    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Farming is such a fascinating part of the economy.

      Highly strategic, highly intertwined with government policy.

      Should farmers just have explicit guarantees and price protections from the government? Seems like the government always comes to their rescue anyways - why not make it predictable.

      Also - I have no idea what I'm talking about.

        Look at some history before any type of government allotments, price supports etc. I think you'll find it interesting...

          I'm not a fan of price supports or government market propping at all.

          But this seems like a market (like the defense market) - where we want stability for strategic reasons.

          Given those circumstances - I don't know what works.

          I'm usually a pro-private industry with smart regulations sort of guy. Seems inappropriate here.
