ETA because farmers are idiots and don't know how to efficiently run their business

you might not have used the subsidy, but you definitely used that truck as a tax write off

I don't hate farmers. I've got quite a few farming buddies. I really get along with them if they flood their fields and let me hunt them!

people have a problem with the subsidies because it ensures the farm will not fail

other business owners have a problem with this, as if their business does poorly, they go out of business

the farmer gets bailed out by the government

Well when you don't have a nearly endless supply of food we'll all be cool.

That's good. Honestly. I want to do the same some day. But the vast majority of the US would die if they had to do so. Now I'm not saying they wouldn't adapt, but then our country steps back a few decades.

bullshite. If the majority of Americans that couldn't manage to feed themselves died off, it would be a HUGE step forward. Last week proved that.

Doesn't happen in most cases of family farms.
