@conncarroll I'll revise for you: We grew food for a few decades without ag subsidies (but did have Jim Crow)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@conncarroll if you think a free market exists when millions of laborers are enslaved, that's insane. Slavery was a broad ag subsidy1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
