I figure so many of them are so old the drug test would come out inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily. Just think of all the shit people have to take in retirement homes then add in a factor of free healthcare and access to top tier doctors who can prescribe without concern over ethics.
Perhaps we should treat our politicians like athletes and expect a top performance free of doping.
Or make them retire before they're geriatric.
Is that why filibusters can last so long?
inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily.
Let's just check for alcohol and opiates.
Sounds like a fail to me. We will hold them to the same standards we would be held to. Can't give a clean test then you are fired. We are also definitely going to watch you pee just like they do to all the poors as well. Turnabout is fair play.
Watch how fast drug tests would be made illegal.
Via spinal tap to be sure
This makes me unreasonably upset. Farmers need to be drug tested AND breathalyzed. They also need to provide up to date household income information, including the gross income of anyone living on their property. They should also be required to provide last 3 to 5 employer references, verification they are working 40 hours per week or volunteering an equivalent amount at a state approved business, this all has to be done on an online site that requires desktop computer access. You can't use Chrome or Firefox, only Microsoft Edge. If they don't fill out the forms and attach the appropriately filled out paper documents properly, they will get a mailed statement letting them know they were denied and can re file after a 30 day waiting period. They can call to speak to their case manager, but there is only a phone tree that takes them to voicemail. If they miss the call back from the case manager, their file will be flagged as unresponsive and may require filling out all forms and paperwork again. They may also be denied because of typos, unfinished forms on the case manager side, or an unreasonable reading of acceptance rules.
This is not commentary on social services in America at all /s
Slaps the side of the federal government
This bad boy can fit so many more surveillance programs
Boooo! Keep the corn coming.
Corn farmers should be drug-tested every 90 days if they want a government handout.
Corn farmers should be 🌽-tested every 90 🌽 if they want government 🌽.
Who can be trusted to keep accurate count of the corn cobs?
Remove the corn subsidies!
From the Cornholes!
The corn must flow
MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES! BUTTER FOR THE POP-KHORNE!
You ever tried farming not high? It's boring as shit.
I love quoting that one
Depends. Its something you have to ve made for, but driving up and down the field the whole day can be quite relaxing. Its also ideal for listening to podcasts.
Doing this while being high is not only quite dangerous, but can also lead to quite poor results.
So should all members of Congress and the White House.
where corn
Tired of welfare farmers stealing American jobs and American tax payer dollars every 3-5 years
This sub didn't last long without us political shitposts.
farmers should revolt against the capitalist government, for they are proletariats as well
Eah. A lot of "farmers" are land owners who hire other people to work on their farms. The average net worth of an American farming household is like, north of $1.5 million iirc.
1.5 million is not that much. Also theres a massive difference between how much you own (without debt) and how much money you make. Even while 1.5 million may sound like a lot it is in fact a quite small farm. They are probably not making that much money (also remember, that a lot of their income gets tunneled directly into paying back debt for investments.
I'm not saying they're "rich". I'm saying they're not, as OP suggests, proletarian.
If they weren't proletarian they wouldn't have to work. Farmers are some of the most hard working people in society. 70h a week is a normal workload. They work 365 days a week and still get fucked over.
Large equipment alone steals the fucking show.
And there's a lot of right to repair fights. If you think a Honda trying to lock you out for not taking it to the dealership for an oil change is bad, just imagine how bad it is for somebody with a combine that costs most of that million.
Not just the equipment, but also the costs for land and buildings. In my region a single hectare of land costs around 10-20k€ so for a small farm (which would be at around 50ha) you would pay 500k to 1m € just for the land alone. You havent bought a single piece of equipment, you didnt build a building and depending on what your structure is, you also havent bought a single animal.
Everything is of course expensive. One of my exes was a farm girl. They had a smallish farm 250 Acres (101 Hectares).
He had a couple dozen cows, planted every other inch he could find, and rented a few neighboring fields. He had everything for planting/maintaining/harvesting. Anytime something got paid off, he picked up something else. Everything was a juggling act. Every free dollar was reinvested. They lived relatively decently, but modestly. Everyone got whatever they needed; nothing was extravagant. He had some outrageous amount in loans, many millions.
John Deere has entered the farm
An authorized service technician has entered the farm
Invoicing intensifies
Mama-mia! dats-a spicy meme-ball
Drug tests are expensive theater. If the goal is accountability, audits and transparent reporting actually work.
High on pesticides.
Make sure they're not lickin' em toadyfrogs!
