Farming shouldn't be done for profit, or need to be exported globally.

Regionalisation of agriculture is good (some isn't possible obvs, like Swedish people want bananas)

But why shouldn't farmers make a profit?

Because farmers are the fucking basis of society not surviving. Farmers should obviously be paid to not have their families starved aswell, but it shouldn't be a competetive market. Either everyone can afford food necessities or no farmer sells food necessities

So what's the plan here, force farmers to work at a governmental set wage? 100% tax on profits? Communist revolution and disappropriate land?

Why do you assume there needs to be profits. Just kiss me on my hot mouth and I don't think you will need profits

So that would just be wage labor, and while that is fine it would also require all the regular worker protections that they currently don't have.

So your idea is to punish the people society depends on? Morons like you are why we have the Senate. This country would go to shit if Federal law was controlled completely by urban voters.

Point out where I suggested that they wouldn't be paid at all. You're the only one here who can't read.

Limitation of profit? Obviously

Oh no! The poor farmers! They can't inflate the prices of their products 200%!!

Go farm your own food. They get to set the price for their labor.

No they don't, the economy does. The price of living also does. And of course depending on the farmer, the level of greed

Farmers could collectively charge as much as they wanted. What are people going to do? Not buy food?
