Yes, but when it happens here people will just say that the “welfare” farmers deserved to go out of business and it is about time that someone who can do a better job of it has a chance and as in Zimbabwe, they won’t realize what a mistake they’ve made until it is too late. It is human nature, punish those who are perceived as wealthy (even though all that wealth is mortgaged to the hilt).
Already happened here - just by other means - OR: Klamath Valley (sucker fish protection), CA: San Jochin Valley (smelt protection), WA State: loggers (spotted owl protection), salmon drift net (marbled murrelet and Tribal Indian protection), North Dakota: world’s largest rare earth mine (incumbant presidential protection).
When they came for us... now it is the rest of the country’s turn.
