I can agree that alcohol probably shouldn't be allowed on nuclear submarines (and alcoholics shouldn't be allowed to crew them). It's relatively easy to enforce. A prohibition of sex, however, is nigh impossible to enforce (except a posteriori, which is too late to be useful). So it's far better to discourage it, expect it to happen, and educate everybody on how to deal with any tensions that arise from it. Most things (like murder) are difficult to enforce except for a posteriori.. but if that later enforcement causes some degree of deterrence, then it is successful. | ||

President Donald Trump unexpectedly called out Canada on Thursday over the impact of their agricultural policy on American farmers. “I want to end and add by saying that Canada — what they’ve done to our dairy farm workers is a disgrace. It’s a disgrace,” Trump bluntly stated during a ceremony in the Oval Office. The President noted that he “spent time with some of the farmers in Wisconsin — and as you know, rules, regulations, different things, have changed; and our farmers in Wisconsin and New York State are being put out of business — our dairy farmers.” Trump continued by contending, “The fact is, NAFTA — whether it’s Mexico or Canada — is a disaster for our country. It’s a disaster. It’s a trading disaster.” The billionaire added that “we can’t let Canada or anybody else take advantage, and do what they do to our workers and to our farmers.” Trump later announced that “we’re going to have to get to the negotiating table with Canada very, very quickly…this is another NAFTA disaster, and we’re not going to let it continue onward.” http://www.mediaite.com/tv/its-a-disgrace-trump-slams-cananda/ This is random | ||

Something is certainly rotten in the state of Denmark but the question really is, is it just a chain of many stupid and incompetent people or a larger conspiracy? As of now I'm leaning towards the former because I don't see any consistency in how things go ungoodly in the government. | ||

Trump looks at this purely from the perspective of an American producer of Y and demands that someone fix it. It's a really worrying level of ignorance from a political leader. To the point that we should probably see if Xi Jinping can spare a few minutes to explain basic economics to him. | ||

I think it would be easy for Dems to start targeting more farm areas if they'd just focus more on it (Franken as far as I can tell is the only Democrat who does because he's a member of the minnesota democratic farmer-labour party) | ||

Absent that, we export the extra food. Which is fine, there are sections of the world that can’t specific types of food. | ||

Can't imagine this new version not getting curbstomped in the Senate. If it doesn't lose too many moderates on the House and even gets out that is. We'll find out as early as next week. | ||

So we import some foods(strawberry in winter) that sell. If we move to a purely self sustaining style of farming, it would need to be entirely state run and controlled to assure that we don’t overproduce food that we cannot consume. Absent that, we export the extra food. Which is fine, there are sections of the world that can’t specific types of food. minor quibble. We have the ability to have no problem feeding people but due to realities and lack of support 1 in 6 Americans are food insecure. Meanwhile republicans want to cut after school programs that feed people and SNAP | ||
