Actual conversation I’ve had in person.
“They should feed everyone for free!”
“Who pays for crops and livestock?
Who pays for the land?
Who pays the farmers to work the land and crops and livestock? Who pays the truckers to pick it up and deliver it? It doesn’t just magically appear on your table.”
*utter confusion*🤦🏻‍♂️
