According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still -- when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.

FDR is to blame for that
it's (mostly) not about government subsidies anymore; it's about supply and demand being entirely uncoupled. I would put the blame far more firmly at the hands of edward bernaise and lee atwater.
remember; we do this with clothes and toys and literally every product.
Worked at a job that aggressively destroyed unsold product to the point that we had a form to fill out and needed a witness to sign it.
Coworker and I "witnessed" each other "pulverizing" stuffed toys by passing them along to needy children orgs and "dumpstering" other products in thrift store donation bins.
Fuck their "brand integrity" when they're throwing out perfectly good products to make room for more crap people don't need.
absolutely. this shit is unforgivable. the only cure is the guillotine. not just killing them, but doing it publically, showing anyone who would ever do this shit again that we ALL want them dead, and nobody will save them, nobody will come to their defense, because they do good for nobody.
