“We tested. I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes. A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, so, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning.”

A lot of family farms will be squeezed out, some already are by the USAID cuts resulting in them not getting what they thought were firmly committed payments.

It won't be aspiring family farmers picking up the land cheaply at the inevitable auctions, it will be hedge funds and Big Ag, Trump's real base.

I shouldn't have to pay for your water. Same as I shouldn't have to pay your student loans or your medical care. This misappropriation needs to stop and I hope all of this disclosure being made public by DOGE does that in the end. Your community is responsible for your needs via your tax contribution. Sounds like y'all will need to cough up more funding to fix your leak since you couldn't get it done before the 'weather' bothered y'all.

As to the comment 'cheap ag land'. There hasn't been any 'cheap' land in a very long time. Good luck finding some. Even the Amish are paying significant prices for 40 acre plots of rock and clay out here. So much I don't know where they get the money to put a 20YO man and his family on the property to make enough money to pay the note. I have not seen any young people striving to start their own place either. Unless you have land in the family you will not be able to get your 40 acres and a mule.

Lots of retirees are buying plots at a premium to put their big barndominium and a few head of cattle on it (write off) to escape the places they came from.

No, the structure of political goodies farmers get is relevant to discussion. The discussion should and needs to take place in Congress and not at the Executive.

Of If I could snap my fingers and make law, the corn subsidy would die like the tariffs on tobacco was killed by a Republican Congress and Mitch McConnell.

The point is, I can’t and shouldn’t have that ability. No msn under our system does. That is great. It is left to Congress.

Maybe root out the corruption if your tax money is not going to such projects?

Who created the subsidies for corn? Al Gore by a large margin

Like most politicians in the late 1990s, Gore supported huge subsidies for ethanol made from corn — a decision that was later blamed for higher food prices.
