grinreaper Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Hmmn, what with a ton of unfilled jobs and wages going up substantially one would think that retail would continue to be strong regardless of any glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Quote A wave of bankruptcies is sweeping the U.S. Farm Belt as trade disputes add pain to the low commodity prices that have been grinding down American farmers for years. Throughout much of the Midwest, U.S. farmers are filing for chapter 12 bankruptcy protection at levels not seen for at least a decade, a Wall Street Journal review of federal data shows. Bankruptcies in three regions covering major farm states last year rose to the highest level in at least 10 years. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which includes Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, had double the bankruptcies in 2018 compared with 2008. In the Eighth Circuit, which includes states from North Dakota to Arkansas, bankruptcies swelled 96%. The 10th Circuit, which covers Kansas and other states, last year had 59% more bankruptcies than a decade earlier. https://www.wsj.com/articles/this-one-here-is-gonna-kick-my-buttfarm-belt-bankruptcies-are-soaring-11549468759 ?♂️ Edited February 22, 2019 by Tiberius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the you get what you vote for in incompetent governance category: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/22/trump-trade-south-dakota-1180196 South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said Friday that President Donald Trump’s trade wars have “devastated” her state, and though she agreed that countries like China were not following fair trade practices, she urged the Trump administration to quickly wrap up its trade talks there. “South Dakota has been devastated by the trade wars that are going on,” Noem said at POLITICO’s State Solutions Conference, noting that agriculture is “by far” the largest industry in the state. The Republican governor warned that the trade woes of farmers can trickle down to the rest of the state, impacting “every main street business, everybody that has another entity out there that relies on a successful ag industry.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
