Like day 1? The pilgrims were literally religious extremists who wanted to force everyone to do what they wanted and more importantly to make people stop doing things they didn't like and had no qualms about genociding the indigenous peoples to accomplish the goal. We been shit the WHOLE time
These rural types are so blinded by cultural issues that they don't even know who's been buttering their bread, half of their produce is used to make biofuels, not free market www.reuters.com/sustainabili... The next Dem in the WH needs to get rid of this policy, this is costing us the Senate
I'm more concerned with farm land being bought out by major corporations and other countries and small farmers being pushed out so that markets can be cornered and we have less variety and easy access to food even in the areas where it's grown. It smacks of English tactics against the Irish.
Just ya know... rich against poor instead of nationality playing a factor. We need massive economic reform. And the rural types I get why they're upset, I'm in a very rural area. We get shit on constantly. The problem is the people around me can't see through the feces to see it's the rich shitting.
They picked Woodrow Wilson over Teddy Roosevelt, they've been voting Republican ever since the Civil Rights Act. They voted for Reagan inspite of him exaerbating the farm crisis of the 1980s. I'd advise you to move to a Blue city or to an Exurb of a Blue city, stop wasting your life on these guys
You gonna pay for me to move lol I'm stuck where I am. I'm in a blue state but a VERY red county. I think my county voted 80% trump iirc? It's also 95% white so... yea, that tracks. I can't leave. And I shouldn't have to. These miserable fucks deserve better whether they want it or not.
Ok, then try donating/supporting to YIMBY( Yes in my backyard ) friendly mayors for those Blue cities. If, for example, California cities had the same Urban density as Barcelona, those cities would be able to house 9 million more people, I'm sure that Blue dots in Red counties would love that
There's no changing this town or county honestly but I do what I can when I can to educate and help plant seeds for those I do interact with. Maybe with all the Epstein stuff though at least some of the minds around me will change, hopefully.
Within 10 yrs of the Watergate scandal, we had Reagan in the WH. If 47 goes down, they start swarming another BS artist. If you have to stay in a Red town try convincing young women that cuts to education hurt their kids the most, as well as other cultural issues, but you'd do better in a Blue city
Spoken like a real city kid. Those farmers raised the cows for your butter and the wheat for your bread. Next time you go to the market, ponder who grew what you are buying. I'm curious to know when this USDA report was published. This smells of more Trump propaganda.
