The following articles and videos detail why I don't think anything necessary for survival should be centralized or privatized. These stories point out why things like growing, processing, and distributing food should not be driven by a profit motivation.
Incentivizing individuals, groups and corporations to partake in the production and supply of food with the promise of wealth ultimately incentivizes them to pursuit of monopoly over a commodity upon which all of mankind relies. The act of incentivizing profit within the food industry in a Capitalist Society invariably culminates in the need to regulate all competition out of business. Whether fair or not, regulating farmers and ranchers out of business is exactly what governments around the world are currently doing. If you think that no government with its citizen's best interests would never threaten something as important to Humanity as its food supply, think again. Click on the articles and videos on this post's page and then do your own research to uncover what's happening to farmers all over the World.
Now, I would be willing to bet that whatever the quantity produced by these farmers and ranchers, it will NOT be diminished. It will simply be produced by others. And, who are these "others" who could afford a proposition as daunting as buying out a failing farm or ranch. Who are those who could then get the very regulations that put the original farmers and ranchers out of business repealed?... It's not me and I doubt that its anyone listening or reading this post. I would be willing to bet that it could only be people like Bill Gates, who is already one, if not the largest owner of farmland in America.
What greater power could one wield than to own and control the food supply of a nation? No matter the currency of that nation or the strength of its leadership, their power would pale in comparison to the power one would possess by controlling that nation's food supply... That is until the peasants revolt and wrest control away from egomaniacs such as Gates who seek control UBER ALLES.
Just imagine allowing the fate of your family to rest in the hands of someone like Bill Gates, a man who made 500,000,000 five hundred MILLION dollars by promoting an untested vaccine to the entire population of the United States of America. While he may not have succeeded in getting every single person vaccinated, he did succeed in profiting from a medical treatment that was backed by little to no experimental proof. Maybe America should NOT base its medical decision on a college drop out, with no real expertise in medicine to deal with a pandemic. Maybe America should NOT allow the type of person who makes illicit profits off of the misery caused by a pandemic to own more farmland than some small nations.
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
