You dont work in ag. Not even adjacent to it.
Waste, and excess capacity are universal Constants, because prices are kept so arbitrarily low.
Prices are so low entire groves go unpacked because even with slave wage labor, it still costs more to ship the shit than to leave it on the tree
Ah, so your argument is that since there's so much inefficiency and waste, we can afford to lose 70% of the agricultural workforce, huh. They're just basically there for decoration and we don't actually need them, and we just pay them salaries because, you know, it's fun?
They're subsidized by taxes, and used for luxury export. They're not for decoration, they're cash cows for rich people.
You said people would starve. I'm telling you most of the food grown DOESNT FEED US.
So fucking YES 70% of it going away wouldnt starve anybody, because it isnt feeding anybody.
