If Trump gets elected the fruits & vegetables will be rotting in the fields again & there won't be any for anyone to buy.
Fuck Trump but come on. There are enough things to fear about him without additional fearmongering about the productivity of our farms.
Do you not understand how farms in the USA work? I do. I own a fucking nursery. Farmers are my customers.
You obviously don't realize just how many farmers in Florida, Georgia & Alabama lost their ass or their entire livelyhood when their states enacted the kinds of immigration policies that Trump wants to implement nationwide.
Just remember that the powers-that-be have stated that we are not in a recession.
Don't look at evidence from your own eyes, don't depend on the news, don't depend on multiple studies showing the same thing. Just take it on faith that the economists know what's best for us. Blind faith.
Not all economic problems are a recession. Consumers are facing significant issues right now, but the overall economy is doing well.
Our issue is that all that wealth is mysteriously staying in the hands of large corporations.
Yes, when you ignore data that doesn't support your viewpoint.
Wow, you couldn't have come up with a more ironic statement...

We're not in a recession. The economy is growing precisely because grocery store prices are rising. The thing we are measuring - year over year increases in inflation-adjusted business revenue - is only defined as "not a recession" when industry profits are rising.
If grocery prices were falling and wages were outpacing investment returns and state programs had cash left over because fewer people needed them, we'd see a flood of money leaving the agricultural sector and a sharp reduction in output as capital scrambled to protect itself from declining returns. And that would result in a recession.
Having a healthy citizenry pays for itself, elected leaders are shortsighted
No shit
POOKIE LETS BURN THIS MOTHERFUCKA DOWN. If they bring this back, will all these idiots migrating to my state go back home? Or is this the kind of stuff that made them leave?
so what
lot of states do not even get programs like this
maybe Californians should have to live like the rest of the United States or these should be federal programs for all
senior centers in the states feed the older population expired old food that sometimes has not been properly stored or matches their required diets
states are also reducing food stamp benefits so this is just another article about California again whining about not have things nobody else got to begin with
Don't blame another state. If you arnet happy you should look to get new elected officials and improve your state not tear other people/states down.
They are a perfect example of "crab in a bucket" mentality.
There have been models of capitalism that favor government interventions, they are just not prevalent now-a-days. With a model like that, for the US, Keynes provided the golden years of capitalism:

yes the problem is me and everyone else not voting right
hard to vote with politicians like Biden and Trump helping to take voting rights away
So what's the problem then? You seem to be upset about a federal program that isn't in your state. That's not California or the people who live there fault. Enlighten me.
Yeah, voting is not enough, instead of arguing and spreading despair, you can organize and be active...
I'll bite.
I know what rights were destroyed under the Trump regime, what rights has Biden taken away, Mr. Muhbothsides?
They won't answer you because it's a baseless troll statement they made. Muhbothsides! 🤣🤣 love it
That's right! Run away!
