Went to the grocery store this morning

Bread, milk, eggs

$47.63

The screen asked if I'd like to round up to support a children's hospital

I pressed no

The cashier looked at me

The woman behind me looked at me

My wife looked at the ceiling

Again

This company made $14 billion last year

They can round up

Went to get gas after

The pump asked if I'd like to add $1 to support veterans

I support veterans

I pressed no

A $200 billion oil company asking me to fund their charity while I'm paying $3.89 a gallon

That's not philanthropy

That's outsourcing

Drove through for lunch

Taco Bell

The screen said "round up for education?"

A fast food company asking me to fund scholarships while paying their employees $11 an hour

I pressed no

My wife said "you know you're arguing with screens today"

She was right

But the screens started it

Went to the pharmacy

Picked up a prescription

$340 after insurance

The screen asked if I'd like to donate $1 to help families in need

I just paid $340 for a medication that costs $4 to manufacture

And now you want a dollar

I pressed no

The pharmacist said "it's just a dollar"

I said "it's never just a dollar"

She didn't respond

Got home

My wife said "you said no to a children's hospital, veterans, education, and families in need today"

I said "no. I said no to four corporations who want me to fund their goodwill so they can put it in their annual report"

She was quiet

Then she said "you're not wrong"

I said "I know"

She said "but you're still going to look like a monster"

I said "I'd rather look like a monster than quietly fund a billion-dollar company's PR strategy at the register"

She didn't disagree

But she didn't look at me either

Plz fix. Thx.

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@SnakeOilKing @TimJ8430 @RyanLoseke How do you hear 👂 a crock of shit?? 💩

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@TimJ8430 @RyanLoseke Truth, all the other guys can drink their enlist and kill my xtend flex beans.

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@agtradertalk So should someone call in their neighbor who sprayed their xtend beans with enlist because said neighbor called that person in when they got dinged by dicamba supposedly??? Asking for a friend

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@mjohnsoniowa Looks great!!!!

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@Cornfrmr How does it handle sticks and other obstacles like garbage??

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@bankerbrady @gavin_spoor Well for starters bud the tile reduces excess ground water so when heavy rains come more water can soak in not run off. I’ll take my excess water through a pipe that way it doesn’t continue to erode more soil in its path. But you do what you want…..

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@bankerbrady @gavin_spoor This statement is similar to guns kill…….

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@Cornfrmr But people didn’t call about everything. They had to figure problems out on their own.

@BulsTony Quit driving around looking at crops then you won’t need a new vehicle. Or better yet just drink beer while driving your vehicle and you have increased corn demand 😁

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@RobertRasmus2 @GrainsGorilla @gemoscatelli Not much we can understand anymore. Too many “ideas” and “expertise” that aren’t right or beyond our control. Things we were once good at we now feel subpar. This will change got to keep in keeping on Bob!!!

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@IowaAggie10 Everyone’s situation is different why is he hating on someone going thru a natural disaster. And now he is the expert on droughts and floods and he farms pebbles on 10 inches of rain 😂

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@NicoleStecklein And it will be known as “Mothers Day Corn” in 2 weeks and everyone will hate it…….

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@BulsTony But they aren’t worth anything

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@EthanSmidt32 Might need to use it as an ark 🤷🏻‍♂️😬

@CBKimbrell @BulsTony

[Eric Totemeier @farmertote]

@Peiffer_Farms I’ll continue farming in bushels not acres…..
