Don't forget the bolded addition.  It is very, very, very important.  They want government to hurt people.  That is the #1 purpose and function of government, to the GQP voter.  The only time they get mad is -- and these are their words -- when he's "hurting the wrong people."  That's it.  Not that it hurts people, but that it hurts the wrong (white) people.

I think it is a little more nuanced than that.  I think the xenophobia and the others is just part of the program to enrich themselves and gain power.   In the future they will look towards reconciliation after they lose another war, and quietly agree that the real problem were the Jews.

Harding to Coolidge to Hoover. The rise of "conservatism" as we know it in US politics. When Americans flocked to it and their shit policies, continuation of prohibition, and rejection of regulation let to overextended financial systems, a corrupt market, and finally the big crash and depression. 

Americans making the same mistake 100 years later. The lessons of early 20th century conservatism causing the collapse of the country were completely forgotten by 1980 and here we are again. 

Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.  Didn’t need no welfare state.

Yeah. Every accusation is a confession exhibit 350 million. Of course, what they MEANT was “if a minority gets it, it’s evil welfare/socialism…if I get it, it’s what I’ve got coming to me as a good American.”

I would trade all 78 million of them for just a few of the Brazilians out in the streets across their country reminding the politicians that Bolsonaro messed around and found out and that there will not be a repeat of the amnesty mistake again.

Yeah, they're 100% behind growing the US manufacturing base but they don't' want to be the ones shouldering the personal financial burden. I get it, I don't want to as well. Instead of "toughing it out", in Trump's words, they want a handout.

At least they have Senator Tuberville to use his giant brain to come up with a solution to this problem.

I forgot to point out the “May” in “May face devastating shortage of workers under Trump immigration crack down”.

Even though the content of the article says that all of these rock-rib republican business people have concluded that they are fucked right now - and will be fucked for the foreseeable future...

….like, the Bama media can’t cross that line and actually say TFG’s immigration policies are fucking everyone.  That would be a bridge too far in Trumplandia.

Another nail in the coffin for soybean farmers. Dipshits voted for this.

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinese-buyers-book-least-10-argentine-soybean-cargoes-sources-say-2025-09-23/

Chinese buyers booked at least 10 cargoes of Argentine soybeans after Buenos Aires scrapped grain export taxes, three traders said on Tuesday, dealing another setback to U.S. farmers already shut out of their top market and hit by low prices.

Argentina's temporary tax move boosts the competitiveness of its soybeans, prompting traders to secure cargoes for fourth-quarter inventories in China, a period usually dominated by U.S. shipments but now clouded by Washington's trade war with Beijing.

...

"Every time China turns to South America instead of the U.S., soybean farmers and our farm families here at home lose out," said Caleb Ragland, a farmer from Magnolia, Kentucky, and president of the American Soybean Association.

"Without a trade deal that removes retaliatory tariffs, farmers like me are left watching key opportunities slip away."

...

China, the world's biggest buyer of soybeans, has yet to purchase any U.S. soybean cargoes from its autumn harvest, traders have said.

"These deals were done last night after Argentina's decision on export tax," said one of the traders, declining to be identified as they were not authorised to speak with media. "It clearly means that China doesn't need U.S. beans."

On Friday, Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump held a phone call but neither side reported any update on agriculture, further squeezing Chicago soybean futures already near five-year lows.

After Argentina scrapped its export tax, Chicago soybean futures set a six-week low on Tuesday.

"China is trying to avoid the U.S. during our export window," said Ted Seifried, chief market strategist for Zaner Ag Hedge in Chicago. "The timing is really perfect for them."

Earlier this month, Reuters reported that China had nearly completed soybean purchases for October shipment and booked around 15% of its November needs, all from South America. By that time in previous years, traders said, China would have bought 12-13 million tons from the U.S. for September-November shipment.

They thought they'd benefit from the cessation of all the handouts they imagined their hardworking immigrants were getting. Surely no one will detain or terrify your hardworking immigrants away from working hard at low wages and no benefits so you can brag about bottom line.

