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.
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.
