"Bankruptcies are not at record levels," John Newton, the Farm Bureau’s chief economist, told PolitiFact. Longer-term statistics concur. When you are standing on thin ice it doesn't help to have someone throw you an anchor. Are tariffs the sole reason, no are they a final straw for some yes.

Get with all our other trading partners and boycott them, Targeted tariffs, to name few. Don't confuse pointing out facts about the double edge sword of tariffs, with not thinking China needs to be stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this way better. I didn’t assume anything about your opinion. That’s why I asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not take SSRI,s to combat your depression? You do, yet you rail on a guy that decided he no longer wanted to drink. Odd indeed.

awful knawful Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 4 hours ago, BOHICA said: Not many farmers have licenses or the skills to obtain a license in any of those crafts and couldn’t do them for a hire purpose. Just cause they have a tool box full of tools in the shop doesn’t make them a mechanic.... it makes them a lube tech at jiffy lube because that is the level of wrenching a farmer does... they call somebody for the real mechanic shit. No licenses, yes. No skills? Get the fuck out of here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
