    Exports are where the pain and blood are going to kick in.

    All those soybeans, pork and wheat farmers used to sell to China? Gone, gone, gone. China has made deals elsewhere for all that it’s never coming back.

    It’s gone and they don’t need the US farmers anymore.

    Next up, trump and his regime will initiate a bailout of the Farmers because they destroyed their market. National Debt… another trillion or two added.

      It’s worse than that. Sure China is huge, but the entire world is boycotting US goods. It’s far far worse than what your pointing out. But we’ll, maybe this is a good thing. Fuck USA.

        Feels real bad man. A lot of people that voted against this are going to suffer. For perspective 74.9 million people voted for Harris. That’s greater than the entire population of France (68.3 million).

        The number of people that didn’t want this is massive. But a few more people in this country did want this so now millions have to suffer.

        Maybe the depression this causes will give the US a chance. We seem to only have progressive reform when the economy collapses. When the economy is good voters shift to destroying the system because it’ll “lower their taxes”. Maybe Americans are a lost cause

      Good. Food shouldn’t be grown for profit at all and shouldn’t be exported. Time to nationalize all the agrobusinesses who “can’t survive” without paying slave wages to export millions of gallons of subsidized water to foreign countries for pennies.
