Welcome to the beginning of the American Holodomir.

You likely won't be able to get tomatoes or strawberries for any price next year.

My vendors & clients all have food rotting in the fields right now.

EDIT: Very telling that the downvoters can't refute a single thing I stated.

I'm gonna walk my ass out back and pick some. All this shit was the perfect kick in the ass to get my garden built last month.

Prepare and learn skills people, shits gonna get bad. The more self sufficient you can be, the better. You then use these skills even further to help those around you and build your community.

We started ours in November. We saw this was coming when the fascist was elected.

Lifelong forager here. My time to shine!

Don't worry, we're cutting education and removing child labor laws for that very reason.

Im waiting for the time when "child labor laws" will stand for "laws forcing children to work" in the US.

Isn't this what also caused the dust bowl in the 1930s?

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Kinda the opposite, I believe it was over farming and poor crop rotation that caused it

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also an overuse of fertilizers that changed the pH of the soil, preventing any plants from setting down roots

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

and removal of windbraking trees and plants that were native to the area.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

No, as Stamau123 mentioned, that was poor crop management exacerbated by drought conditions.

Another ‘great’ move in the GOP’s campaign to crash the economy in their quest for racial purity in the USA

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They don't care about racial purity. It's always about power.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Correct, white ethnostate is just icing.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They will send everything they care about to hell in order to screw over anyone non-white. This is the real danger of racism. It only leads to shit like ww2 and genocide. No one benefits from it except the 0.001% who use it to control everyone else.

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

YES! Finally, after my screaming this for decades, my words are being echoed unknowingly by others who have the ability to understand what really motivated those at the top of EVERY organization eventually.

It doesn't matter if it's a "d and d" game or the presidency , or religious organizations, it always boils down to control and power at all costs.

this is florida, where thier industry is tourism and its mostly sustained by said migrants/immigrants.

[–] griff@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago

there’s a wee bit of agricultural & service work being done in Florida as well, no?

Before you get to sympathetic remember there’s some leopards eating faces in this group. Probably more than you realize.

Sigh. This is mostly because they're ignorant christians.

Religion strikes again.
