  3. They show it’s easier to blame the government than to discuss & solve the real problem, out of control corporate profits. 53% of current inflation is excessive corporate profits!!

  5. As they should. France through macron and generally corrupt partisans mean eventually to implement totalitarianism. Climate alarmism its vehicle. That is why they in the eu attack and attempt to monopolize our food chain. That is also why we will persist in asserting your unworthiness to lead. And why everyone should buy a tractor. For all of your insular hubris you forget that many of the people you cartoonishly characterize as dumb are in fact smarter than your wildest fantasies. The qualitative differences are profound. And rhe future of my children will never be in your hands

  8. The libtards have managed to influence policy by blocking the roads with their bodies, farmers have vastly more physical power and a fight back is overdue.

  9. To anyone willing to listen, please forgive them, they do not know what they are doing, do not go out this way; value what you have

  10. Who is in power again?
    Someone is getting kicked out of the house.

    Food,,Wine,,,everything that makes a table is made from a farmer.
    Everything even your schools come from the table that feeds you. A farmer!
