Lost me at tax payer dollars. I heard fucker was rich now I learn he used government funds to do this. Also that means the government could revoke that and take it away. I would not doubt if they truly wanted a one million dollar bribe to a certain orange man and it will be theres for less then they just offered.
the idea of small mom and pop family farms is pretty much dead, all the serious onss are multi-millionaires abusing the system just as much if not more than the worst techbros/wallstreet/banks.
they got a fantastic PR team though, pretending they struggle. they get paid out of our tax $ to grow food that noone will ever eat, to prop up/game the various crop futures markets. have for decades
