Trump administration officials say new trade deals and aid could ease the strain, but many farmers are struggling to stay afloat.

      Wouldn’t be the first time they’ve renamed a food to solve a geopolitical problem!

      At least Freedom Fries was because they were mad at France, and Liberty Cabbage was because of an active war… this would be far less justifiable! Not that anyone in charge over there cares anymore.

    Honestly the logical conclusion would be for Argentina to export American soy to China.

      Yeah basically they’d typically export them whole - the varieties aren’t for human consumption due genetic modification less for palatability and more for oils- where they’d be processed for animal feed and oils abroad, then import the end products. Now they’re trying to build the infrastructure for domestic processing, but imo that’s far too little far too late. Not to mention the chud-vernment has blasted anti soy propaganda (for industrial/biofuels and human food) for so long that there isn’t as much domestic market for most of the finished products.

      So they’ll probably just do what they can to process it domestically and then swap soy-oil into all of the products they can (probably labelled as a “green alternative” to palm oil)

        And they could probably technically just be given to livestock in raw form (rather than the remaining meal following oil extraction), but that would likely mean a few less cents per bushel into porkys pocket, and would probably piss off the corn industry.

        Hilariously ironic, because a diet heavier in beans and corn could feed a domestic markets protein needs much more effectively than the industrial torture and systematic massacre of animals fed by those industries byproducts.

          “Wait. You’re feeding all the beans to the farm animals? When you could just… let people eat the beans?”

          I don’t even like most meats. I do like quite a lot of beans I’ve tried. I am one commie who would not be mad about this shift “After the Revolution”, lol.

            A futures trader and a commodities trader take turns profiting from exploiting every thing around them. After a while one turns to the other and says “it kinda feels like we’ve destroyed the biosphere while contributing nothing meaningful to society at large.” “Nonsense,” the other replies, “think of the gdp!”

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
