    More airline bailout talk

    Looks like airlines are lining up for a package soon ....in an industry that can charge to make themselves profitable when covid is over...

    Airlines want forgivable loans....these are companies that were making good money just a few short months ago...

    Where is our farm groups when they hand this money to airlines?

    Why don't they stand up and say how about farmers that don't have the ability to mark up their product?

    Dairy farmers have said show us the money promised.

            There is an ad on the radio that says we are all in this storm together but we are not all in the same boat. Sure is a true statement ,most of the people in our town would light there hair on fire to get $22/hr.

                The same amount that have been affected in the states that Trump has been throwing money at...

                Which has distorted the market...

                The airlines are just having a drought....why not analyze their books over a 5 year period and wait until they are done books and then average it out....

                Why not an agristability like program to analyze the airlines issues?????
