    If Trump gets elected the fruits & vegetables will be rotting in the fields again & there won’t be any for anyone to buy.

      Fuck Trump but come on. There are enough things to fear about him without additional fearmongering about the productivity of our farms.

        Do you not understand how farms in the USA work? I do. I own a fucking nursery. Farmers are my customers.

        You obviously don’t realize just how many farmers in Florida, Georgia & Alabama lost their ass or their entire livelyhood when their states enacted the kinds of immigration policies that Trump wants to implement nationwide.

    Just remember that the powers-that-be have stated that we are not in a recession.

    Don’t look at evidence from your own eyes, don’t depend on the news, don’t depend on multiple studies showing the same thing. Just take it on faith that the economists know what’s best for us. Blind faith.

      Not all economic problems are a recession. Consumers are facing significant issues right now, but the overall economy is doing well.

      Our issue is that all that wealth is mysteriously staying in the hands of large corporations.

      Just remember that the powers-that-be have stated that we are not in a recession.

      We’re not in a recession. The economy is growing precisely because grocery store prices are rising. The thing we are measuring - year over year increases in inflation-adjusted business revenue - is only defined as “not a recession” when industry profits are rising.

      If grocery prices were falling and wages were outpacing investment returns and state programs had cash left over because fewer people needed them, we’d see a flood of money leaving the agricultural sector and a sharp reduction in output as capital scrambled to protect itself from declining returns. And that would result in a recession.

    so what

    lot of states do not even get programs like this

    maybe Californians should have to live like the rest of the United States or these should be federal programs for all

    senior centers in the states feed the older population expired old food that sometimes has not been properly stored or matches their required diets

    states are also reducing food stamp benefits so this is just another article about California again whining about not have things nobody else got to begin with
