now, and then what? Their international customers aren’t coming back if they already found comparable trade partners elsewhere, and the non-billionaires here are tapped out from high food prices. Won’t they just need another bailout sooner than later?

      It’s actually quite simple. Bail them out now, wait for the midterms. Let the farmers go bankrupt next year so mega corporations buy up their foreclosed fam land. Then the mega corporations and billionaires get to privatize the profits and socialize the loses. There’s no better investment than that.

        Yep. They get to “own the libs”, but the megacorporations will get to own their farms. Cons are not really great at thinking shit through. Being the emotionally flighty people that they are, but ironically, calling everyone to their left a “snowflake”, they are easily manipulated…
