- Resources of all kinds-food, metals, you name it-are becoming more abundant over time.
In fact, population growth increases abundance as more minds get to work solving scarcity.

The problem isn't lack of resources, it's the people who control the resources.
Bingo
Kinda less actual control more incompetently handle but generally yes.
here in California we have a government self made droughts. in Africa most countries are peice of crap government they're not caring for their citizens we give them billions of dollars to feed em
YES
@@lyingdogfacedponysoldier5746 like Nestlé.
What we are short on is people with INTEGRITY NOT RESOURCES.

He who controls the food, controls everything…same can be said for energy resources, water….Elon is correct…he’s just not saying it out loud. Integrity and decency…now those are 2 commodities in short supply.
True
Correct 💯
Absolutely
Governments literally force dairy farmers to dump insane amounts of milk down the drain.
That is very interesting, they do it to control the offer and as consequence the price?
Not just milk, farmers are paid not to grow crops except corn, which they put into gas. But if farmers were allowed to farm, the price of food would go down. If big Pharma wasn’t constantly trying to create pesticides that prevent crops from growing and farmers were allowed to use organic pesticides that have been used before the 20th century people wouldn’t be so sick.
Holy crap I didn't know that
Flase rational. Processing plants in the Midwest have run out of capacity at a time when cows are making more milk than ever before. There's more milk than ever in the US but nowhere left to process it, forcing farmers across the Upper Midwest to pour the excess dairy down the drain
I always admire Elons approach to getting his point across. He’s never afraid to push back or correct someone who he disagrees with and he does it without being rude or condescending where lots of others would be. I love listening to interviews with him.
This was not about opinions. It was correcting basic facts that people have been misinformed about by the mainstream media. Anyone can go look up the unsustainable birth rate or the low cost of desalination.
There is absolutely no lack of food in the world, it’s about access.
That is up till there comes a problem with fertilizers, or a catastrophe that causes crops not to grow.
China is struggling to get the amount of food they need and in a few years they may enter into a large scale famine.
I think it's more of what places don't have water and why aren't THEY doing something about it.
@@cotystiehl7260 Maybe they shouldn't have killed all the farmers and replaced them with party loyalists.
@Coty Stiehl
Again, access problem. China has nearly 2 billion people and not enough land (presumably) to supply enough food for all 2 billion. Trade would EASILY make up the deficit, if they weren't so stuck up their own ass that other countries tariff and tax the living hell out of anything they trade. China doesn't play well with others, and can't trade to make up the deficit because of it. This is not a space problem, it is an ACCESS problem. Earth has enough resources and room for easily DOUBLE our current population. It's not a resource problem, it's a distribution problem. Aka, ACCESS.
Access and appropriate management. We have shipped literal tons of food to Africa in the past and the multi-ton cargo containera full of rice and other food stuffs have sat and rotted as people starved because local warlords butchered anyone who dared to come and ask for any of it.
Corruption is the problem, not resources
I think dumb people are the problem
& greed. (Although it could be argued the 2 are the same...)
Who do you think will go there that's why he said resources won't be a problem. It won't be regular people going there its the corrupt ones.
I believe we need nuclear power plants to run desalination. But the government doesn't want nuclear.
Yep. I suspect electric cars are a ploy to stop poor people from owning cars though.
This guy is a genius and very calm and collective. KUDOS for him
👏👏👏👏👏👌👌
Farming should be left to the farmers. They know what their doing, so leave them to it. Politicians should keep out of things they don't know anything about, listen to the farmers, they are the ones who feed us. And they've been doing it for hundreds of years, long lines of farming families have all the knowledge needed.
Definitely Agree 💯... Government needs stay out of people lives..
The trouble is politicians listen to the squeakiest wheel, being worried about reelection.
The squeakiest wheel has the least knowledge of reality, because they believe whichever paid clueless celebrity on the yootoobs tells them this week.
Lololol y'all clowns. Farming is done by big corporations. And any small farmer is subsidized by the government - because of big corp farming.
too late
They're doing
What we're running low on is people who are capable of thinking for themselves.
Especially amongst the rich and well to do..
Hahaha exactly like the host
Had this video suggested to me by algorithm as I imagine many of you did. The training is well underway. (Let us think for you.)
Lol like elon thought his way into anything other than his dads emerald mine money
Yes, but also people who DO think, but go along with it out of comfort and $$$$$$
I love when someone who thinks they know what they are talking about is set straight by someone who actually knows what they are talking about!
I find it concerning when people think that everything a genius inventor says is correct and valid and true. What Musk is saying is incredibly over simplified and currently we don't have a world leaders that would provide the collaboration needed to not worry about diminishing water and other resources. The waste we produce is astounding and it's an accepted fact that nearly every creature in the ocean has microplastics in their tissues, for starters. And asking why we don't use desalination now is an excellent question if you have been following the news over the last couple of years about depleting water supplies.
@sunshinelizard1
Water is not diminishing, the water on this planet never increases or decreases.
Maybe thighs don’t function because we are ruled by psychopaths cabala who are spending billions of our money on wars and thay don’t give a fuck about anything but thay welth.🤔
@sunshinelizard1 you are being dubed by politicians and the legacy media arm of the government. Arabian countries have used desalination for years...even the Bahamas get most of their water that way today. Remember if a politician is moving their mouth, they are lying to stay in power.
@@jesusisalive3227 I don't think you're understanding the water shortage issues, but you could google and read up on those if you would like facts. For example, Texas relies on underground aquifers for their water and those are predicted to be depleted at a point in the not too distant future. There is ocean water, fresh water, ice burgs, mountain snow. I'm not sure where you got the notion that the amount of water on the planet never changes, but that is incorrect and misses the point that if California, Nevada and Utah ran out of of water from the sources they are currently using, then where will Californians get the water to water all the crops they grow?
I love Elon's non-alarmist outlook!
Hello 👋 thanks for your support in my dream and career I’m happy to have you as a fan 🚀🌎
We have a disturbing lack of honest intelligence not resources.
Bill’s not used to having guests on his show who push back with facts and have successful businesses to prove it!
Yes. That's because Bill thinks his past liberal foundations are preserved in this new age, until Space Daddy proved him wrong and he's viewing above Bill's billion dollar bubble.
Bill who?
Facts is not Bill's strong suit. Narratives and innuendos ARE, when not confronted with smart and knowledgeable Guests.
what is the scar on his neck,?
Bill's problem is he believes his opinions are facts and refuses to believe actual facts.
This interview proves it.
It’s not a lack of resources, it’s a lack of access. Governments, militias, red tape and bureaucracy. That’s the issue.
Doesn't help that when private citizens step in to do things like build wells in Africa (Mr. Beast) leftists try to cancel them.
I think it would be fair to simply say people. We blame the government for too many things.
The citizens could put the government in check in a couple of days in the US with zero violence if they wanted to.
That’s why the government must ensure things like racism, sexism, classism etc.. remain prevalent.
You see what happens when you get these TV hosts talking out of their asses. They make claims without doing any research on the substance of their claims because they’re listening to the wrong people.
“Yeah bro we’re running out of sand and water, look, a dude with a show wearing glasses and an expensive suit is saying it so it must be true”

