Sure you have, it was called Trump’s first term.
MARC ANDEREESON wanted to buy up farm land in Solarno CA, for his “California Forever” private owned town.
Thiel has expressed similar.
Musk has his own corporate town (Starbase, Texas).
Bezos has an area of Malaysia.
Zuck has parts of Hawaii.
Sam Altman invests in a private town in Honduras.
…they ALL want private towns, fifedoms to rule over in America. And by rule over, I mean SETTING THEIR OWN LAWS.
This is happening.
Anyways, I’m sure this story on Trump bankrupting farmers is completely unrelated. I certainly have no evidence it’s related. But I think it’s concerning (farmers refusing to sell large tracts of America is what held up the “California Forever” project).

what i hear from locals (mom moved there) is he wanted to buy the dump outside town on which to build his little billionaireburg.
“fuckin whoops”
But at least the leopards are still well-fed
Modern day leopard farmers canNOT understand why grain and soybean farmers forgot where their bootstraps are.
Force the farmers to pay back the bailouts back. Hypocrisy needs to carry severe monetary punishments
Don’t worry! Trump will hand them $12 billion like he did last time.
“One for you, three for me, one for you, three for me…”
I guess they have very short memories
Well, at least they don’t have to worry about “liberals” inflicting horrible thoughts on them via Colbert or Kimmel.
Are they tired of all the winning yet?
According to the bots in r/Conservative, they are not.
Because conservative ideology requires an other to rally hate against so the base and core voters don’t realize its the elites and party leaders adding suffering to common folk lives for the elites short term benefit.
Wisdom is chasing them, but they are faster.

They are fucking celebrating in the streets. I am getting so sick of leftists feeling smug about any of this. There is no justice, we are not uniting for any actual resistance movement, we can’t even agree on what issues are important to fight and the average liberal is too comfortable still to do anything.
The farmers will get yet another bailout/bribe to keep quiet, it won’t impact people broadly, it will fall off the news cycle as they go on to strip away more rights from people and continue to build a fascist empire before leaving the nation a dying husk after all wealth is extracted.
By then, most people will have grown up in that world or forgotten what our country could have been and it will be normal life, as the handful of other nations who resisted fascism soar ahead. The experiment is over, it had a good run.
The consequences don’t just effect one side. Musk now has his own town, Starbase, Texas. Marc Andreeson isn’t far behind.
There is no being smug, the precedents will have far reaching effects.
We can set our own precedents just like we had to with company towns in the 1800s. I heard about a man named Luigi who supposedly created a similar precedent in the modern era.
They wont get any sympathy from me. They voted for it and they got what was coming to them.
Complains that Americans are too lazy to milk cows and doesn’t realize they are part of that group. Doubt they will learn anything.
I’ll buy tofu $1 per pound
A really good piece on the realities of this topic is here: https://youtu.be/badGHJLDpP8
TL;DW: Farmers thought they were voting for cheap labor and a bailout, like they got last time. They also thought that, as wealthy landowners1, they were on the “right side” of these disastrous trade policies and were going to be carried through this mess.
1. I struggled with this concept at first. Things have changed a lot since the pre-WWII era that conjures up images of Ma & Pa Kent in a weathered century-home, on a lonely corn farm in Kansas. It’s big business now. Good farm land isn’t cheap, equipment is expensive, (legitimate) labor is expensive, fertilizer & irrigation costs a lot, pest control costs, crops are risky in general, and so on. When you work out how much money is moving around and what a farm’s net worth is, these people are millionaires even if they’re not in the black all the time.
What’s really funny to people outside of the US is that cheap labour and a bailout is exactly what they would hve received from Harris.
Agreed. Considering that the alternative to that is always higher food prices, it’s political suicide to not do this.
Unless you are planning on not having elections.
Oh also a Democrat farmer’s perspective on this white debacle of Republican proportions.
Thanks for the link!
lmaoooooo fuck ‘em they shouldn’t have been that fucking stupid and greedy.
