Summary
Michigan farmer Rebecca Carlson, a longtime Trump supporter, faces bankruptcy as Trump’s funding freezes stall a $400,000 USDA grant for hiring temporary workers.
Carlson, who hoped Trump’s second term would revive her struggling cherry farm, already spent $200,000 preparing for labor under the H-2A visa program.
With funding halted, she risks losing $200,000 more and can’t move forward with critical hires.
Trump’s new tariffs and immigration crackdowns threaten agriculture costs and labor availability, leaving farmers uncertain and frustrated with unmet promises.
Sorry, I would care. But your leader told me that empathy is humanity’s biggest weakness.
That said. How the fuck can the richest country in the world have less social security than any country in Europe? How the fuck do you even survive until your 18?
We’re only the richest country in the world because we have roughly a football-stadium sized number of billionaires and multi-millionaires. The remaining 300+ million of us have largely been brainwashed to believe we need to sacrifice everything to prop them up.
