Another response where the person who knows it all, can’t take time to enlighten the folks he thinks are so stupid.
Folks are always hawking some other place that does things better. If New Zealand’s production had exploded as much as they say it did, there would be an over-abundance of food, and farm product prices would be at rock bottom.
This isn’t an issue of leisure suites, boards, hammers, oil, or gas. It’s an issue of food, something we can’t get along without.
So yes, some things are important enough to do things differently on. Food is one.
The article also says New Zealand exports 90 percent of its food products. Without that, the collapse scenario that your article described might have happened to them. So far, they seem to be doing good, except in the dairy sector.