We live in a town that has a desalination plant...the biggest in Europe...it's been done for decades
Yes bill, people are indeed starving.
It's not a lack of resources, its a lack of integrity among the leaders of the world.
Or the fact that people are having children, that shouldn't have them, cuz they cant afford to fees them. Africa needs to be blown up
Stop calling them “leaders”.
They’re not leaders, they’re mafia lieutenants.
Is elon not one of them?
@@BatmanBeyondBelief No, Musk doesn’t get a cent from you unless you consent.
Politicians take over 8 trillion of the public’s money every single year, without your consent.
@thehalfblackpillar8131 Elon is a very wealthy business man who has a lot of influence in certain matters, but he is not a political leader.
We don’t have a resource problem, we have a distribution problem.
China, India, parts of South America, and our inner cities have problems that they should consider before pumping out their litters.
And yet...
😂
@Vebjørn precisely
True but you have to address problems of distribution while maintaining or increasing the level of production
@Vebjørn thats called surplus value. Its what the bourgeoisie lives off of
We get it Bill, you’re on the Blue Team.
Not to mention building gardens everywhere and replacing dry drought soil with rich nutrient soil and a sprinkler system can give us more food. Fruits and vegetables.
Mao had the same idea and it failed
@@charlespeterson778 then they weren't doing it correctly
I've once read a saying on a billboard:
The Earth has enough for everyones' need, but not enough for everyones' greed.
True
It's not really a matter of greed, just infrastructure and distribution. Most places that are facing starvation issues haven't undergone industrial revolutions like the West has.
@@SeraphsWitness
Everyone cares for poor people ... untill they are asked to share ( not just once in a while ).
It is greed. People are egoists by nature and that's why there is such a bad distribution.
@@Gaia_Seraphina Again... no. There's a reason poverty is concentrated by certain areas geographically. Because those nations don't have the infrastructure. China was an extremely poor agrarian society prior to their industrial revolution which lifted them out of poverty. It wasn't people suddenly becoming "not greedy".
We have plenty of greedy people in the West, yet the standard of living even for the poor is shockingly high by historical standards.
It's far too simplistic to blame "greed". People have always been greedy. Yet global wealth and quality of life has been steadily rising for 200 years now.
@@SeraphsWitness
Not for everyone. There are enough people who still live below the poverty line.
Happened to my family too for a few years, when I was a preteen.
Made my mom skinny and sick and me too.
We were not starving to death on the streets, so according to your mindset, we were ok?

