ruin is right in front of them. They alone, chose to ignore it at their own peril. They alone.

It's ironic, since they've managed these farms under other negative conditions, bad weather, trade issues which rump is reigniting, labor issues (which rump is reigniting), expansion of free trade by eliminating a lot of onerous rules, etc. (which rump is reigniting via tariffs), now they have rump himself and his mouth left.

Perhaps if enough of them lose their farms (the subsidies promised by the rump admin. aren't far enough), they will see the light, but I doubt it.
