Agriculture: The only industry where we produce a product and then try to create a market...instead of producing what the already existing market demands.
and the government provides price supports and gives it away free to countries they want to keep poor as local farmers can't compete with a free product.
government is so stupid. they have to be involved in everything. essentially government is a product without a market, reinforced by an education system to preserve it. that's why we need uneducated people to keep it propped up. think about it, we are going to flood our educational resources with people who have no eduction where they come from, can't read and write in their own language, and WE? are going to fix this? this is insane.
this thread is a metaphor for how stupid the american public has become in the last 30 years (since the last dam and powerplant were built in california). we, CA are tearing down dams which provide water and electricity, yet are mandating growth to finance an "unsustainable" population with sustainable, ie wealth redistribution and elimination of property rights, all in the name of progress.
ted turner is the best example of this BS. he got a bail out for his stupid bison at taxpayer expense because there was no market for his stupid product. why shouldn't he suffer, absorb the loss, perhaps even selling his land to cover costs to farmers who are motivated to make a profit?
this country is so upside down it's ridiculous. yet we rant for more communism.
