That was more than 1/2 a lifetime ago before tens of millions of Illegal Aliens started taking middle class skilled labor jobs away from US Citizens.

So it's not all Joe's Fault?

You know as well as I do corps love the cheap labor.  You complain about it and say we should pay white boys good money  to shovel our shyt.
This issue is decades old, and the previous 250 years depended on immigration to make this country great to be squandered by the likes of orange douchebag.

The Piggies are gonna crash. Bubbles are going to burst.

You are 100% on board with all society debasing [[[JWO AGENDA]]] social trends.
The mass  Illegal Alien invasions of the USA and Europe are biggies.
The only [[[JWO]]] related issues you oppose is the expansion of Israel and some manipulations of our economy..

I’m glad I broke out of the corporate cult mindset. I used to cheer for big business, thinking it showed the free market at work, until I asked who was really benefiting. 

Quick breakdown:
Only a handful of corporations own the buyer and seller market for farmers. Hardly any competition. In fact, some of these corporations merged, so they just compete with each other. The buyers low ball the farmers and the sellers increase their prices. The farmers are the middle guy getting molested on both ends. 

Analogy: Think of a town with only one employer and one landlord. The employer announces that wages will be decreasing and the landlord announces that rent will be increasing. However, because we live in the land of free market capitalism, the employer can just say "well, if you don't like it, then you have the freedom to find another employer." Actually, no they don't. Then the landlord says "well, if you don't like it, then you have the freedom to live somewhere else." Actually, no they don't. 

And before the MAGA crowd starts in with how Trump provided a 115 billion dollar aid package to the farmers, just know that the money only goes through the hands of the farmer. It doesn't stay with them. It goes to pay down their debt to the banks. 

Therefore, in short, The government once again bailed out the banks, supported the choking of competition, and bent over the little man without lube. Shocker. That never happens.

Farming is a risky business:

According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) analysis of data from the 2007 and 2012 Censuses of Agriculture, approximately 51.9% of beginning farms do not survive their first five years. 

Trying to buy yourself a job doesn't always work out.

I can understand your sentiment on the corporate cult mindset, you are not alone. You probably still invest in them, no?

Those assholes have increased my net worth $90k this year. It could all disappear next year but they appear to be doing a good job, maybe tighten the screws down a bit?

The family farm continues to pump out profits year after year after year. Maybe AI will help the struggling farmers?

You can join my chapter of corporate cult, I'll even wave the fee!!

I do not understand why farmers would want to get into such a risky business in the first place. I understand that there are risks in every business. However, there are risks, then there are business landmines. It appears these days that farming is stepping on a landmine.

In case you're wondering why no politician is running on pushing for a Fed Chair that will raise interest rates and pop the asset bubble, they saw Carter do that with Volcker and Reagan getting all the credit for the "economic boom."

Nobody wants to be Carter and take the blame for something that isn't their fault.

On October 15, 1982, President Reagan signed the Garn-St. Germain Act. It was a hallmark piece of Reagan’s agenda to deregulate the banking industry. With the stroke of his pen, Reagan officially removed the regulations governing the Savings and Loan Industry that had been in place since the 1930s. The end result could not have been entirely unexpected: massive failures in the Savings and Loan Industry allowing major banking powers to acquire their weaker counterparts for pennies on the dollar, much as they had during the Great Depression.

This write up makes Reagan look fairly successful...https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/reaganomics.asp

BTW...the word I got from a local builder is the Japs  get choice lumber these days because they are willing to pay the price. 
I buy local, slow growth Douglas Fir that is about twice as heavy and strong than the flimsy junk you usually find at stores like Lowes.
When looking at the engineering tables for max allowable spans it's nice to know the wood you are using is up to standards/
I think a lot of Pro Builders prefer the lighter stuff for all of the wrong reasons.....

Nebraska did not give a phook if they were legal or not for the last two decades.

The meat makers jacked themselves.

So many cows and no place to go because the immies split to evade the Homan/Miller Mass Deportation Express.

Thanks for pointing out the immigrant issue is bipartisan and decades old.  Joe may have been too liberal at the border, but the root cause of the issue is not solely on his admin and not solely democrats trying to make voters as MAGA claims.

How many of the Somalians are eligible to vote in Minnesota?  I just don't believe a ticket to ride in the USA is an automatic right to get in a booth and pull levers.

Well, I'll vet my own bias vvvvvvvvvv...Looks like I am wrong..  I don't know the timeline to citizenship or the process. But they can vote and it looks like most of them can.

As of 2025, approximately 95,000 to 102,000 Somali Americans in Minnesota are estimated to be U.S. citizens, which is the primary legal requirement for voting eligibility. 
While there is no single database that tracks "eligible voters" by specific ethnicity, the following breakdown from 2025 census data and community estimates provides a clear picture of the potential voting bloc:
Citizenship and Population Statistics

• Total Population: There are approximately 107,000 to 108,000 people of Somali descent living in Minnesota.
• Citizenship Rate: Community leaders and data analysis estimate that up to 95% of the Somali community in Minnesota holds U.S. citizenship.
• Birthplace Data: Roughly 58% of the state's Somali population were born in the U.S. (automatic citizens). Of those born outside the U.S., an overwhelming majority (87%) are naturalized citizens. 

Factors Affecting Eligibility

• Age: Minnesota's Somali population is generally younger than the state average. Eligibility requires being at least 18 years old on Election Day.
• Non-Citizens: Approximately 5% to 15% of the population may be ineligible due to non-citizen status, including green card holders (legal permanent residents) and those on Temporary Protected Status (TPS). 

Voting Power in Minnesota
The Somali community has become a potent voting bloc, particularly in the Twin Cities. 

• Concentration: Approximately 84,000 Somali Americans live in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, with nearly 50,000 residing in Hennepin County.
• Voter Turnout: While eligibility is high, actual turnout varies. In some key Somali-concentrated neighborhoods like Cedar-Riverside, turnout was reported at roughly 50% in the 2024 general election.
