Tired of welfare farmers stealing American jobs and American tax payer dollars every 3-5 years
Drug tests are expensive theater. If the goal is accountability, audits and transparent reporting actually work.
Mama-mia! dats-a spicy meme-ball
Make sure they’re not lickin’ em toadyfrogs!
You ever tried farming not high? It’s boring as shit.
I love quoting that one
Depends. Its something you have to ve made for, but driving up and down the field the whole day can be quite relaxing. Its also ideal for listening to podcasts.
Doing this while being high is not only quite dangerous, but can also lead to quite poor results.
farmers should revolt against the capitalist government, for they are proletariats as well
Eah. A lot of “farmers” are land owners who hire other people to work on their farms. The average net worth of an American farming household is like, north of $1.5 million iirc.
1.5 million is not that much. Also theres a massive difference between how much you own (without debt) and how much money you make. Even while 1.5 million may sound like a lot it is in fact a quite small farm. They are probably not making that much money (also remember, that a lot of their income gets tunneled directly into paying back debt for investments.
Large equipment alone steals the fucking show.
Not just the equipment, but also the costs for land and buildings. In my region a single hectare of land costs around 10-20k€ so for a small farm (which would be at around 50ha) you would pay 500k to 1m € just for the land alone. You havent bought a single piece of equipment, you didnt build a building and depending on what your structure is, you also havent bought a single animal.

How about drug testing all the politicians every week?
I figure so many of them are so old the drug test would come out inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily. Just think of all the shit people have to take in retirement homes then add in a factor of free healthcare and access to top tier doctors who can prescribe without concern over ethics.
Sounds like a fail to me. We will hold them to the same standards we would be held to. Can’t give a clean test then you are fired. We are also definitely going to watch you pee just like they do to all the poors as well. Turnabout is fair play.
Watch how fast drug tests would be made illegal.
inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily.
Let’s just check for alcohol and opiates.
Perhaps we should treat our politicians like athletes and expect a top performance free of doping.
Is that why filibusters can last so long?
Or make them retire before they’re geriatric.
Via spinal tap to be sure
This makes me unreasonably upset. Farmers need to be drug tested AND breathalyzed. They also need to provide up to date household income information, including the gross income of anyone living on their property. They should also be required to provide last 3 to 5 employer references, verification they are working 40 hours per week or volunteering an equivalent amount at a state approved business, this all has to be done on an online site that requires desktop computer access. You can’t use Chrome or Firefox, only Microsoft Edge. If they don’t fill out the forms and attach the appropriately filled out paper documents properly, they will get a mailed statement letting them know they were denied and can re file after a 30 day waiting period. They can call to speak to their case manager, but there is only a phone tree that takes them to voicemail. If they miss the call back from the case manager, their file will be flagged as unresponsive and may require filling out all forms and paperwork again. They may also be denied because of typos, unfinished forms on the case manager side, or an unreasonable reading of acceptance rules.
This is not commentary on social services in America at all /s
Slaps the side of the federal government
This bad boy can fit so many more surveillance programs

Boooo! Keep the corn coming.
Corn farmers should be drug-tested every 90 days if they want a government handout.
Corn farmers should be 🌽-tested every 90 🌽 if they want government 🌽.
Who can be trusted to keep accurate count of the corn cobs?
Quis cobiet ipsos cobes?
who cornholes cornholnelius?
The USDA-NASS is responsible for making an estimate of the number of corn cobs in the U.S. Most other countries have similar organizations.
To do so they send surveys out to ask farmers what they think. The farmers answer completely truthfully because lying would inflate the prices they get on their corn cobs.
The corn must flow
Remove the corn subsidies!
From the Cornholes!
MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES! BUTTER FOR THE POP-KHORNE!
This sub didn’t last long without us political shitposts.
So should all members of Congress and the White House.
How have the mods of this comm not banned politics yet? This isn’t a fucking shitpost and everyone knows it.
I find the way you’re trying to influence the policy of this comm very annoying, please stop it.
Lol, no. Why should I stop? The motherfuckers posting political shit are trying to influence it, too.
Because you’re a hypocrite and they’re not. You don’t want politics, yet you’re doing politics right now. Us normal people like politics, so it’s not hypocritical for us to do it.
Normal people like politics? Huh. That’s a new one. So I’m not normal, and all the other people who agree with me aren’t either. You’re being manipulative and judgemental at the same time, while falsey calling me a hypocrite for disagreeing with you.
If you like politics and memes, I have great news for you! There’s a community on Lemmy SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT called c/politicalmemes! Have fun!
Not liking politics is extremely weird. Normal people like to watch political movies like Star Wars and read political books like The Hunger Games. We listen to political music like Eminem and appreciate political art like Banksy. Normal people tune into political podcasts like Joe Rogan, even though it sucks, because they love politics. We play political games like Metal Gear, and some of us even spend our sundays worshipping political gods like Jesus. You’re weird for not liking political media.
Go fuck yourself, you gaslighting creep.
I have that scheduled for this evening before bed, you apolitical.
i guess the cornings must continue until morel improves.
People upvote this shit because they think they’re helping. Some sort of “activism” bullshit. They don’t seem to realize that their actions are having the opposite fucking effect. The presence of politics where it shouldn’t be is causing people to disengage. It causes apathy.
aw cranky?
life is politics writ large. shitposting is the purest form of politics imho.
do you really think this meme is attempting to affect policy? it’s not. it’s the shitpost equivalent of commiserating about a ridiculous double standard.
maybe you’re not cut out for the shitpost life friendo
I too prefer mushrooms.
100% there is shit under this guy’s fingernails
where corn
