Downvoting without engaging in a discussion kind of directly violates both the spirit and rules around here.
I've posted pretty solid evidence that dregulation, did not, in fact improve the agricultural situation for New Zealand. It absolutely made a subset of corporations and mega-farmers extremely rich at the expense of the natural resources the rest of the country shares. Would LOVE to hear the arguments about how that's a good thing for the people of New Zealand or our planet as a whole.
But then again, that would require thoughtful discourse...
Because it goes against the urban popular group think. "Blue States subsidizing Red States" "NZ did it, so US can to"
Provide any real or partial claims this isn't the whole story and it's difficult to change your mind on something that is fundamental to your beliefs. So downvote and move to the next post that validates your beliefs. Happens to everyone including me.
