2. Big Ag wins again
Tue May 13, 2025, 09:16 PM
Tuesday

Big Ag will play this as a win for the small farmer even though they’ll get diddly.

The Resnicks, huge Trump supporters and the folks who bring you Pom, almonds and pistachios while sucking the water table dry, will make out like bandits.

So will Ag giant Cargill: In 2019 the NGO Mighty Earth released a 56-page report on Cargill. Mighty Earth chair and former U.S. Congressman Henry A. Waxman called Cargill "the worst company in the world" and said it drives "the most important problems facing our world" (deforestation, pollution, climate change, exploitation) "at a scale that dwarfs their closest competitors.” Child trafficking, deforestation, unsafe products that kill people, you name it they do it
