Why would I have a problem with farmers? Farmers actually work to produce something, so it’s not really a valid comparison. Landlords create nothing and provide nothing of value to society.
You know, farming is not defined by, “profiting from the things you grow.” Co-ops exist. But yes, in the current hyper-capitalist environment, most farmers are probably going to need to sell some shit to survive.
But there’s a massive difference between farmers in Iowa raking in tons of cash (including a shit ton of government subsidies) for providing more corn than we even need, and self-sustaining farms and/or communities that are not predatory.
For example, the Amish are farmers. They seem to do just fine without price gouging.
Every job involves having other people pay for your living costs.
My job doesn’t involve making a profit off of arguably the most important thing a human needs for survival… Just saying.
So you have a problem with farmers?
