    Default Are The Seeds I Just Planted Your Food?

    I own a farm...a big one. You live in a city nearby and rely on the food I grow to survive. I plant my crop but then decide farming is too hard so I rip up the land before the plants even begin to grow and build a water park which is less work for me and more money and you all die of starvation.

    Did I kill you? Did I destroy your food?
    Don't be afraid to see what you see

    Lets start with the obvious, you do not own a farm. You may live in a rural area, because you cannot afford to live in a better place, but that does not make you a farmer.

    Farming is about 1% of the world's economy. That means there is plenty of money (and production) to buy food. If one farmer stops producing, then we buy from other farmers. If all American farmers stop producing, then we find other farmers in other countries to buy food from. If they do not have the technology to produce enough food, we invest the technology into them buying food.

    Food (from farmers) is such a tiny part of my family's budget that I doubt I would even notice if the price doubled. Farmers would darn well notice if the price halved.

    As for having a farm near a city, and using it as a farm... City land is worth hundreds or thousands of times as much as farmland. It would be crazy to not turn it into a water park, industrial facility, research facility, or whatever. There is more than enough farmland out in the middle of nowhere. It is more efficient to have people more densely living in one area, and to have farmers out in rural areas.

    I worry about the Alt Right and their fantasies of importance. Maybe if they got jobs, they would not have to live in fantasy worlds.

    Nope. But you'll be the one to starve.

    A water park the size of a big farm would be quite the spectacle but not very profitable.
    Also, if the people had no place else to buy food, they wouldn't be around to visit your water park at all.

    Meanwhile, however, there are no shortage of other farms to pick up your former customers.
    Shit, there are even other water parks.

    If you actually were a farmer, you would know that many state and local governments zone land for agricultural use, and/or establish tax incentives, to prevent the conversion of productive farmland to commercial uses.

    Call it socialism if you want, but as a society we have collectively decided through our elected representatives that protecting and maintaining productive farmland is in the general interest of the nation.

    all these nonsensical words when you simply could have said 'you hate american farmers'.................
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    So they sell the farm and divide it up in lots for development. That's what the kids did with the farm I used to hunt small game on.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Productive and valuable farmland tend to get protected against commercial development by zoning laws and tax incentives. That is not to say less productive and less valuable farmland cannot be converted to other uses.

    You will only kill yourself. The others will find a way to survive.
