Actually, in the beginning, people only ate manna from heaven until Agriculture was invented by President Abraham Lincoln:

Even then, food was only the luxury of the super-rich until President Franklin Delano Roosevelt came up with the first food stamp program:

which provide food to people who did not get sick … this is because anyone who got sick died prior to President Lyndon Johnson inventing Medicare and Medicaid:

Unfortunately for the LOCAL FOOD industry, government sometimes makes mistakes as when President Lyndon Johnson invented transporation!

James, you are absolutely correct in your proposed action of “just sit back and marvel at the fools…”

I truly doubt that even 5% of the entire Congress and Senate officials – not their Staff, they themselves – have the education to understand the following:

The LINK shows why LOGISTICIANS and SUPPLY & DEMAND CHAIN PROFESSIONALS, along with related Marketing, Economics, and others in the food supply business earn good livings.

Politicians – stay out of the private marketplace…you have no clue to the harm you do.

Is this really happening? It sounds like something out of a whacky adventure-in-the-future movie.

No California tomatos allowed in New York. In West Hollywod, Ca. they are about to ban all clothes made from animal skins, hides, hair etc. I assume this not only includes fur but also wool and the like. Of course I understand how California, a land of true fruit loops, can elect such space cadets to office but the madness seems to permeate the entire country. I wish I could draw some conclusion here but I’m not smart enough so I’ll just sit back and marvel at the fools we are electing to office.
