Rep. Ron Kind, a Democrat, I didn’t catch the state, finally pointed out how corporatist the farm bills are. He pointed out how they favor massive producers rather than small ones. This deserves a special note. He still wants to somehow create a “non market distorting” farm bill though. This guy’s ideas might just be better than most of what’s being offered, but they’re still not good. $500 million for minority farmers, for instance, is completely wrong. Race politics like that is unhealthy.
Another thing that deserves a special note is that I just fixed the timestamps. I’d been many hours off the correct time before. It’s not a retroactive fix, so it’ll only apply from here on forwards. I’m not in Australia though, and I think the time stamps before were set for somewhere in Australia.
