I feel kind of bad that the farmers are suffering. However most of them probably voted for this. Also, corn and soybeans are a blight on society and blight on soil. Grow some food to feed actual people, instead of livestock feed, and soybean oil (which is a blight on our health).
That’s all true, but the most likely outcome here is that it’ll be the small independent farmers that go under, and big corps will scoop up their assets further increasing capital concentration at the top.
Also, while the whole corn industry does need to go away, this isn’t going to be a controlled unwinding of it and will lead to a huge economic shock in the US.
