Where would you rather money go...to the hard working farmers of this country or the multi-billion dollar oil companies who already have us "over a barrel" so to speak...
This comment implies
(wrongly
) that oil industry jobs aren't also filled by hard-working Americans. Roughnecks are well paid in the six-figure class, but work #*^@ hard to earn it. And the majority of farm production is from farms with more than $1M in sales annually, with the move to large and very large farms accelerating quickly. The better businesses out-compete the less adept; that's the way of things, it's only nostalgia that holds up 30-cow-80-acre farms as some sort of ideal.
Let's say I put about 300 gallons through my boat each year. 91 octane "pure" gas costs less than $0.50/gallon more than e10 gas. This circular discussion
(with some full-on SHOUTED posts
) is simply not worth $150 per year.
