That must mean the United States is kicking ass….our poor people are the most obese faction among us.

/—-/ True. I blame processed food and refined sugar.

‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’​

/——/ Trump talking about his generals.

Neat.

The way to resolve that is not wealth distribution or pity. There must be a culture shift in those communities.

We have all heard the old proverb give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

We have given the poor fishing poles, bait, boats, and fish finders and yet many choose to sit in the house waiting on the fish to arrive at the door step…and it does. They teach their kids to ignore the tools they have been given because why put forth the effort if it is going to be delivered for free. Sure, they could perhaps catch a bigger fish and have something to mount on the wall, but the effort exceeds the reward. Many would prefer to complain that the fish delivered to their doorstep isn’t of sufficient quality and size and demand more for “free” rather than crank up the boat and bait their lines.

There are extenuating circumstances in some cases, but not in the majority.

As I said, the low waged are despised in the US and treated with due contempt.

Trump's Supporters In Rural Areas Are In For A Nasty Surprise

Buyer’s remorse is rampant since Trump and the GOP barely won the election. Muslim Americans in Michigan who supported Trump are now begging Biden to save Gaza from escalation from Bibi. Wall Street executives are alarmed by Trump’s tariffs. Hispanics in south Florida are freaking out about the mass deportation scheme. Weren’t they paying attention before the election?

Now it’s the farmers who are sounding the alarm about Trump’s plans to carry out his promises to jack up tariffs and deport 10 to 15 million immigrants. Apparently, they thought Trump was bloviating and didn’t really mean to carry out his promises. That’s a common talking point on the right these days. I thought Trump meant what he said.

Rural America has been the foundation of MAGA Republican support. In 2024, Trump won rural voters by an overwhelming margin of 64% to 32% over Harris. Moreover, Trump won over 77% of the popular vote, on average, in the nation’s most farming dependent counties.

Trump’s loyal supporters in the nation’s farm belt are (justifiably) worried that Trump is going to badly damage their $1.5 trillion industry. His extreme deportation plan is causing widespread panic among farmers at risk of losing workers and business. Agricultural output will decline between $30 and $60 billion if Trump’s signature deportation policy is carried out.

The soybean and grain dependent Midwest is especially at risk, since this part of the country needs the federal government’s program that allows certain companies to bring foreign workers into the U.S. to fill temporary agriculture jobs. The forced removal of immigrant farm workers will badly hurt Nebraska.

A study released last month by the National Corn Growers Association found another failed Trump trade war with China could cost U.S. soybean and corn farmers as much as $7.3 billion in annual production value.

These people voted for Trump because they were scared of trans women using girls bathrooms or the 1 or 2 trans girls nationwide that might actually want to play sports. Now look at what they are facing.

Election is won

Why do demofks do that?

Even left wing California recognizes the problem.

Hmmm. Looks like anti union practise to me. And to everyone except slack jawed yokels.

California to Change Labor Law That Cost Businesses $10 Billion

California's largest business and labor groups agreed to change a landmark law that has helped workers sue companies such as Walmart Inc., Uber

www.insurancejournal.com

The negotiations over the law mirrored an increasingly familiar playbook in California, where companies often look to sidestep the state legislature’s Democratic super-majority by funding ballot measures that would take their arguments directly to voters. They can then use the prospect of a costly ballot fight to force talks overseen by the governor’s office.​

Why do demofks do that?

Because, like Rightards, they're imbued with the spirit of American selfishness and society as a feeding frenzy, not having moved away from Pullman railway times.

The “low waged” lie at the root of nearly ALL of our societal woes. I believe we despise filthy pieces of degenerate dogshit most of whom happen to be “low waged”.
