When we pay farmers to destroy their crops, starvation due to lack of food is not a problem. It’s due to politics.
TRUE! During the Depression the US still produced so much food outside the Dust Bowl that steak was still the cheapest meat on the market.
The US government in the 1930s then bought up thousands of cattle, pigs and milk, dumped the milk and shot the cows and pigs to get the prices up.
Ten years later the same government agents were begging the ranchers to increase beef production for the war effort.
You can’t tell a cow to produce twins or a pig to make more piglets.
