Since I work on a first come first serve basis , Ill accept you too , he hasnt responded to my request yet ! P <| sep |> Farmers will tell you that a country can get by without a lot of uneducated , lazy , useless baby factories who are just creating more uneducated , lazy , useless baby factories while they watch television in their governmentfunded apartments . Farmers will tell you that a country can even get by without a car industry , for example . You are not put in any sort of real bind if you have to import Toyotas and Audis . If the borders close or prices get too high , you ' ll fix the cars you have until you can get Ford and Chevrolet up to speed again . You ' ll get by just fine . They will warn you , however , that a country that doesn ' t grow its own food is a country in peril . If the shit hits the fan and the borders all close , or imports are still available but countries are hoarding their own food and charging the US 20 times what they do now for it , how is your farmless and farmerless country going to put food on everyone ' s table tomorrow ? And the day after ? And the month after ? And the year after , if you haven ' t all starved by then ? In terms of security , you have to keep American farms working , even if that means using subsidies to make up for unfair competition from foreigners . End of warning from farmers . But farmers should shut the fuck up about people living on government assistance .
