Ranchers are being ordered to euthanize harvest ready cattle, while at the same time, meat is being shipped in to the US. Milk is being poured out by the truck load. And then there’s this:

Keep eyes on our food sources, patriots. See something; say something
I dont wanna take anything away from this cause something stinks and it's either wrong or a shame.... but WTF are we doing with a farm with 7 MILLION chickens on it?
There used to be small farmers and homesteaders from sea to shining sea. Now there are pro gamers and youtubers.
Maybe if nothing else is learned from this well learn to get back to our roots.
And before you say I'm just whistling dixie... I still grow a garden every year, raise chickens, can/freeze harvest and I worked damn hard and made some sacrifices to get this couple acres outside of town. We still live in a USA where you all could do it
Hard to raise chickens in a one bedroom apt. I mean you could do it, but it's gonna stink like hell. All those people living in all those cities either can't, won't, or don't know how to raise their own food. Mostly I believe it's can't. Takes a certain amount of real estate to grow your own, and probably close to half the population in the country doesn't have that real estate. Cities are bad for hoomans.
To hell with the cities.
I'm talking about communities of 25K-65K that are losing their roots.
I visited a third world town a few years ago. Lots people there raising their own chickens. The place stank like hell. The chickens probably piss and crap all over the place. There were rain storms every other day during my stay and one would think the stink would wash away. It didn't help.
As someone that grew up on a farm, no, rain doesn't do jack. Livestock stinks. Chickens, though, chickens are the worst. Cowshit over chickenshit any day of the week.
RAISING BIRDS IN APARTMENTS IS HOW CHINA GAVE US BIRD FLU.
Sorry, caps lock was on.
We moved out of the city in Jan of 16 to two acres, been renovating and doing the same.
I'm well aware of this.
Meanwhile a way of life that was fulfilling, sustainable and LOCAL is dying. Come visit rural communities in Kentucky sometime. Many of the communities I know are dried up husks of themselves... and only 40 years ago they were thriving with local stores and local economies. I remember when there was a slaughterhouse in every community and we didn't rely on IPB in Kansas City for our beef. My point is a resurrection of that way of life would probably be a good thing for our country.
Keep in mind that a lot of the socialist tendencies you see and decry directly come from people not being self-sufficient. Its pretty hard to have the individualistic American spirit when you rely on everyone else to keep you alive... agreed?
Agreed. Wholeheartedly.
Regulatory capture. Same thing that happens when countries join the EU. The only companies that can comply with all the regulations are the big processors. Then they flaunt the law by hiring illegals or getting the state to import low wage workers.
Oh but its not.
Everything was much cheap comparatively based on cost of living in 1960.
The below site says that $1 dollar in 1960 would be worth $8 in 2020.
