It’s hypocritical for the liberal media to call out Trump for throwing away perfectly good food. Grocery stores are notorious for doing this too!

Like half the milk produced in California is bought by the state and dumped because if it were to hit the market, milk would be like pennies per ounce, and the Farmers would basically go bankrupt.
This shit makes me so mad.
If a socialist state did that we'd never hear the end of it.
Yet another example to add to the "why profit is a shitty motivator" pile. It reenforces the worst parts of the human psyche. We teach kids to share, be kind, and be cooperative but the capitalist society rewards greed, anger, and a complete lack of empathy.
Corporate farms profit from subsidies and they waste milk. These greedy people not only won't distribute outside the US, they also won't distribute inside.
