Me thinks this is to bail out our farmers who benefit from the China tariffs...those tariffs will surely be shaken or broken due to China’s batshit.

This may initiate the walkaway movement from ChiComs.

I’m a farmer. Fighting with China has hurt us a lot, but I understand the end game. Drop in oil has hurt oil/ethanol prices, so corn has taken a hit as well as soybeans.

Indeed. We’re all caught in the crossfire. some more than others especially with your responsibilities, assets.

I support these bailouts for our farms. The banks don’t make anything but profits from grief. Along with Wall Street- they can piss off. A reduction in payroll taxes would also go a long way for all.

Thank you for the support.

What is Wall Street though? An exchange of stocks. Selling stock is a way to raise money for your business and expand your operations. I don’t for my farm, but stock is a valuable way to expand business, so I don’t want Wall Street to take it in the ass either, that represents thousands of businesses taking a hit in their ability to grow.

I wish it was that simple. An example is Insider trading from hacks like congress and senate- that’s not just an exchange of stocks. Many folks are playing with Wall Street capital via 401k’s and don’t get the bailout of poor investment strats like the hogs get bailed out.

Tech garbage is overvalued when compared to actual essentials. Biotechs using their stock base as an atm.

In a vacuum it’s fine