Nope. No transfer of (more) government benefits to you because eliminating imaginary handouts yields no money. Oh, and your labor force is diminished or gone altogether.

You bought into the fear and hate of brown immigrants. You voted hate and fear. You delighted in cruelty towards them. Now, dumbass, you wonder why they're not coming around like they used to. You villify people who come here, work hard, and send money to family in horrible places. You ever try that, dickhead? They're largely better people than you. And me for that matter.

You didn't make a political or policy decision while deciding your vote. You voted your spittle.

From the Midland Reporter-Telegram:

Dallas Fed: Energy companies suffer another lackluster quarter
Pessimism and uncertainty continue to prevail in the oil and gas sector, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas’ quarterly energy survey.

The survey’s business activity index, the broadest measure of conditions facing Eleventh District energy firms, was negative 6.5 in the third quarter, suggesting a small decline in activity since the second quarter survey. The uncertainty index remained high at 44.6.

“It was another lackluster quarter,” Kunal Patel, senior business economist at the Dallas Fed, said. Activity levels and production levels were both down slightly while costs continued to increase, he said.

Approximately 78% of exploration and production executives responding to the survey indicated their firms have delayed investment decisions in response to heightened uncertainty surrounding oil prices and the cost of producing oil.

Oil prices are hovering just below break-even prices so activity has experienced a slight decline, Patel said.

“The U.S. shale business is broken. What was once the world’s most dynamic energy engine has been gutted by political hostility and economic ignorance,” wrote one respondent.

Responded another, “The administration is pushing for $40 per barrel crude oil, and with tariffs on foreign tubular goods, [input] prices are up, and drilling is going to disappear. The oil industry is once again going to lose valuable employees.”

Demand for employees was relatively unchanged, Patel said, with the employment index negative 1.5 compared to negative 6.6 in the second quarter.

He said respondents to the first quarter survey were asked their expectations of how employment would change from December 2024 to December 2025. The consensus was employment would be largely unchanged, but now Patel said there are suggestions employment could decline slightly if oil prices remain near current levels.

Oil and natural gas production decreased slightly this quarter. The oil production index was negative 8.6 while the natural gas production index was negative 3.2. 

Lease operating expenses and finding and development costs rose at a faster pace this quarter. The lease operating expense index was 36.9 vs. 28.1 last quarter while the finding and development costs index rose to 22 from 11.4. 

Input costs rose again for oilfield support service firms but at a slightly slower pace. The input cost index was 34.8 this quarter relative to 40 last quarter.

In other survey findings:

  • About three-quarters of respondents believe shale oil drilling will become commercially viable in international locations outside the U.S., Canada and Argentina in the next 10 years.
  • Fifty-seven percent of executives estimate that regulatory changes since January have reduced their firm’s break-even cost for new wells by less than $1 per barrel. Another 25% estimate a reduction between $1 to $1.99.  
  • The One Big Beautiful Bill Act lowers federal royalty rates and increases federal leasing offerings. When asked whether these changes would increase crude oil production, the most selected response was a slight increase, chosen by 58%. Another 36% reported no change, while only 6% expect a significant increase. Similar results were obtained for natural gas production.

“Drill, baby, drill!”

Also…”the administration wants crude oil at $40 per barrel.”

This is a perfect encapsulation of the obtusity of Trump economics and the lower tier industry honks who believe they are part of the plan. You’re not.

Last I checked Texas went bigly for Trump and blue collar workers leaned Trump as well. $40 per barrel aint happening, but also is too low for the sector and especially Texas.

What you could get is a collapse of exploration because things don’t move and don’t get made. Then scarcity creates bigger problems.

