Schadenfreude thread about holidays

Why do windmill farms, EV’s or Solar panels need subsidies? If they are so great my tax dollars are not necessary.

[WiltonRanch]

Are they still producing and eating beef and dairy in Europe too?

Stick to watching the Crows crop!

Think Crop comes from Ireland so I think he probably has more intimate knowledge of the situation in Europe than you.

U guys realize who/what you're trying to discuss economics with right?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Are you suggesting that I shouldn't hold my breath waiting for an intellectual economic response to my questions from the poster whose entire grasp of economics consists of justifying solar panels because they cost about the same as a new pickup truck?

I think it's amusing to occasionally treat him like an adult and ask serious questions. The childish responses, or complete lack of responses reveals all we need to know.

[blackpowder]

I've learned all there was about him years ago. It's when he's reasonable, that's when he's most revealing.

So are you guys and Pierre Poilivere suggesting farmers not get any more subsidies and that we end supply management?

I can't wait to hear that from PP. There will be a lot of whining with a plan like that.

Smaller farms with low income can't compete with large more profitable farms that have access to more capital because of economies of scale.

If you want stronger rural communities and more farmers, don't subsidize larger farms that don't need it. That only increases the disparity.

so shud small business also be subsidized because they cant compete with their bigger competitor down the street ?

Now look who's pining for the horse and buggy.

[chuckChuck]

So you guys want all the subsidies to farmers stopped?

Or do you think taxpayers should be supporting Monette Farms?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

So you guys want all the subsidies to farmers stopped?

Yes.
End supply management too.
And end all subsidies to all other businesses.
Just level the playing field.

[blackpowder]

U guys are playing a game of silly buggers in black and white while the world is shades of grey.

Kind of hypocritical to be against government subsidizing other industries which contribute as much or more to the economy than ag, and yet think small to medium sized farms should be subsidized. Or do you just hate big business of any kind and think it should be nationalized? Good commie utopia at the core of every one of your arguments.