They are spreading propaganda. The guest is a delusional loser.
Yeah
No, he does no. What he talks about is our theoretical ability to do things from a technological perspective.
It won't work in a fully capitalistic economic sense as the relatively limited desalination happening today already use 0,5 to 1% of the world's electricity production.
Musk might be fine paying for this, but most would not.
Desalination has room for 2 businesses. The same company can run a Sea salt business for food or a road salt business while also making drinkable water.
In Australia we have deserts,but we have plenty of water. We have just had record rainfall and could in fact export water.
Our problem is we have dumb politicians who dont capture the water and just let it run out into the sea. We could easily capture that water and run it through pipelines to areas that need it and with good design the velocity of water could generate hydro electricity.
We need less government and more private entrepreneurship. Politicians couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery because they are too busy stealing our taxes to line their own pockets with unelected people like the WHO, WEF, UN and NATO.
Less government and more private entrepreneurship will only exacerbate the problem. The free market in the US is arguably the less regulated in the world, and the US has some of the worst distribution of resources and wealth in the world.
I never understand how people advocate for more capitalism after seeing just how much capitalism has destroyed virtually every aspect of society. We are in the end-stages of capitalism, and this is NOT due to any counter-revolution, rather capitalism cannibalizing itself. This is what happens under a system with unchecked privatization of businesses at the expense of fair and sensible governance.
We need less corruption in government and more accountability.
@@richardsejour7731 Rubbish. America is under state capture to corporations like Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard. That's not capitalism. Ignoramus.
@@richardsejour7731Crony-Capitalism is the abuse of Capitalism so we need more enforcement of regulations and accountability of corrupt politicians whom abuse capitalism and abuse their offices.
We must drain the swamp, place term limits on political offices, reject globalism and audit politicians annually.
We had a POTUS attempt to implement these things but the swamp rallied against him and the masses bought the government owned propaganda machine's lies.
"... and just let it run into the sea".
Yeah, I think you're missing the point here. It's not so much a matter of feasibility (cán it be done) here, because it can.
If you're suffering from Dunning-Kruger and don't know how things are done, all looks verry easy and straight forward, like you said. But I can promise you, when you KNOW how and why things are done a certain way, you see why things are the way they are. And no, it's not about the unwillingness er sé. There is no dr. Evil in your government.

It is not a lack of resources, it is the distribution of those resources.

I once applied to a worldwide water charity to be a field engineer for Free for them anywhere they would want to send me for a year. They replied they didn't need anyone but if I wanted to send them money they'd be pleased to get it. That was when I first realised that Charities are just huge money spinning businesses.
Charity organizations have ruined developing countries.
Some charities are known to take money and give it to the top people..
Nail on the head
Only a very small percentage of most donations actually go to toward the intended purpose, most is spent on upkeep and maintenance of the organization that collects the donation. As donation collections increase, the salaries of board members magically increases as well to match.
It's the definition of a self licking ice cream cone.
Not all charities are like that. You have to do your homework on them. I donate to very few. But if you are serious about water resources, look in to Heifer International. They supply drinking and irrigation wells through out the world. And it is relatively inexpensive on the whole to fund one. I bet they would welcome you with open arms if you were to offer your services.
People are starving because they won’t plant their own gardens. Seeds are free.
There are more people who are obese than are starving.
There is plenty of food production for everyone.
Part of being smart is to know when to listen.

