DEAL, however as these farms are worked by the public they should become owned by the public. And the harvest be distributed at-cost to the public.

While we're at it, nationalize ~~Monsanto~~ fuckin Bayre I guess. Either that or stop letting them fucking copyright seeds.

Monsanto has not existed as a brand since 2018. The name of the new baddie is Bayer, who acquired them and got rid of thae name. Same shitty playbook, but let’s focus our anger on things that exist.

Sorry, haven't kept up with the ever-shifting hydra of corporations well enough I guess 🤷‍♀️.

Hydra is right. They’re owned by the same group of entities who all have cross-holdings in each other making them essentially one giant megacorp.

It’s just another example of how great public works programs were. If the workers were housed/fed/paid decent wages, I think people would sign up in droves to travel around and do work that improves their country all the while learning useful trades/skills. And something like publicly owned farms would probably pay for themselves.
