Reminded me of this guy who earned a nobel prize for helping figure out how to stop a disease called "rust" that affected wheat. Back then, we basically used that as a tool in foreign policy to help india avoid a famine because we weren't led by complete idiots:
Another thought about the end is it might be good for the democrats to pick up on the "essential worker" stuff from covid completely disappearing. Like, a line like "When you couldn't leave your house, these workers essential. Now they're essentially worthless?"
Really interesting convo. So frustrating to hear how this problem flies below the radar and is jeopardizing our nation's farmers and farms. Ultimately we'll all pay for the greed of a few. Thank you to your guests who explained the problem so clearly that even I (a lifelong urban dweller) can understand.
