Repeat after me

Nationalize

The

Food

Chain

Farmers don’t make enough to pay employees, groceries make too much for it to make sense, fuck that shit, crown corporation to run the whole thing.

Another idea:

Make the entire food sector non-profit.

Unfortunately that doesnt do anything. Non-profits are just as bad as for-profits under the system we have. Nationalization or bust. Obviously nationalization doesn’t mean the federal government is in charge that still can mean that it’s locally operated and run.
