This whole thing feels like déjà vu. We went through this exact same crap in the 80s farm crisis: overproduction, farmers drowning in debt, government policies that completely missed the mark. Watching it play out again is honestly pretty depressing. Like, we literally watched this movie before and still decided to hit rewind? Really hoping this doesn't end the same way, but the similarities are there.

How did it end last time?
well that depends on who you're rooting for in the class war. badly is if you're one of us. but 47's just finishing what 40 started
I am proletariat for sure.
Not bitter and unhappy enough to be part of the 1%.
The recession is the point; the rich will get richer (Musk and all the oligarchs)
The volatility of the tariffs is the point; BRIC will get stronger (Tulsi Gabbard's mission)
The erosion of liberties and the judicial system is the point; the zealots like Miller and Johnson and Flynn will consolidate power domestically.
Every part of America is being sold off, sabotaged, and stolen.
just have to get use to less dolls
These farmers are probably swimming in pencils
One kids have less dolls they’re free to work on the farm more.
I can't Bernie's not in office for his 3rd term. /s

Unless you didn't vote for this, in which case: my condolences.
Hope they suffer greatly
