Farmers ar being paid to plow under crops right now.
This started a long time ago. With most seeds being genetically modified today, having seeds that can be taken from veggies and replanted, growing new crops is impossible.
And that’s where all of this will fall apart.
WTF is wrong with you?
Yeah, the heavies can ride out a famine much longer than the lightweights.
Oligarchs buying up farmland and Biden’s plan to take away family farms comes to mind.
I don’t see it out of the realm of possibility at all.
That’s why I am learning more about gardening and buying seeds that are heirloom so I can save them myself.
We burn almost half of the corn in vehicles, ostensibly to help the environment.

Don’t promote the bastards !
Thank God I have a garden and 52 fruit trees. Plus there’s enough quail and deer to fill the gap. And if that doesn’t work then I can take it from my neighbors. Just kidding. Right.
I think the conclusion is incorrect. It’s not the government is trying to starve the public, but more likely, Democrats trying to both impoverish Republican farmers while enriching their corporate farm cronies.
America has long had too much food. Even during the Dust Bowl when thousands of farms from Texas to Canada were destroyed, the farmers outside of that region still produced too much food. And with the accompanying currency deflation and money shortage, food wasn’t profitable to ship to market.
And every US state has its own agricultural industry. To try to throw America into starvation would be a Herculean task, far beyond the schemes of the flea-bites currently in office.
This is totally 100% BS. Farmers are not being paid to destroy crops. Two things that should let you know it’s fake - agent orange was outlawed in the 70’s and does anyone really think a farmer is going to use a lawn mower LOL.
There are several of these spoof vids out there, don’t fall for it.

It’s threads like this one that makes me wish I had the Tin Foil Hat concession for freerepublic.
“Farmers are not being paid to destroy crops.”
Farmers have been paid to NOT grow crops for decades. Why should we not believe the farmers now?
I will do my shopping at any gated community.
People here really don't know how good they "have it".
Very true, sociopathy is a requirement for the desire for power granted by government.
Unfortunately a certain proportion of sociopaths have a psychosis making them psychopaths.
Biden/Harris/Obama/Pelosi/McConnell et. al. come to mind.
Today will forever be on the calendar as Pfascism Day.
When I hear the fear and anger in the voices of people who escaped totalitarian societies only to see it here…well I listen to them.
