look you are talking about a corrupt institution self policing by doing nothing, I'm talking a group who have an external distorting force performing better without it
I'm not, I'm saying if you just leave something alone it just happens.
Because that's your solution to farmers ails.
Just take the subsidies and leave them alone.
if you leave certain things alone they self correct, yes
So how do you prevent farmers from packing up if it isn't worth it?
I want some farmers to pack up. I think we have too much farming
Okay, but what about the farmers that actually use the subsidies to mark their produce down?
And then they need to either produce more, or they need to charge more.
let them raise the price, perhaps americans will stop eating so much
Okay...
That won't happen, and if the store can import for cheaper...
let them
why not?
Haha.
You're funny.
"Just let domestic farming die if it doesn't work."
it won't die
I know, I was just saying it would suffer.
I don't see why the current farming industry suffering is a bad thing
Well you're simultaneously saying it is not their fault, but also saying that they need to take responsibility...
Which is it?
yes, because government currently is taking the responsibility
they need to take responsibility from the government
Okay, but if they go from making 75000, to 50000, and decide it isn't worth it to continue anymore?
75000 is the median salary of farmers and ranchers.
So they don't make a lot of money for what they do.
median.....
Average whatever.
yeah some on the lower end might quit
so what
Well...
In times of war
It's difficult to import.
At times.
we far over produce
it isn't a problem
Yes, people so that because it works for them.
If it didn't, they wouldn't do it
I don't follow
