There was a funny post on reddit about a family of farmers calculating their worth, trying to justify their hissy fit, turns out they make more than most of us and have significant wealth in property value and ability to have substantial passive income if they didnt wanted to be farmers anymore.

Most of us also don’t need to pay repairs for 700.000€ machines.

Thats already included in the calculation. After paying employees, taxes, repairs, and other costs, they still have alot more than most of us will ever make.

Besides, they already get money from the government when they had a bad year.
Private profits, public losses.

But then, we should help them even more to stay farmers, or they will not to choose to do so and cripling the local environment => less food produced => more imports => more cost of living and more polution.

Huh, If i do my maths again.

No farmers, no local production. So you have to pay for importing ( yes it cost something ) The normal “Bread” costs now instead of 1€, 1€ + the import costs. Because WHO else would pay for it.

1+1+1=3 Thats how it works
