The nice thing about Piven and her kind is the fact that they’re too stupid to recognize the big flaw in their argument.
She assumes that all Americans are non producing pure consumers but we aren’t. We flyover Americans have been taking care of ourselves and the non producers for the past 80 years or so.
Most of my staple foods are grown right here in Michigan and much of that inside of 50 miles. I’ve got a 30 gallon tote in the garage full of dry beans and dried tomatoes that I grew right here. Next year I plan to triple that.
Excellent point.
Of course, the closest any urban liberal has come to understanding farming is the hydroponic pot garden growing in their spare bathroom.
