#bailout

2025-04-29

Absolute ghouls. Notice when the opportunity of help Argentina rebalance its economy, infuse needed foreign capital, and ensure price and social stability, the poobahs of high finance scowled. Now, the "Madman" (i.e., Pres. Milei) who wants to privatize everything is given billions to sell the country to the private interests.

I don't think civilization can be saved. Total revolution is all that is left.

Elections have consequences;

“Farmers across the United States say they could face financial ruin – unless there is a huge taxpayer-funded bailout to compensate for losses generated by Donald Trump’s sweeping cuts and chaotic tariffs.”

“Rural counties rallied behind Trump in 2024, giving him a majority in all but 11 of the 444 farming-dependent counties last year, averaging 78% support”theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a

“I can see how some #tariffs might help us compete with #Mexico but are we really getting targeted by every other country or are we on the wrong side of this? We’ve already had two years of absolute disaster with falling prices & weather patterns … no farmer wants this but without a #bailout this could be devastating & a lot more people could go under,” Johnson said.

RGV #farmers sell sorghum, wheat, corn & vegetables to #Mexico among other crops, while buying fertilizer & equipment – & relying on Mexican farmhands for cheap #labor. Mexico is the US’s largest #trading partner, while #China is the main buyer of American sorghum & cotton. All US products destined for China face a 125% tax thanks to #Trump’s #tariff war, & could cut farmers off from core #markets.

The #ClimateCrisis fueled #ExtremeWeather is compounded by #Trump’s #TradeWar & the admin targeting federal programs & staff, leaving #farmers reeling & resigned to needing another #bailout.

“There’s a lot of uncertainty around & I hate to be used as a bargaining chip. I am definitely worried,” said Travis Johnson, who lost >1k acres of cotton, sorghum & corn after a year’s rain fell in 48 hrs in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) in TX last month, turning parched fields into lakes.

Small- & medium-sized farms were already struggling amid worsening #climate shocks & volatile commodities #markets, on top of being squeezed by large #corporations that dominate the #SupplyChain.

In recent weeks, #farmers in Texas & across the midwest have suffered millions of dollars of crop losses due to unprecedented heavy rainfall & #flooding.

I feel for the farmers, but, if the American taxpayers have to bail them out AGAIN because of felon Trump — hell no! Tariffs should be removed.

"There is a bailout coming. It could take a variety of forms and have multiple beneficiaries, but the government will be using taxpayer money to pay off the victims of Donald Trump’s disastrous economic policies. Some of them, anyway.

Farmers will almost certainly be first in line to be bailed out."

ThamesWater - why be £19 billion in debt when you can be £22 billion in debt. What idiots are giving them more money? How else will the ceo's get this years bonus.

"The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]" @rbreich

Cartoon of Elon Musk facing three poeple, a stunted Brown-skinned child, a haggard woman, and an older man each holding a bowl. The first two bowls have the words "World's Poorest" written. Musk  has a word bubble saying "No more free lunch!"  Behind him are many many sacks tied up with a dollar sign symbol. One sack has the words: "Fed funds Musk gets".

When the impending crypto collapse occurs, are we going to bail out the crypto ex-billionaires and ex-millionaires?

Face it, when it comes to things that can be confused with currency, the world's governments believe in top down absolute protection - not control.
