If you didn’t see this coming, you have been asleep under a rock. This was always the plan. Just like we sold water rights to Saudi in the desert.
Yep. JD Vance owns the company that assists foreign company’s in buying farmland … there is literally an app for it.
So tariffs + farms failing = making money off land sales. Also China gets even more of the US food supply under its control. This is LOSE-LOSE … unless you are a grifter.
They’re gonna be so extremely angry for 5 minutes.
Oh, they’ll stay angry, but the focus will shift to… People getting healthcare, or something.
Non-white immigrants
Darn those non-white immigrints sellin’ our land to GHYYNAHHH
They’ll be furious that Democrats and brown migrant workers sold them out
Yeah! Why didn’t they shield them from consequences for their actions?!
But they were cool with child rape?
Also, what does it matter who owns the farm land? Without regulation, both Chinese and American corporations are going to pay their workers poverty wages…
Its a perspective issue, thats why you don’t get it.
From their perspective, they will be the ones paying poverty wages. What’s a little bit of child rape to them when they have the (essentially nonexistent) chance to be bajillionnaires by paying poverty wages?
“Look, it’s not that I love it. You want to see farm prices drop. You want to see farmers lose a lot of money, just take that out of the market.”
What the fuck? How is this a real quote?
WTF does “maga” even mean any more?
Just a baby-talk word with zero principles whatsoever, other than “I like da-da!”
Trump stole the line from Ronald Reagan.
Michael Moore did a video where he asked a bunch of MAGats exactly when America stopped being great?
The ones born in the 1940s said it was the 1960s.
The ones born in the 1950s said the 1970s.
The ones born in the 1960s pointed to the 1980s.
Exactly. Things were “great” when you were young, healthy and didn’t have a realization of the complexities of the world. Mostly because your folks were dealing with them for you on your behalf. Then your twenties hit and you’re out in the world without that little cocoon.
Suddenly, everything is on you, your body is now on the downside. Of course shit was better FOR YOU, when you were a kid. The rest of the world, on the other hand, has been dealing with shit since long before that and will keep dealing with it long after your ass is in the dirt.
I would not be surprised if that kind of thing tracks across many, if not most, demographics, honestly.
“When were things better?”
If one is going to take a very egocentric, myopic, short-term, and provincial of things vs. the kind of view of say, historians, then most people are going to look back at their twenties with mostly rose-colored glasses on.
When were things better? When I got 15 boners a day, never got hungover, never had to consider my diet or frequency of exercise. Duh.
Look at old time media.
Originally, Mary Tyler Moore was supposed to be a divorcee, but the networks decided that was too controversial.
Star Trek’s original pilot featured Spoke and a female Number One. The networks told the creators to drop one or the other.
1982 was the first major Hollywood movie where a Black character was never referred to as Black, they were simply allowed to be there like it was normal [An Officer And A Gentleman]
A lot of people have seen improvements over their lifetimes.
Are investors from the US or our government allowed to buy swathes of real estate in the PRC to the same extent that the CCP or Chinese investors are allowed to?
I’m betting no.
I doubt it. China plans to still be a country in 10 years.
Yes, and I know it’s obvious, but the reason for the difference is that China’s leader is not a demented psychopath who decides he wants whatever the last person he spoke with told him to want. So they kind of have the upper-hand in the negotiation.
Xi: “Yes, you have Trump Tower in Beijing, Shanghai, wherever. You no pay full price for building, you no worry about maintenance, power, anything. You just pay much smaller monthly fee.”.
Trump: “That’s great, you will be so lucky having so many big, beautiful Trump Towers all over Chyna”Later…
Trump: “Best deal ever, truly art of the deal, I totally fleeced Xi”.
Lackey: “Ah, sir. You won’t own anything. Xi was talking about a lease.”.
Trump: You’re fired!"
Dont worry he just waiting on his bribe money and this will be reversed. Probably tomorrow on Taco Tuesday.
The bribes are from China. It’s not getting reversed.
He likely asked Xi to do something relating to Iran and this was one of the conditions.
An actual deal? Ha ha! Oh no. Nnno, no no.
Doesn’t matter. Nothing he does that will hurt all of us (including them) will change their minds. Their hatred towards minorities is greater than their own sense of self-preservation, all controlled by Newsmax and the rightwing propaganda machine.
MAGAts are suicidal jihadists who will happily die if it means the death of the infidels. Their god has promised them eternity in paradise after they die. You can’t reason with terrorists, they’re driven by delusions from mental illness that is supported by their extremist religion.
Zero sympathy, they voted for the pedo, felon, rapist and traitor.
China buying US farmland will have no effect on the US but allowing Chinese students will be good for the US economy. They have to pay tuition and some will stay and use their talent.
