I hope she faces bankruptcy. If you are too stupid to understand the basics of economy then you should be a director of a company.
MAGA, by hiring foreign people because as she says, “The American worker doesn’t like labor, they don’t like to do laborious jobs”.
400k for 10 workers. How much of that do they make? Why isn’t she working hard? Let her farm go under, she’s a welfare queen. What a dumb cunt.
There has been so many stories of Trump over the year's fucking over small businesses, he requests a custom piece, they spend weeks/months making it. He never pays.
I want to say I can't believe people are this dumb. People are this dumb.
Yet to many of this followers these stories are all just bullshit lefty propaganda to smear the name of their great leader. They aren't completely dumb they just have been brainwashed to only believe certain people and certain news organizations.
Trump doesn't care about small businesses? But how????
Who could have seen this coming, except for EVERYONE! Lose your farm, get fucked and don't vote for a fascist next time.
Hope she loses everything because somebody this dumb isn't ever gonna learn the lesson
Whatever she loses, it will be the libs fault.
They are dumbasses who deserve everything they encounter.
Fuck them.
I hope it withers and blows away. It's what she deserves for voting Trump.
"I’ll admit to you, I bleed Republican. (...) Her farm had been awarded a grant worth $400,000 through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (...) Carlson was planning to use her USDA grant money to hire 10 temporary workers from Guatemala to help with this year’s harvest."
The sheer amount of stupidity is crazy. The same people that were crying that everything bad was the fault of Biden actually had they farm working thanks to Biden.
Will they realize at some point ?
I thought you are going to mention that she's receiving an enormous amount of money from the government, even though she's Republican.
I can forgive someone for now knowing who specifically enacted some bill or something, but being simultaneously against supporting people with government handouts while relying on $400K from the government to survive? Wtf.
Those immigrant workers were stealing valuable and very in-demand American fruit and vegetable picking jobs. Surely now she can hire from the huge line of American workers desperate to do this job. /s
Despite all this, we all know damn well that she will vote republican again. She’ll vote for whatever scum trump endorses. These people never learn.
brave of you to assume there will be another election.
One thing that trump is good at is making companies go bankrupt just like his casinos.
Haha, stupid fucks. You get what you voted for. I hope your farm closes down. Scumbag people.
A half million for temporary workers. Nice to see republicans embracing socialism and public welfare to prop them up.
“I was expecting to see a drastic turnaround for the better for my farm because the Republicans have always been for the American farmer,” said Carlson, a longtime Republican and Trump supporter.
When?
Seriously, when have Republicans ever actually been there for American farmers, or even just Americans that aren't millionaires at the least? Seriously, please point out a single law enacted by Republicans that wasn't there to benefit the richest layer of the US?
Yeah Democrats are spineless idiots but Democrats at least left stable economies after receiving shit economies from a Republican. Seriously, look it up, it's funny to actually see it. They actually made things marginally better for everyone instead of a very select few
So, when?
Oh it was quite recently back in the 1910s. Ya know when like nobody alive today was even born.
Electing a criminal is such a great idea.
So these are the real welfare queens, not the people they voted to hurt. Fuck them and their farm.
Zero fucking sympathy for the longtime Nazi and Russian supporting POS. Don't worry, your farm will end up in corporate hands thanks to your pure racist stupidity.
Vote on a compulsive liar and hope all goes well. Fucking idiot.
Her farm had been awarded a grant worth $400,000 through the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help pay for the costs associated with hiring seasonal workers from overseas through the H-2A visa program, which farmers have used for years to hire temporary agricultural workers.
The USDA describes the program on its website as a way to address labor shortages on American farms and reduce illegal immigration. It's backed by $65 million in funding from the American Rescue Plan, a Covid stimulus bill passed in 2021.
IOW she was only getting that $400K because of a program funded under Biden. Which of course is why trump is freezing it, along with programs funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, also passed under Biden. He wants to undo everything Biden did.
Carlson has been trying to get an answer from the USDA about the status of her grant, but her grant manager told her that they were “awaiting guidance from leadership.” When she followed up more recently, she received an out-of-office email.
Because they got fired!
So she voted Trump after relying on a Biden era grant. Geez
Lol oops.
