Spoken Like a True Academic

You've visited this post for one reason only:
To bad-mouth the farmers who get a subsidy.
You've already admitted an abhorrence to their lifestyle elsewhere here, complaining about manure.
If you had "better things to do" you'd have let this one go.
But you obfuscate the issue in the OP turning it into a side-show on farm subsidies.
Did the farm-boys you grew up with kick your sorry butt in school as a child?
You "blow your horn" as a friggin' genius, a member(?) of mensa, yet you aren't honest enough to admit if you've ever collected unemployment, although you've asked for help here at the DP when you were "laid off".
(I'd imagine you'd have collected Unemployment insurance then).
Nor are you smart enough to make the distinction between the "minority" i.e. "family farms" versus the "Majority" which are "Factory Farms".
When the article states that 2% of the population is family farm, does that qualify ( in your brilliant mind) as a minority?
And finally: Did you comprehend the "concept" of unemployment insurance being "subsidized" by the government?
