Reddit refugee. Corporations need to be outlawed. Big government needs to be downsized.
What this government is showing me is that there already a third party and they’re in control. They gave us the two party system so we can point fingers at each other and get tired trying to bring about change.
There is only one rule to follow these days and that’s FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Gen 'Xer here too. Most, if not all of my social circle are voting for Trump too. I am mirroring you in saying that I also shared the same life experience as them. What I’m noticing with all social media which is a major part of all our lives is that its a giant echo camber for both sides. Here on lemmy and reddit (yes I know, but I still check in there) we are all leaning left and denouncing him. Meanwhile on the Meta and Twitter I see everyone clamoring about him bring their savior and how evil and wretched Harris and the libs are. Both sides are surprised how close this race is. I see the media profiting on all this chaos and nonsense. We need to fight to get the media out of the control of all these oligarchs, be-it US or foreign interference centers. I think and hope that more and more people are realizing this and this is going to be the start of class warfare. Sad thing is they got all us have-nots battling each other instead of them. So hard to talk with the cultists and veer them away from the Kool aid going around. It’s sad and it’s going to get dark one way or another.
Anyway preach on and don’t give up.
The majority of the farms around me are cash crops, not providing food for survival. I’m in central California and all I see here is almonds, pistachios, tomatoes and cows. We need to get rid of these since it’s just wasted space that’s doomed to fail as it’s using up valuable resources to profit the few that own them.
We have one acre and we grow a variety of different veggies, trying to grow with sustainable methods like regenerative farming practices. We trade with other like minded people and my wife donates excess to the local church to help feed the poor. We need more people doing this and less of the big corporate farmers lining their pockets while everyone else suffers.
Screw these bailouts
