Caleb Ragland says his pleas to the Trump administration have fallen on deaf ears.

Despite his support for Trump, Ragland has become increasingly vocal about the need for immediate trade resolution. “We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. “We wanna encourage the administration to get a proactive trade deal done.”

    How all the soy boy beta cucks working for this administration will sound this winter while trying to reassure Americans we don’t need to resort to cannibalism just yet bc we still have an insane surplus of unprocessed soy beans we have to do something with.

    I say this as a vegetarian. I’m kinda looking forward to hearing what kind of propaganda these people will spin to explain the sudden 180. “Awkshully, soy has always been one of the most hyper masculine protein sources available in the western hemisphere.”

    Maybe if you do nothing and just let the crops rot they will auto ferment into blocks of tofu?

      They will likely dump the crops in the ocean to keep prices stable like they do with many other surpluses. One of the worst things about capitalism, instead of trying to feed the poor or do something useful with it

        Or the government subsidizes it buying up enough of the crop to raise the price and then destroys it. They could buy up some of the crap and then give it to people that weren’t going to buy soybeans anyway.
