I'm not disagreeing with you - I'd love for the entire food system to use those methods.
However...They need plenty of slop to feed the useless eaters while they protest ICE...etc.
The whole system is entirely fd up - ESPECIALLY when it comes to meat and the bs USDA cartel...Try raising meat birds and see how many die on the way to the closest USDA processor 4 hours away... because you're too small to afford your own guy on staff. That's just chickens ...
Big Ag has made it impossible for family owned farms to exist with megadonor lobbyist corporate agriculture. I totally sympathize with anyone that chooses the lifestyle of self-sufficiency.
Not entirely true, it depends on what state you live in. Indiana has thriving small farms all over. Yes there are big ones too. Did the rules change for farming? You bet, just like they change for every industry.
Farmers have to stay on top of things just like everyone else. And here is proof. I work with farmes almost every day, even new kids in their early 20's getting their first bird or hog barn up and going. Then a year later were setting up their 3rd barn, planning for 5 more.
Farming is no different from any other industry. Some places the small guy gets squeezed out, others they thrive.
Sucks that a lot of family farms got crushed through market manipulation. We gotta fight to level the playing field for small farms. However, like i said, just know there are many that are thriving, and new ones going up all the time.
Can you imagine if we didn’t cater food to ICE protests? Poor dears might balloon back to under 425 and have to start spending their hair dye and tattoo budgets on food.
Might would just collapse society. No, we have to keep funding them. It’s an important role.

The Amish have it figured out. Traitors we can't have close to the President. No matter who the fuck they are.
Totally different model.

Don't I know it...
Shut down at every turn...by design

Something to celebrate.

The hair dye and septum peircing industries would fall apart
Well ... I didn't mean to insinuate there was actual catering involved... but hey, why not. Isn't that one leg of the Somali Learing Centre grift?