Demand side economic policy babyyyyy! All we need to do is seek out the most efficient means of production possible but no, everything is about regulation and artificial restrictions to control supply and encourage demand for maximum profits. That is NOT capitalism. Capitalism has free markets with as little interference as necessary to preserve health and safety.
You ask who is doing this? Our own governments. If there is a shortage in anything the market could and should be able to fill that demand - it's just math! The problem? The uncertainty caused by current western economic policy and regulation.
Look at it this way: If we have the space and the materials and the workers to build homes, why is there a shortage of housing? Regulation of course. It can take years to jump through regulatory hurdles, to get approvals, permits, etc. Uncertainty in markets due to money printing, inflation, and regulation hurdles makes the cost of funding any kind of building project a risky venture. You're better off just buying newly created T-bills that have guaranteed returns - just the way they want it.
So the regulations keep slowing down home building, the money printer runs, the prices of homes keeps rising, the T-bills keep being bought, and the cycle continues.
Do you think they had these problems in early America? You would buy a plot of land and start building on it the next day if you wanted to.
Certain people want us to think we have limited resources. We need ppl like Elon telling us the truth.
Yeah even bill trying to keep fear mongering going cause it's sensational
Apparently even Bill Maher thinks that, and he's a smart man, well I used to think he was until I saw this clip.
I think it's true, he's one of the few people who isn't afraid of anyone.
Yeah but you're just blindly believing everything he says. One things for sure, resources are finite. Desalination is energy intensive and the plants need to be enormous at scale.
It's blatantly obvious that resources are limited and anyone who thinks otherwise is equally as deluded as Elon Musk.

The problem is our immature minds
There’s never a shortage of resources unless the shareholders and executives decide for one
Basically, but we do have enough until God says otherwise
Meh… it takes effort to turn those resources into something useable. Businesses tend to make money in transforming and/or transporting those resources. Scarcity is the result of low effort/efficiency in that process. Ask yourself how long it takes to make a shirt from scratch. That’s not free of effort.

It’s all about knowledge. Knowledge is a huge force multiplier. New knowledge allows you to use new things as resources and discard old things that maybe we’re running out of. For example, in energy we’ve gone from wood to coal to oil to nuclear. 100 years ago uranium was just a useless rock to us.
Not too long ago 95% of humans lived in extreme poverty, today only around 5% still do. That number will probably be

Thanks for your love care and support, it's my pleasure talking to you here. Where are you from?....
@@Elonmusk94416I’m sure Elon knows how to complete a proper sentence…..😂😂😂
That comment is Fishier than aries fanny
He’s not interviewing him to ‘let him speak’ he’s trying to catch him out because he thinks Elon’s as stupid as him.
I've always heard that desalination is almost prohibitively expensive. That's the first time I've ever heard anyone say that it's absurdly cheap.
Just look at cruise ships, they desalinate the ocean water to supply the whole ship's usage.
It's not a resource issue, it's a humanity issue.
Amen to THAT
Resources wouldn’t be a problem if people lived like the Amish or African tribes
It's not a humanity issue, its a small number of (lowlife scum) humans who control far more than any single group should.
Resources are limited and so is humanity, everyone wants a middle class life around the world to get there it would take 2.5-3 earths currently. Studies have already shown we are the only animal on earth that thinks a disease won’t kill is like rabbit and cat and other wild life get when there is overpopulation. It’s also expected that population will decline by 2050 when we reach Max human capacity on earth.
@@Ap_twsh is that you china? Sounds like a corporate overlord.
It’s so refreshing to hear what Elon has to say. He is extremely intelligent, plus he exudes common sense.
He’s refreshingly bold and seemingly fearless.
He’s bald, narcissistic but an expert at marketing
Yes
Bill stop talking and let Elon teach you a thing or two…😅
AGREED 👍
I learned that nestle is a big culprit in some areas that we’re struggling for water drying up their water sources and then making bottled water making them have to buy it when those people couldn’t afford it. It’s big companies not natural disaster issues
Lacking resources isn’t the problem….getting them to the people that need them is.
We have plenty of resources it's the people that govern the resources that leads to problems. The governments of the world create all problems we have
Yeah, like Germany shutting down electricity in their country during war in Europe. Because coal, oil and natural gas is so much better... This creates problems as fuck up here in Sweden..
I’m also convinced our plummeting birth rates are partially by design. Our high schools and colleges are literally teaching students that having children is a bad thing, that abortion is the first and foremost priority for every woman, and that a person’s value is determined not by their merit or moral fortitude, nor even their lack of evil, but solely instead by their race and sexuality despite all other factors. They’re taught that bringing more white babies into the world is tantamount to evil, marrying to raise children is “perpetuating white supremacy”, and refusing to participate or encourage gay lifestyles over straight relationships is “genocide”. They’re taught that “saving the planet” is more important than saving the human race, and also that every animal species humans rely on for agriculture (food) should be led to extinction as well; “cows, sheep, chickens, goats, etc.” cause climate change with their “emissions” (farts), so they all need to be put down… meaning, over 90% of people in western countries would be required, under these regulations, so radically change their diet, and agriculture would either have to quadruple (razing forests for farmland, etc), or a great number of people would starve. (Newsflash; they’re already starving.)
The problem with the world isn’t the resources; it’s management of those resources, at every level of every supply chain to varying degrees.
Farmers are often unable to water crops because the state spends three months deciding whether they’re allowed to or not. State regulations are punishing the trucking industry, and executive orders straight from the top are driving fuel prices to prohibitive numbers. Container ships full of meat and produce have been left offshore for weeks or months, and even the containers themselves are often left in port, where everything rots before it’s permitted to be sent on its way. The education system is mass-producing young adults who can’t read, write, add, subtract, or commit to any kind of labor, all by design; they’re taught that learning any of those things, or working a full time job, is “oppression” and “perpetuating white supremacy”, as their teachers and professors are increasingly only interested in creating political activists. Our shelves are empty, in part because our president is essentially selling out to foreign countries; if it doesn’t come on a ship from China, he doesn’t want it in the stores.
So, seems to me that all of this is by design to put pressures on civilization in hopes it’ll “shrink and adapt”, or that those in power are so invested in their own self-interests that they just don’t care if half the population starves. Or maybe both.
Well a lot of them anyway. Even most of them but some of them we do on our own
It’s not government that hordes and exhausts our resources it’s greedy capitalists. Period. Everyone seems to want to blame the government for everything. It was out of control capitalism that created the dust bowl in midwestern US in the beginning of the 20th century for instance.
Look at diamonds. Plentiful. But Da Beers creates artificial demand by spreading propaganda suggesting that diamonds are rare, that lab diamonds are somehow inferior because they didn't come from the earth, and by hoarding supply.
Bill is a great example of a man that listens to mainstream media exclusively.
Great comment

