Nice summary of the situation. The tractor revolt started in the Netherlands, maybe before, with their own tractor revolt. How did that workout? The US tractors and farming acreage are quantum much larger. Woe be to us if the Democrats again take the levers of power.
The first thing to go if the dems get back in power is the southern border. Then it won’t make much difference what the farmers do with their tractors.
(I re-called recently that) Hitler tried to get Mexico to join up with the axis. Mexico’s reward would be they would get back Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
It may yet go that way as we push more of our dependance for food to Mexico - a result of our policies on use of Carbon based fuels which were believed to contribute to climate change. Add to that the fact that we now grow corn to make ethanol to add to our gasoline. Idiocy.
Not a fan of ethanol. Screws up my chainsaws, generators, ATVs, and motorcycles. Have switched to ethanol-free gas for all gas powered tools. Ethanol may be good for the farmers but is bad for engines.
Unfortunately life is filled with contradictions. Gasoline, the fundamental backbone of our nation's economy has been roundly condemned as the disease of our nation sure to kill our future...unless we converted to re-cyclable alternatives. Except those alternatives turned out to be less reliable or efficient as advertised. The key word here is "advertised" because for the last 100 years or so the nation has been spoon fed advertising as disclosing reality and truth. Time and reality have interrupted this nonsense but past reality is easily ignored when new definitions of reality are presented. No, we don't learn. We take information that is shallow and meritless and condemn those who seek to show true reality. Is that's not really redundant.

The interesting part is that no outlets are covering this important story. Total blackout.
"Reality doesn't negotiate with slogans".....well said, thank you.
Thanks, Beezer.
There are a few decent lines in this one.
