Oh a bit tongue in cheek, but like most things, the reality is complicated. Kind of like that far side of the cow holding a poorly painted sign that says "Eat More Chikin"
It's difficult to teach a man to understand a concept when his livelihood depends upon him not understanding it. You arent going to get the cows to support less Chicken subsidies, because people would eat more beef. You also arent going to get corn farmers to believe that ethanol is environmentally damaging or worthless, or that ethanol subsidies are a bad idea, because they would then have to believe they are morally bad for participating in that, and they know they are not immoral, so ethanol must not be bad. Also known as cognitive dissonance. On Fri, Mar 18, 2022, 8:38 AM Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I can't tell if you're sarcastic or not.
