 Yes, the economy is fucked. 😂

Food costs a fortune, but the farmers hardly get any of the money from the sale of the food. 
 LOL! Nah! You lyin'! It's doin' just fine! 😏🤙 
 LMAO 
 It can be surreal, living in a farming village, and then watching TV interviews of "city people on the street" complaining about how the farmers are all greedy rich people because the food prices are so high.

Yeah, so greedy that they're giving up farming because it's such a great get-rich-quick scheme. 🙄 
 I buy products for €2 that promise to pay the farmers at least 10¢.
ROFLMAO

 10¢ more, sorry. It's not that dramatic. 😂 But only on their portion of the price, so maybe 1¢ more per package. 
 😅 That's fine. I prefer all my food to be loaded with MSG anyway. 
 Let's see what happens. Maybe ppl realise where the problem is rooted and not VoTE fOR tHe RIGHT pArTy tHiS TiMe. FoR rEaLz. 
 Germany is when almost everyone votes against the Greens because they're making us poor and unsafe....
and then the Greens form a government. 😂 
 So weird. Truly, nobody wants to vote for anyone because all are kinda useless but that’s all we got 😭😂 
 Sad but true. Been this way since the dawn of time. It's as Einstein said

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." 
 Humanity hates to learn. Docility is a much easier survival tactic. A type of craven fight-or-flight response. 
 when you have a huge tractor with idk 300-400 liters gasoline tank, and have to refill it very often because of high gasoline consumption- these gasoline prices killing them! 
And only the amount of money you have to earn and pay to own a 300-500k€ tractor. 
 Yeah, especially as the other countries all subsidize the gasoline and ours is loaded up with taxes. 
 Need electric tractors 
 Still a bit futuristic but possible! 
 So fucked!

 Word! 😂 
 The economy is doing so good that people see news like this and think it's no big deal.

 We haven't quite reached "We pretend to work. They pretend to pay us." levels of economic fucked-upness, but we're getting there. 
 😅 I wish I could disagree
