'From the basement of a hotel on Capitol Hill, [Kenyon farmer and Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council chair Gail] Donkers said Wednesday she’s wondering exactly when Washington will offer aid, since the current market drop is due to the tariff war.
'“We have to have something,” she said. “We never want to take a payout. But we’ve been working for 40 to 50 years to build these relationships across oceans.”'

The "thinking" and "reasoning" of the #StableGenius crowd is such a farce and will simply cost more to all (remember the #farmer #bailouts of #Drumpf1 ?):
As GDP contracts, venture capital abandons private markets for government funding, rebranding struggling startups as "strategic assets" to capture Trump's new sovereign wealth fund. A new innovation model emerges where political connections matter more than business fundamentals.
The real “free riders” aren’t the #poor - they’re the #ultra-wealthy who hoard wealth while workers struggle.
If #billionaires can afford tax havens and #bailouts we can afford #UBI
Let’s stop asking how we’ll “pay for it” and start asking why we keep funding a system that benefits the few at the expense of the many.
Why do we?
