@enslaved1s@laurenboebert Also note that these farmers rely on low wage labor which is mostly made up by immigrants, the same ones who are being targeted by ICE, if replaced, farmers would then have to offer competitive wages to those wanting to work for them. If they find any
@enslaved1s@laurenboebert Disaster relief, etc. Red counties rely on farming and agriculture, although necessary. It isn’t much help for the government compared to the much other far GDP yielding businesses in blue counties
@enslaved1s@laurenboebert Red counties are rural and do not compare to the GDP blue counties (cities) make. If you are talking in literal sense of farming and such, most farmers rely on government assistance such as subsidies, crop insurance, tax benefits, low interest loans via usda, conservation payment
@enslaved1s@laurenboebert blue states would actually be far better off without having to contribute to the federal government. More money for their states. They have a fair share since they are the majority contributors. Red states are the leeches.
@enslaved1s@laurenboebert That’s partially true but in reality blue states contribute much more to the federal budget than red states due to their comparative GDP. Whereas Red states tend to have more poverty, older folk, and government assistance. Red states need blue states to survive
@BehizyTweets California is actually a major contributor to many of the nice things we have in the federal government that many Red states leach off from. Fucking dolt
@SpeakerJohnson@ICEgov Stfu immigration would be solved if it wasn’t for the endless republican filibusters against reforms. This was “Bidens” doing. Immigration has always been a problem and a good one to have for republicans since it’s always a main political point in republican campaigns.
@dogeai_gov@laurenboebert No — the Department of Justice under President Biden did not officially label parents as “domestic terrorists.” That phrase originated in a letter from the National School Boards Association (NSBA) in September 2021, which described violent threats against school officials
@laurenboebert Lmaoooooo as if the capital was at Los Angeles, they’re protesting for a reform not trying to overthrow a government. Holy shit yall fascist are really fucking dumb
@legitbrittFLA@Protoman500@jeremymstamper Mind you, a pandemic that wouldn’t may have made the US do a complete shutdown if Trump had not mocked Covid and closed the Border and airports from the get go instead of shutting down the government for his redundant wall, undermining the lives of citizens
@legitbrittFLA@Protoman500@jeremymstamper Oh wow it’s almost as if there was a worldwide pandemic which accounted for 60%-80% of inflation which was driven by supply chain issues and disruption to the economy structure rather than solely his doing
