The claim that the "free market" is the problem is completely empty of facts and is an ideological statement, not one based in any empirical reality. Why? The American agricultural system doesn't have a free market and hasn't for at least a hundred years. It is largely controlled by giant conglomerates facilitated by what ..? The government.
I liked how nuanced this conversation got, however I don’t fully feel like “parity” was explained in an understandable way, and I also think that there would need to be a large psychological shift in the powers that be to actually change a system in that large of a scale. I’d like to see more bottom up solutions presented on what the average joe can do rather than lament that we are being screwed over (which we always are).
