Cattle ranchers are making less money in the US despite beef prices at an all-time high. In the meantime, Trump started importing beef from Argentina to lower beef prices, but only achieved to lower cattle prices.

Trump supporting cattle ranchers weren’t happy

    Reuters spoke with a total of eight ranchers who said they still backed Trump, though he hurt prices for their cattle.

    Wilful stupidity when they vote. Wilful stupidity when they reap the consequences too. You’re supposed to learn something from FAFO.

    Have the life you voted for.

      Man, I remember seeing an image of farmers saying “We survived 8 years of Obama, you can survive Trump.” If they could be humiliated properly they would be given how many DIDN’T and WON’T survive Trump. These people are just malicious to their core, hype individualistic, brainwashed peons with little redeeming value than the knowledge we can squeeze from them for others to take over. Even then, it’s not like that information is heavily gate kept anymore.

      Funny, my liberal blue ass is still doing okay in my blue city. Things are more expensive but overall not much has changed for me. Personally I voted blue to help those in need, expand snap, healthcare, and benefits even though in all likelihood I won’t need them.

      Meanwhile they voted to “own” me, whatever that means. I don’t feel owned, but as long as they feel better without those benefits I guess?

        I feel pretty owned as long as I’m paying hundreds of dollars a month for healthcare, still having to pay when I use that healthcare, and being threatened with death/lack of healthcare if I leave my job.

        I thought Republicans were supposed to be about independence.

        I don’t have room to start my own small business unless I marry someone who can cover our healthcare.
