Relative to China, America has

-4x more prime farmland
-1/4 as many people to feed
-that farmland is higher quality soil
-receives more regular rainfall (no monsoon pattern)
-has warmer winter temperatures
-has cooler summer temperatures

Add to your list:

  • US farms get billions of dollars in government subsidies per year.
  • farms destroy their crops during times of surplus to keep market prices up.

But poor farmers are going to starve if we let children eat for free.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
