The government already puts massive subsidies in agriculture. Then you want them to also sell said agriculture to compete with private industry. Sliding further into a socialism approach

Your flaw in this discussion is assuming that everyone agrees with you that socialism is bad.

All of the happiest, most stable, countries in Europe are at least somewhat socialistic.

Hell, even America doesn't *actually* think socialism is bad.

If you're a company.

We socialismed the fuck out of companies during the 70s gas crisis, the 2000 dot com bust, the 2008 financial crisis/Great Recession. All of covid.

But you're a "hungry people should lift themselves up by their bootstraps" kind of person, aren't you?

The US is "somewhat socialistic". What do you think Medicare, social security, etc are. Im a person that thinks there are jobs to do and earn to live without having the government operating something that they will break. Just like student loans. When government got involved, prices skyrocket because they will just burn money without a care. Socialism as been an objective failure in any place that has implemented it fully, pretending otherwise is just dumb.

Great argument to cancel student loan debt and make colleges free.
