We really need to get rid of corn subsiding…
Much like oil subsidies is why we still buy gas guzzlers as a society, subsidizing corn leads to HFCS being shoved into everything because we’ve already paid for it so it’s basically free. From an economic standpoint it’s stupid not to use a bunch of it.
But like, if we don’t need a shit ton of corn, let’s just fucking grow less corn…
Let it go back to woods and give farmers a buyout to let it stay wild for 50 years
We grow all this unnecessary corn so we can be self-sufficient on food at any time, in case a world war breaks out
In theory it could be positive because it provides a better bargaining position for the US to de-escalate a potential world war
I’d rather we stop it because it’s wasteful, and that bargaining position could easily be used for brinksmanship by the US (which we have somewhat seen with Trump, although not yet at that level)
Buddy…
We need diesel to harvest, we save that diesel by dying it red and saving it for agriculture use…
trump is letting states use those reserves for road use, and farmer won’t have any to harvest.
And if we were saving for food, we’d save soybeans
I can’t remember the last time I even ate KFC, they have really gone down hill over the years. I much prefer Church’s chicken.
All this because they couldn’t figure out how to sell grilled chicken.
But what of their proprietary Mountain Dew?!
