    Yup, it’s a subsidy that I think generally makes sense, except I don’t think the plan was for everyone to pour so much resources into corn.

    Probably around the point we got to: “can we use mashed up corn as fuel and plastic” is when we should’ve tried incentivizing a greater diversity of crops 😅

      I’ve heard the fuel and plastic thing is again a subsidized endpoint for corn to keep the conveyor belt flowing.
