Farmers association demands Congress investigate Trump beef deal ‘betrayal’

They even got the bumper stickers asking people not to tread on them

Edit: unrelated, but the reflecting pool should have had one of those bumper stickers

Subsidized farming is like Co-Cain.

The fucking farm kids that ended up in my workplace are the worst fucking assholes I've ever met.

They bitch and moan about the union, refuse to join it, and accuse unions of being too political. They don't trust the government and that's fine. But then they bitch and moan about the new contract. Mother fucker, they shafted us because we're at record low membership and they can get away with murder. As if the union wasn't fighting tooth and nail for a better contract.

Who do you trust more? The guy with his name on the building or the men and women working alongside you? Turns out, it's the guy with his name on the building.

I'm like 80% vegan. Still do bacon and eggs on the weekend and sometimes chicken with dinner. Even if everyone in the U.S. only became 50% vegan it would be pretty huge.

I feel like so many people think it's an "all or nothing" type of thing. Where either you're 100% vegan or you don't even bother with it.

You don’t have to go full vegan or vegetarian.

But it'd be cooler if you did 😎

So we can have more datacenters right??

Who has beef money nowadays anyway?

This is the way.

I had steak for the first time in like two years yesterday, it was incredible. It was a whole event, a good time all around

Then I picked up some produce and now I just started soaking some beans to cook for the week

A hardliner position is pretty much the least effective method imaginable to win people over. I'm convinced it's enemy action

You don't need to make people vegetarian, you shouldn't even put a vegan label on things. You just have to normalize not eating meat every meal

I've been replacing the minimal amount of ground beef we use with bison because it's good but also because I live with picky motherfuckers who won't eat Morningstar crumbles even though they taste fine to me.

My husband eats beef every meal I swear. I've stopped eating it entirely, best I can do.

only one of these isn't an inbreed chimera. And anit Halal.

Ungrateful ranchers!

Did these dumb fucks really think

No.

Yes.

GOP congresspeople: "Shh! You want to get us all primary-ed?"

You will keep getting fucked until you vote for people who aren't out to fuck you. Democrats are not excluded.

I forgot where I read it, but it's tainted beef not even China or Argentina wants. Literally the food poisoning administration.

How is it not going to hurt those farmers? Is there too much demand?

It's full of an ugly chemical.

Thats the best part! It wont! Labeling this frankenbeef with a lower price all but guarantees us beef will be left on the shelf, so the grocers will simply mark it up to nominal and pocket the difference. See? Trump cares about the small guy.

/s for those of the slower mental persuasion

We don't matter, man.

Well you see, they got rid of the FDA so all the alternative non beef foods (lettuce, eggs, bacon, etc) are poisoned now.

Also the beef is probably poisoned Argentina beef or possibly even horse meat.

Now this is purely theoretical and probably not true in real life, but if people buy more beef because they can afford it, they'll likely buy less of other foodstuffs and the prices of those would go down?

But in reality, yes, it's only really going to affect the prices of beef and MAYBE other meats (if people were buying e.g pork instead of beef due to cost).

The great Beef Beef,

Carnism <--> Fascism. It's blatant and overwhelming from a veg perspective.

From my perspective, good luck trying to defeat actual fascists while putting regular folks in the enemy bucket. You have very few allies, don’t throw them under the bus.

Are you claiming we evolved to be fascist?
