If they're so fucking efficient, why are "farmers" some of the biggest welfare recipients in America? Since at least Earl Butz's time (the "get big ot get out" guy) it's not been about efficiency, it's been about the government using the tax dollars they steal and USDA regulations (lobbied for by big ag corporations) to incentivize (dictate) what is grown, where, and for how much. Sounds like commie shit to me.
Because domestic food production is critical to national security. If you let the cheapest shitholers supply the country's food then you'd be beholden to those shitholes for food. That's a bad thing.
Look at what happened to microchip production for a more recent example. We LET that production move out of the US and into ching chong wing wong land and now our chip fab capability is a joke.
We are the biggest exporter of food in the world, and if food was not treated as global commodity, we'd never be beholden to anyone for anything except maybe coffee. As a bonus, if we stopped feeding the third world, there'd be less of them to invade civilized countries.
