Something doesn't add up.

I grew up next to an active farm and the owner did exactly that. He only sold maybe 10% of his land and he is a multi millionaire.


Then the former farmer who sold his land doesn’t have a problem, he also isn’t a farmer any more. The person who bought the land is now a farmer ( and in huge debt ) and has a the same problem the that existed to begin with , he can’t make a profit off the operation he runs.
Selling the land doesn’t fix the root problem of operating a farm not being profitable.

German and French farmers are protesting. Is that in someway unclear?


Farmers worldwide are protesting I know it's hard for someone like you who only reads UK tabloids.

I forgot why I don't generally have discourse with you because you have the same conceited pompous attitude any "brit" I've ever met has.

I will no longer put fourth an effort to have a conversation with you. Have a nice day :thumbsup:

I hear that but not always the case. Most land is bought to be developed as something else. The farmer in my hometown sold a large plot to a supermarket and other plots to housing developers.

Still has 90% of his original farm and also has a few million in the bank. Literally can live of the interest.
While I accept that is not the case for everyone. I still don't see the logic in subsidising unprofitable farmers further and further.
If you can't make a profit farming land why would you buy land for that purpose and then complain because it isn't profitable?

I accept the conditions of your surrender as racially motivated as they are.

I don’t even read your posts if they are over 3 lines long, they give off early stage dementia vibes.

I read what everyone says. Every word. I respect everyone's opinion including yours.

I respond with as much context as possible to support my opinion. Even if I'm wrong I admit it and stand corrected.

I can understand you don't do the same for others. Like I said you are from the UK and it's well known around the world that people from your country are conceited and have a pompous attitude.

We Americans are just as bad but we only have 250 years of experience in being arrogant assholes.

Your rambling stream of consciousness style of posting is not compatible with my interests. I cannot apologise for being pragmatic about this.

Best of luck conquering your anti imperialist PTSD. We were just the best to ever do it and that has a lasting effect.

I don't really care about a country that fell into obscurity 248 years ago. The fact that you guys still have a golden spoon up your ass is a total delight to the rest of the world.

That's why British humor is so funny. Jokes are on you! :rofl: :thumbsup:

That's exactly what they do if they're getting a raw deal.

But as pointed out the new owners inherit the same problems.

What happens then is no one farms = no food is produced = mass famine. This is literally what happens in communist countries. It adds up perfectly.