I love how he stomps on the fears and reassures us with statistics that we are okay.
I love how Elon sets him straight so quickly
No one is hungry or thirsty because there isn't enough food or water in the world. The problem is that food, water and other resources are controlled by a few greedy, evil people who would rather watch others die than share.
Bingo!
🎯🎯
Ding ding ding!
Correct. But also, misery is a big seller. I wasted 20+ years of my life working for the biggest charity in the world and realised they do nothing to alleviate suffering. They purposely keep people in desperate situations so the donations keep coming in. 😡 I am disgusted.
@@embalmertrick1420oxfam?
We have lots of resources, the problem is government corruption.
And idiots like Bill.
Found the tinfoil hat wearer.
Don't even know how that fits into the conversation @@bradsanders407
Resources have never been a problem. People who keep the gates to resources are.
Plenty of people without food or water, but plenty of people with too much food and water. The problem isn’t scarcity, it’s distribution.
Many governments pay farmers NOT TO FARM THEIR LAND. That’s a real thing. Resources are fine.
One of the first things the administration of the idiot pretending to be president did!
That occurs right here, paying farmers not to grow certain things to keep the costs on that produce high.
Care to name one?
@bradsanders407 united states. Some of it is trying to prevent a dustbowl 2.0.
@@bradsanders407 England is another example. In most cases when you see solar panels on land, of fields of flowers, those farmers are being payed not to grow food plots there. It's very common in most developed capitalist countries. There is literally just too much product to go around. That is another reason why when C19 hit, all those farmers and ranchers had to dispose of their crops. We literally have the capacity to grow far beyond what our population could potentially handle.
Artificial scarcity has been the easiest method for those in charge to control the people they rule over for centuries.
The world has abundant resources.
"The total amount of food waste produced in the Unites States is estimated to be close to 103 million tons per year." There is abundant food everywhere. We just need to stop wasting it
@@caymenmonday4843the problem isn’t waste, it’s intentional restriction for power. You could have a society were everyone has plenty and thus occasionally wastes, with no poverty problem. Modern poverty is a product of government restrictions on free trade. They simply artificially restrict people to prevent wealth from growing and spreading because it makes for a nice divide and conquer strategy.
Then why is oil or copper or lithium constantly going up in price?
After reading a book on basic economics, price floors and price ceilings really illuminated this false idea that we have "actual" scarce resources.
Yep, fear.
Resources are NOT the problem, energy is a prime example. The problem is Policy!
I'm not sure why people think you can run out of water. Water doesn't go anywhere. Once we use it in our households it goes back into the ground and is refiltered,😅😅😅😅😅and maybe goes into a stream and goes out to the ocean and then it's absorbed back up into the atmosphere because of evaporation and then it falls back to Earth as rain. It's not like you can use up water.😅😅😅
Maher is like watching a first year college student trying to talk to his professor about a book he only read the back cover of.

