RE: The High Suicide Rate of Farmers in the US
:( my heart goes out for farmers in the US. I am very sensitive by this issue as Thailand is also in situations where farmers were treated unfairly through political mismanagement. A couple of years ago we had many farmer took their own lives as they were left with nothing and got cheated by the people they thought was protecting them (The Gorvernment). In Thailand we call farmers "The backbone of our Country" .... yet, there are too much space between the rich and poor. Sadly farmers are poor here and are not treated well.We used to be #1 at Rice exporters to the globe. A lot has changed since and I think that farmers aren't treated fairly here. I pray things will changed for the better soon...
Thank you for your post. 🙏🏻 🌿
That's great that the people recognize the role of farmers in sustaining their lives. They are indeed The backbone of our Country. Praying doesn't help, but acting, organizing, group and unite for whats right is what creates change for the better :) Thanks for the feedback.
If there was such to participate I would definitely join!!. It's just the our little country here. Everyone's voice is not heard the same. And freedom of speech is restricted to what the powerful people are comfortable with.
Hehe, on Steemit the rich can take your rewards if they don't like you or what you say, so you might find some familiarity here at times lol
