Summary
Federal funding cuts under Trump, including a $500 million program for food banks to buy local produce, are hitting rural communities like Rainelle, West Virginia, especially hard.
Dairy producer Trey Yates lost a key contract with Mountaineer Food Bank, threatening his business. Similar stories emerged from other small farmers relying on USDA grants now eliminated.
West Virginia, where Trump won 70% of the vote, relies on federal funds for over half its state budget.
Critics warn cuts will deepen poverty, strain schools, and devastate local agriculture-dependent economies.
As a person who is not comfortable sucking Disney’s cock fuck no I’m not
Piracy
I won’t even give them the mind share. I am a devout pirate.
Hear fucking hear! Fuck the mouse. I don’t care if watching Andor locks my age into 30, gives me a harem of willing concubines, and redistributes all of Elon’s wealth to me. I’m not watching it.
I’m not going to let Disney bother me over the best Star Wars thing I’ve seen in the last 40 years (presuming it maintains season 1 quality), but enjoy what you like!
Let’s hope they don’t ruin the last good thing they have going for them. I’m really looking forward to s2
I’m so sad that Ray Stevenson died. Baylen Skoll was the most interesting new SW character I’ve seen in a long time. Everything else about Ahsoka was mid (after a decidedly sub-mid start). Though I really hate the force gods storyline and that’s where his character was headed so maybe they’d have ruined that anyway.
I know everyone hated on the acolyte for good reason, but Manny Jacinto’s character was pretty interesting at the end. I feel like if that story had a little more room to grow…
I think I’m really hating on these super high budget 8-10 episode formulaic shows. Let’s go back to 24 episode seasons with lower episode budgets, more practical effects (less post production fuckery), and better character ensembles, like before the streaming age.
Anyway, let’s hope S2 lives up to expectations.
Oh and fuck the Trump voters the article talks about. I forgot about them.
