  2. Shows the political system of the US is not a political system that can plan or manage the whole economy to ensure the separate producers do not fall apart. If the buyer disappears from the supply chain, the farmer and growers are out of business, the food rots or is destroyed in order to raise the price of the product. An act of selfishness as an attempt to recover one’s own losses becomes the motive of growers. Not by intent are they selfish. It is a market system that forces people to become selfish and learn the ways of selfishness as a part of necessary survival. Farmers and growers act out of self-preservation but it comes at the expense of the buyers. This would be because a potato is a commodity and produced as a thing for its own nutritional usefulness to human beings only as an exchange-value. The sociological consequences is a collapse of the food chain and major social crisis entailing increased hunger, disease, poverty and social anarchy. The lesson perpetually ignored and unheeded by the political system here is that food should not be a thing you can buy and sell. Prices are higher for the buyer-consumer and the seller-producers have fewer buyers. This would not be such a disaster if the science of agriculture were not so advanced but they are in the US. Scientists and farm machine producers, must find a society where their skills and products can be sold and are put to use. The political system is a republic not equipped to deal with an economic structure and the social consequences of too much food and too many people hungry that the industries in the food chain lose more jobs than it can generate. Serious problem that can lead to the end of the US as we know it. CBC Canada, the Canadian equivalent of America’s ABC or CBS news, does an exposé of this crisis that people (Americans) should look up here on Youtube to learn more about who the actors in this food chain are and what they are doing that worsens the situation.
