Securing a domestic food supply is probably a good idea, strategically.

Sometimes it only takes a single policy or idea. What if AOC became president in 2021 and ran off the premise that she will push 100% of her Green New Deal program through and had Dem control of congress and the supreme court.

Now there is a ton to go over in that plan, but let's just assume she bans air travel by "x" date and moves to build speed railways immediately. Let's use California as a great example as to how development of the speed rail system has failed and continues to just eat up money.

Now let's apply that to a National Scale and this is trillions of dollars (who and where is that money coming from) to try and accomplish something that will take decades. Yes it will provide jobs, but it while siphon every penny we have.

Now my problem isn't with the idea as a whole, I think a country full of trains would be awesome, but that is just one item from her plan that is going to cost trillions of dollars and there are many other items that could cost trillions too. So now I'm stuck wondering if this woman is insane and really thinks all this can be done, or she's just putting out some crazy plan and so every plan after that would look mild and reasonable. For just this policy alone, I would never vote AOC for president.


I'm speaking with hyperbole obviously, but this is the kind of all or nothing logic that it sometimes feels like will happen if Democrats have power.

Same thing that’s wrong with Chinese air. Their regulations are less than ours.

Similarly, the UK people are desperately trying to prevent importing American chicken because American food standards are much less strict. American chicken export is garbage compared to their domestic product.

Can you point out these regulations regarding pork livestock, and the differences between the two countries?
