    Remember these subsidies aren’t given to help farmers it’s so these farmers can pay the bills they get from big ag corpos like John Deere and Monsanto. It’s corporate welfare while these farmers will go bankrupt anyway.

    Edit: also forgot to mention that these big ag corporations also have activity in Brazil and Argentina. These fuckers are getting paid twice by Trump.

    Don’t cry, little MAGA. I’m sure some huge agribusiness will buy your farm for pennies on the dollar.

    That’s Capitalism, right? You wanted the country to be Run Like A Business, yeah? Well this is Survival Of The Fittest, Bucko! You better thank Jesus that you live in the Greatest Place In The World.

    ‘I Voted for Trump and Now I’m Going Bankrupt’

    But you’re getting the giant ballroom, a war with Venezuela, and they’re finally getting rid of Callibri font.

    You losing your entire way of life was a small price to pay for such benefits.

    Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

        Apparently calibri is too woke, so they’re reverting to using times new roman for government documents

          I first learned how to use computers when Times New Roman was the default font in Word, but I’m not a stunted fuckup with daddy issues so I guess Calibri never bothered me.

          But Mark my words, the Conservative of tomorrow will be working fervorously to return to the glory days of when Calibri was their default font, because Conservatives always yearn to return to the days of their youth, when the world wasn’t so big and scawey.

          I am also picky about what fonts I use, but only those that I use.

          My requirements are

          1. Monospace (every character has same width)
          2. 1 !~= l and 0 !~= O and l !~= I (read “!~=” as “isn’t similar to”)

          I usually use Liberation Mono, Adwaita Mono and Source Code Pro. I also really like Terminess Nerd Mono, but it only looks good if line width equals to 1 pixel. It’s really only meant for fixed resolution.


          Well, Terminess isn’t doing so well with 1 and l.

          Mouse pointer… eh, anyway.

            I only use 3270. It is the one true font. At least for the terminal.

              I just like predictably sized text. It makes more sense to me to have document width in characters rather than in inches.
