Kansans created Food for Peace, for 70 years a font of rural income and pride. Now at least one grain broker is trying to sell grain that once fed the world as dog food....

The Trump administration said the programs were inefficient and wasteful, “with dubious results.” It was the latest blow to farmers, particularly in Kansas, where about 80 percent of those on the high plains voted for Mr. Trump and agriculture makes up almost half of the state’s economy. The president’s whipsawing tariffs and cuts to agriculture grants and global food aid have left the state with swollen silos, shrinking markets and volatile prices for crops.....

Wheat prices have fallen by nearly $1.50 per bushel since February, well below the price farmers need to break even. “I would lay a huge amount of that right at the feet of Donald J. Trump,” Mr. Ehmke said.

Mr. Ehmke is a registered Republican, and says that for a Kansas farmer, “changing how you vote is, honest to God, like changing your religion.” But America’s farm sector is already shrinking, and he says Mr. Trump’s moves are bringing that bleak future to pass “a hell of a lot quicker. So I am pissed at him.”..

Mr. Marshall echoed Mr. Musk’s claims that U.S.A.I.D. was rife with “waste, fraud and abuse” and said that “we were sending food over to these foreign countries and corrupt governments and criminals and warlords were stealing it.” The crowd jeered.

 Mr. Marshall’s answer incensed Mrs. Ehmke. “Show me the data, Roger Marshall, about waste, fraud, abuse and warlords,” she said. “This is my living at stake here. What is your plan?”

Clearly Mrs Ehmke doesn't get it.....it's not about facts, it's about slogans.
 
 

But there's good news...

Appears there may be a cure for Kansas Stupid.

Move out.

Nick Levendofsky, the executive director of the Kansas Farmers Union, has been lobbying to preserve the food programs, but when he speaks publicly he often gets responses from people saying farmers’ troubles are their own fault.

 “Trump’s tariffs badly injured Kansas farmers in his first term, and your members were stupid enough to vote for him again in 2020 and 2024,” read one letter he received from a descendant of Kansas farmers living in Florida. “Every farm bankruptcy that comes — and come they will — will be a direct consequence of your members voting for the guy who already hurt them once.”

(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump has pledged to protect American farmers who rely on migrant workers to operate their farms, but until Thursday, details of how that would work remained limited. 


But at a rally in Iowa, Trump said that he would allow the farmers who hire migrants to take charge and allow the migrants working in the agricultural industry to remain in the country.


The plan would not create a path to citizenship as some immigration advocates have called for, but would protect them from the possibility of being detained by ICE agents during workplace raids, Trump said. “If a farmer has been with one of these people that worked so hard – they bend over all day, we don’t have too many people that can do that, but they work very hard, and they know him very well, and some of the farmers are literally, you know, they cry when they see this happen,” Trump said. “If a farmer is willing to vouch for these people, in some way … I think we’re going to have to just say that’s going to be good, right?”

Either A, B, C, or D.

Let me break this down for your dumb ***. You see the 4 options to the question? Every option includes your definition, but only one is an example of survivorship bias. Your definition was half assed. Like all of your content.

When a sample fails to reflect "mortality" in the population being examined.

or

"Sampling error"

Which scenario is an example of survivorship bias in evaluating business success?

A) Believing that reading business books increases revenue after finding many CEOs recommend them.
B) Concluding that most startups fail after analyzing bankrupt companies.
C) Thinking entrepreneurship is easy because most media profiles focus on successful founders.
D) Surveying customers to understand why they chose your product over competitors
