'Poverty the Problem, Not Exports'
"[F]orcing farmers to supply the domestic market [for which some economic illiterates are calling] would be an act of economic sabotage. "That the poor can’t afford to buy the high nutrient foods we produce, isn’t because we export them, it’s because they’re poor. "Handicapping exports would not solve that and would make the whole country poorer in the process." ~ Ele Ludemann, from her post 'Poverty the Problem, Not Exports'
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
