Can I ask a stupid question? With the tariff stuff happening, and the goal being more American products. Are they purposely shutting down American producers to make Californians and Americans by more imported products?
I think it’s more the people at the top want more corporate farms that are on their side/easier to control, while the front line people who actually work to shut down these farms are environmentalists that don’t like farmers “destroying” the natural landscape.
They want to homogenize the American economy for the purposes of control and extraction. Making Americans dependent on foreign food supply is also an added benefit.
From a governance point of view it is much, much easier to deal with the biggest 20% of companies than it is to deal with thousand upon thousands of small businesses.
Those companies have lobbyists who will meet with politicians and tell them specifically what they want. Big companies will give assistance to the politician to get what they want, like writing bills for them to propose or donating to their reelection campaign or funding Super PACs.
Big businesses can also offer sweeteners like good jobs to politicians after their political career is over.
These priorities are retarded, because the economy at large is 80% small businesses. Small businesses are the smallest and most flexible, and best able to respond to changing circumstances, like tariffs.
There you go. It isn't necessarily graft and corruption. It could just be laziness and incompetence.
I'm sure that's part of the goal. I think it's the iocane gambit. They poison everyone, but think they have an immunity. Sadly, these are Sicilians when death is on the line...
It was a pleasure to watch and enjoy again. I have been very busy with life and this is the first time in months that I had time to watch a movie all the way through.

I know Bill Gates owns the largest percentage of farmland in the US, so I imagine you are right
Yes, but not because of the tariffs.

It doesn't even need to be a scheme to make us import anything. Control of the food supply is plenty of power and worth pursuing all on its own.
They call that level of micromanagement Keynesian economics, correct?
Officially, no. But the concept gives rise to the argument that "price stability" is what is needed in order to justify government intervention.

Yes, I watched the movie today.
A man of culture.
