Seriousposting for a sec: I imagine that the farmers have a pretty airtight case since the loan program is explicitly violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment. But the courts are pretty politicized so honestly who knows.
Pretty stupid policy. Just make it for the poorest farmers and you'll be predominantly helping minorities anyways, while avoiding civil rights violations. Why are leftoids pols like this?
I haven't looked at the specifics of the case at all, but the court has previously allowed for "positive discrimination" aimed at correcting "historical inequality" so this might make it.
It's this viewpoint which has created our current circumstance where, despite all rhetoric to the contrary, only whitoids actually suffer legally enshrined discrimination.
Think affirmative action or minority business incentives. I think the language I'm vaguely recalling in this post is from a Supreme Court case on college admissions.
Having 6 Republican appointees on the court may have been an opportunity to finally get rid of that stuff, but I don't expect anything impressive from this crew.
To be clear, I agree with your reasoning and I think racial programs like this undermine the stated purpose of the 14th amendment and the entire concept of equality in America.
I also don't think they'll ever go away and they're a big part of the reason that we've already hit and passed peak racial harmony with things only getting worse from here.
The court has just disagreed with us consistently so far.
You can get a lifetime membership for Rosetta Stone for a very reasonable price and it gives you access to all their language programs. I got it on sale for like 200 bucks.
Their method, which uses no English at all, is actually fantastic and I really recommend it.
And if you're worried learning another language is hard, remember that 75 IQ refugees do it.
Because of dumb shit like context you can't make arguments for that which don't appear racial, but a strong argument can be made that completely separate from racial stuff the 14th Amendment accelerated the deterioration of America.
I don't think you could ever put the genie back in the bottle obviously, I'm just saying.
Funny enough that's not even the same lawsuit. Miller is basically arguing that there is no way of telling nor standard the government is using to define what is 'underprivileged' or whatever, and is therefore constitutionally vague. The article I posted is a separate lawsuit on the same matter, arguing that it explicitly goes against the 14th amendment in it's entirety.
First Zimbabwe and now America, white farmers are finally getting their well-deserved reparations. 😎
If you're conservative and have money I think buying a farm is inevitable.
I've never grown anything in my life aside from some in door plants in a hydroponic system based around plastic bins as a much younger man, but I've been thinking about getting a new home after the housing market normalizes post-corona and I can see the appeal of a farm.
At the end of the day, it's just about having enough land that you can keep other people away from you.
Land has always been a good return on investment and most likely always will be. And if you don't know how to farm you can always rent out the farm ground.
My article is referring to a different lawsuit by different farmers in the midwest, the article you linked is about a separate lawsuit regarding the same government loan program.
They are separate lawsuits from different parts of the country, just against the same thing.
You caught me. You flat-out caught me. It's time to come clean.
Let me tell you a little bit about how I go through my day, which is also how literally every other moderator goes through theirs.
I wake up in my dingy, unwashed bed (which is covered with suspicious stains), then immediately scream for my mother to come downstairs and tell me that I’m a special boy. Once I feel sufficiently better than everyone else, I log in to Reddit, where I go through all of the top-secret communiques that I receive from whichever political party you personally dislike. Having accepted my marching orders, I motivate myself by going to town on my own backside with an anime-style figurine; a doll which looks vaguely like the world leader you most abhor. Then it’s time to get to work.
Pushing a narrative which irritates you – yes, specifically you – is obviously my first priority… but if a totalitarian regime which controls another country, religious group, or corporation has sent me enough money, I take whatever steps I can to promote or censor anything that’s even tangentially related to what they’ve highlighted for me. If the entity in question also happens to have a very small minority stake in Reddit (or if one of the site’s executives has rumored ties to their organization), then I make sure to publicly fellate them whilst simultaneously denying their influence. The more sucking that I do, the more cash I receive!
Mind you, I don’t actually spend any of that loot, because moving out of my parents’ basement would mean that I wouldn’t get that crack-of-noon ego-stroking anymore. No, rather than using those ill-gotten gains to improve my lot in life, I sculpt them into life-size (and anatomically correct) sculptures – using copious amounts of my own neck-sweat as glue – of the various public figures whose actions or perspectives anger you.
Anyway, once I’ve made certain that my corrupt overlords are pleased, I start looking for ways that I can ruin individual users’ days. Randomly removing posts (and then pretending that they were in violation of some invisible rules) is the only way that I can become aroused, after all, and I need to stand at my full, massive two inches if I’m going to be able to reach myself past all of my stomach fat. Having come to attention, I put on my self-pleasure hat – which is a trilby, of course – and start banning people who disagree with my opinions.
Those opinions having been carefully structured to go against yours, of course.
It’s time for a break by that point, so I spend an hour or three lecturing my waifu body-pillow about a given social trend that makes people (again, specifically you) upset. She’ll usually offer some kind of counterargument, which means that I need to throw an impotent tantrum. Whenever that happens, my only solace comes by way of somehow abusing my awesome Internet powers, typically while gorging myself on junk food, soda, and heaping handfuls of straight-up lard. Don’t ask me how that abuse actually manifests, though, because I’ll silence all of the remarkably insightful questions that you send my way. The thing is, I’ve never heard any of them before... and since my hidden masters haven’t told me how to respond, my only option is to screech at my computer monitor as I wildly flail around.
Those eight seconds of exertion tend to bring me pretty close to unconsciousness, so I have to completely ignore the communities that I govern for a while, thereby allowing a multitude of posts and comments to go through unchecked. Fortunately, they’re only ever submissions which you (once more, specifically you) find distasteful, so it still counts as a victory. At the same time, though, if you try to submit anything – especially if it’s entirely adherent to those invisible rules that I mentioned earlier – I’ll wheeze my way back into a semi-upright position for just long enough to mete out another completely unwarranted ban.
Finally, once all of that is done, I kill myself, frequently by dying in a fire. Getting the suggestion to do so dozens (or even hundreds) of times a day just proves to be too much for my utterly unfathomable intellect to handle, so I eventually succumb to the sweet embrace of death.
Besides, it’s the only way that I can get to sleep at night.
TL;DR: You don’t need to read this, because you’ve already decided that you know it all.

God knew that leftoid economics was too popular, so he balanced it by having leftoids espouse it

I grew up speaking it, but I still feel I am going to get fucked by the future, when the CCP rules the world.
I don't want to be associated with those lot, just because I happen to know the language (although in a more superior form), and look the part.

I'm a little r-slurred, your article clearly says "Midwestern farmers", lol. Not sure how I ended up on TexasPolitics.
