Somewhere in the Northwest Angle of Minnesota, or in Point Roberts, Washington, someone is cackling and shouting "Welcome to my world! Enjoy going through immigration to get to the grocery store!"

Wow someone else who knows about Pt Roberts. most Washingtonians don't even know about that place.

i'm from tennessee and the fact that we have dolly alone means we are more qualified to run it than anyone in kentucky.

Never been there; I just ran across it on a Wikipedia binge about border oddities. :)

e: I didn't actually remember its name so I googled "that place in puget sound that's america but you have to go through canada to get there" and it came right up.

i wonder who will end up owning their land. weird how that always seems to be the giant agricorps

Why is it so loving hard for people to see this? The destruction of small farming doesn't matter to agribuisness, which is what the right actually means when they say "farmers." Every parcel of land that used to belong to a family being owned by an international business that's just vertically integrating their supply chain isn't a bug, it's a loving feature of these policies. Why won't people just stand up for themselves?

if enough small farmers get crushed and absorbed you can just nationalize the agrocorps. now instead of going after farmer hickass your fighting a massive business interest,much better optics

because if a good thing happens to me but it also happens to a brown person, then somehow i got screwed!

i would rather create a living hell for myself if it reduces the chance of a nice thing happening to a brown person

to give you a serious answer: because no one is offering an alternative. the neoliberal order is fine with agricorps swallowing up small farmers, because that's what the market has decided is best. and no one is offering them anything else. so what should they do, other than succumb?

tbf with climate change and the certainty of massive crop failures the only solution is collective farming

policies directly impacting small farmers is bad but hastens the inevitable of indirect policies that create global warming and austerity/boom-bust cycle

until trump gets out of office

that's the more frustrating proposition for me - even when he does finally leave (assuming he does) it's not like all these god-awful people and their racism and general insanity are going to go back to pretending to be normal. that cat is out of the bag, and i almost feel like any serious opposition candidate needs to have an actual plan for how they plan to address the massive behemoth of racism and nazism that's necessarily going to still be around after trump is gone.

even if you could snap your fingers and completely remove him and every one of his cronies from a position of power, what the hell do you do with the 100 million racist shitbirds that have become out and loud about their harmful ideology?

as soon as Trump is out of office everyone in media is going to work doubletime to rehabilitate the chuds and lecture us all that they are a valuable contribution to The Discourse with opinions as valid as anybody's and the real problem with the country is a crisis of civility, and most of the country is going to listen to them.

it's not like Republicans only started being Republicans in 2016, and most people were perfectly willing to accept their various ghoulish state regimes, the Bush administration, etc. until their figurehead started being rude to celebrities on TV; things are going to continue to get worse rapidly until someone manages to fundamentally change the nature of the game

this kind of poo poo will become as respectable and everyday as "if you don't like the Iraq War you're a traitor"

I highly doubt their children laid it out like that, this is probably just their way of interpreting being cut out of their lives. It's not because they're toxic lunatics determined to make everybody's life hell, it's because they're just upset that Trump won and once that's gone everything will be fine again

At least racism can be justified by economic hardship if you're ignorant about causalities. Whats the argument for voting based on vaping?!

I took in waaaaaay more nicotine ( and maybe did more damage to my lungs im hearing now?) using a juul then smoking cigarettes tbh. it’s so easy to just walk around puffing it all day since it doesn’t really smell or have a butt to throw away and it’s harder to ration your use

It's always been legal to chainsmoke or have a cigar, vapes just don't signal "you've consumed x amount of nicotine" like cigarettes do

edit: nicotine vapes aren't the dangerous ones either, 80% of cases are from thc vapes and it's probably a higher % because some people don't want to admit to drug use
