I look at this map, & the way it portrays the red vs the blue. Rural vs cities. Conservatives vs liberals. It’s misleading.
Do conservatives look at this & think, maybe, wow all that land is on our side.
Well, land doesn’t vote. There are individual farmers who still own land, but a lot has been bought up by corporate interests, & a lot of it stands idle so corps can collect subsidies. Or write it off on taxes.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is fucked up.
@DocLaing expect this talking point for 2024-
CORN & SOY ARE PEOPLE TOO, MY FRIEND!
And you're correct- big Ag & dairy pockets $320 BILLION in federal subsidies ..USDA 'assistance' ... lobbyists have bought DOI/BLM, regardless of administration.
Haaland is a giant disappointment & just the same as her predecessors. Our public lands are being destroyed without even fair compensation.
