Could happen to a more obnoxious company... Support the farmers and give them a right to repair, maybe farmers across the world will pay the expense.
But giving the farmers the right to repair equipment they bought doesn’t increase shareholder value so why would they do that?
Because in a sane world farmers would be aware of the farmer value lost, so they'd preemptively cut their losses and go do business with someone else.
But alas, no.
Deere in 2024: Layoffs due to moving more production to China
Deere in 2025: layoffs due to tariffs due to moving more production to china
Mexico*
I got laid off last September from Deere, I built construction equipment. These layoffs have absolutely devastated my community. We have three plants here, plus the PDC and the headquarters. There are guys at Seeding right now with 16 years in that might get laid off.
But we have to remember the important thing: they're still giving millions of dollars in corporate bonuses and they're still making ludicrous profits. Who cares if a few hundred workers lose their jobs with no recourse? John May (he's the greedy pig-fuck CEO) needs caviar for his horses and a new boat.
Before i allow an ounce of sympathy i need to know who they voted for.
Flushed down the Deere john.
GM says $3 billion in losses in profit last quarter, and $5 billion expected in losses next quarter. Ford saying $2 billion. The number of right wing people that subscribe to I only by Chevy or Ford trucks is high. Same with John Deere, hopefully some of those people will slowly recognize this isn't good for anyone actually needing to work for a living
Have the day you voted for.
Or the day you apathetically stayed home and didn't vote for.
A lot of these fuckers voted for this. I am happy that they are getting the policies that they wanted.
Theyre going to get tired of all this winning
Hopefully they'll win themselves into some real action to right the ship.
Oh deer... Anyways
This was all ready happening before Trump. John Deere domestic manufacturing won’t exist for much longer.
