Gas and fertilizer prices are up by 50 - 70%. Drought and other weather disasters are rampant due to climate change. The Big Tech data centers are draining the aquifers.

The upside is that Big Oil and Big Tech are making out like bandits. Just look at that S&P!

The Republican Agenda is not good for farmers and other working folks.