@@devshashOG the problem is not the lack, but the location and quality at certain points in time and space.
Following your logic, no one ever died of dehydration then.

😮😮we have problems with politicians and distributions.
Bill needs to worry about his information gathering resources more than anything
But they were running out of sand-wiches backstage - for real this time! The BLTs are basically extinct man!

I hear some UA-camrs giving out about him because he doesn't do research. He soiuted some ignorant shiit here alright
Right? What the hell is he taking about? Run out of water? 🤣🤦🏻♂️
The problem is not a lack of resources.
Shortages are created by regulations that push an agenda.
The real problem is extremely poor management of the resources that we do have.
Its not the lack of resources its how they are distributed
100%agree. Elon is correct. Our resources are not the problem. The ones restricting them are.
We've displaced so much nature that 96% of earth's mammalian biomass now consists of humans and their livestock.
25% of the earth's ice-free land is used for pasture.
We have a land shortage because of the selfish people who refuse to stop eating beef.
Elon doesn't know as much about resources as he claims.
It's not like there's an obese guy sitting on a giant pile of burgers laughing because people are starving.
It's more like the people who can create a lot of things or harvest a lot of things would rather NOT just work endlessly to give things away for free.
In the west which is a land of abundance, most people who create all the things that make life good (water, minerals from the ground, food, housing) work insanely hard.
They only do it so much because they get paid.
No, they're not gonna be fine, Elon doesn't have the faintest idea what he's talking about.
@@AchillesThePeacemakerAre you kidding me? He’s 100% correct in what he just said. I’m pretty sure it’s you that doesn’t have the faintest idea.
@@hosmerhomeboyPeople don’t not create water, minerals in the ground, or food. We only collect, gather.
The key word here is resource MANAGEMENT!
Thats the entire issue.
Or "Market monopolies, starving is an acceptable side affect of profit."
Distribution
How about we take back the resources stolen from us by the global elite and eliminate them
The problem is PROFITS OVER PEOPLE. Plain and simple.
Wow Marky mark! You cracked the case. You’re so smart!
Bet you can’t fix the problem tho.
Why doesn’t Bill ask his friend Gavin Newsom why they aren’t desalinating ocean water?
The problem is the supply chain.
Love how dead-shot serious Elon is with his points whilst maintaining being polite and respectful
Desalination isn’t sustainable, it’s a process that’s been known for a long time, it’s been tested and is wildly inefficient.
Desalination plants are costly to operate, require enormous amounts of energy and are difficult to manage in an environmentally-friendly way, according to water policy experts.
Do a quick google search and you’ll see how big of a lie Elon is selling.
But he is always wrong. Being correct would be preferable.

@@EX-JW-SJD yeah, sure man. ..And then you wake up back to reality ...
@@dannyharrisonn_ Dude, he isn't smart. He is rich with horrible ideas.
I have a rich cousin in cali who owns many acres of almond trees... He said he's paid by the state to not sell the almonds as to keep the prices high in stores...that's the resource problem California has enough food to feed the whole earth for two months alone..our problem again is the gov.
😡😡😡😡
Can he choose not to take the government money and help get prices down to more affordable levels?
Honestly this was about 5 years ago he told me all this.. but I'm not sure I do know he was getting paid more by the government than if he were to pay for labor and logistics to pick and sell them...I'm sure if he really wanted to he could sell them but his business is in insurance not so much farming...
They also pay corn and grain farmers to intentionally grow and destroy a certain percentage of their healthy crops every harvest!
These systems and governments are pure unfiltered Evil!
There is even parts of America and Europe where they are trying to introduce laws where you can grow fruit, vegetables and herbs within your own garden, but you will not allowed to harvest or consume any of what you have grown!
It's moronic!
Exactly correct and that's been happening for decades. Since the 70s when the powerful called in loans on farms and thousands of family farms went on the auction block, and large conglomerates took over food production. It continues with things like, during the obummer administration as the government deemed the smelt fish endangered and turned off water to farmers in California and other things to destroy American farmers
*The ONLY reasons some people do Not have resources is ALWAYS due to Govt, Ethnic and/or Religious inference and division.*
That's not lack or resources, it's that the resources have been monetized so there is incentive to with hold.
The problem is the people in charge. I agree with him.
