Every job involves having other people pay for your living costs.

My job doesn't involve making a profit off of arguably the most important thing a human needs for survival... Just saying.

So you have a problem with farmers?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Why would I have a problem with farmers? Farmers actually work to produce something, so it's not really a valid comparison. Landlords create nothing and provide nothing of value to society.

You know, farming is not defined by, "profiting from the things you grow." Co-ops exist. But yes, in the current hyper-capitalist environment, most farmers are probably going to need to sell some shit to survive.

But there's a massive difference between farmers in Iowa raking in tons of cash (including a shit ton of government subsidies) for providing more corn than we even need, and self-sustaining farms and/or communities that are not predatory.

For example, the Amish are farmers. They seem to do just fine without price gouging.