Interesting about Argentina. They recently went through their own "maga" type xenophobia phase. The Musk DOGE nonsense was patterned after what Argentina's government did and Argentina has been a disaster. Very interesting to see them scraping taxes in desperation trying to reverse their stupid decisions by taking advantage of the US stupid decisions

More soybean news. Highlighted for the lulz. They went through this shit the last time they voted for the rapist, felon, pedophile. And yet they voted for him again. Well, Fuck them.

 

https://wtfdetective.blog/farmers-dire-harvest-china-largest-soybean-buyer/

The fallout is immediate for farmers. Ragland told CNN that prices have dropped 40% since their highs three years ago, while both interest rates and production expenses have surged. “We’re looking at basically losses for the upcoming year if commodity prices don’t improve,” he said. Current futures for September sit near $10.10 per bushel—well below the estimated $11.03 production cost. On Ragland’s farm alone, the math points to $750,000 in losses, forcing him to lean on loans just to stay afloat.

“Right now we’re planting a crop that looks like it will be produced at a loss,” he admitted. “By fall, when the soybeans are harvested and ready to sell, we’re gonna need a drastic improvement in our markets or it’s gonna get even tougher for farm families all across this country.” He emphasized that all 500,000 soybean farmers are facing similar budget constraints, with little margin for error.

The ripple effects reach far beyond individual farmers. Agriculture contributes $9.5 trillion annually to the U.S. economy—about 18.7% of overall economic output—and supports more than a million jobs. Soybean exports alone are tied to over 231,000 jobs in farming, manufacturing, transportation, and related industries. Ragland warned of how this impacts small-town America: “That trickles down to our rural communities. Our rural communities are a lot of folks across this country. And that impacts small business. That impacts just the whole infrastructure within our communities.”

Each $1 billion in agricultural exports sustains nearly 6,000 jobs, and the soybean and corn trade directly supports over 212,000 positions. The economic multiplier means trade disruptions spread through nearly every sector connected to agriculture.

The roots of the crisis lie in ongoing U.S.-China trade disputes. American soybeans face a 20% retaliatory tariff, bringing the total duty rate up to 34% compared to competitors. China has responded by pivoting to Brazil, where imports have surged to record levels. In March 2025, Brazil exported 15.7 million tons of soybeans, with three-quarters going to China—the largest monthly shipment ever. In 2024, China sourced 71% of its soybean imports from Brazil, cutting U.S. farmers further out of the market. In an August 19 letter to President Trump, the American Soybean Association warned that “China has contracted with Brazil to meet future months’ needs to avoid purchasing any soybeans from the United States.”

Despite being a Trump supporter, Ragland has been outspoken about the urgent need for action. “We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. He stressed that waiting is not an option: “We’re planning a crop that looks like it will be produced at a loss,” he said, underscoring the time-sensitive nature of the issue.

The broader farm economy is already under strain. Corn growers report prices down more than 50% since 2022, while production costs have barely budged. This downturn coincides with forecasts for one of the largest U.S. soybean harvests ever—4.3 billion bushels. Without Chinese demand, that surplus could push prices even lower, deepening financial pain across the industry. The scenario recalls the 2018–2020 trade war, when U.S. agriculture lost $26 billion, with soybeans making up $20 billion of those losses.

We went to visit my wife's parents in Wisconsin last week and and passed countless soybean fields driving around in the area they live.  It's going to be a shitshow in a few weeks when they harvest and don't have anywhere to sell them.

This.  I have a family member who married into such a family.  In fact, soybeans is one of their larger crops.  They are fucking absurdly rich.  Big beautiful beach house in Florida in addition to the massive farmhouse(s) on their huge chunks of acreage in the upper midwest.  Everyone drives new Escalades and such.  Money just isn't a concern.

Except at some point, maybe it becomes a concern.  Voting to derail your own gravy train is certainly a choice.

My parents’ neighbor is a farmer. He’s pretty loaded, owns a boat, travels a lot, etc. And he doesn’t live on the farm: instead, they own a big house with a pool in a nearby city.

It’s very different from my old man’s childhood as the son of a dirt poor sharecropper on a small farm.
