Greed, Sin, Crime; Why America Sucks

Watch the VIDEO HERE

Farmer in Florida are destroying their Strawberry crops rather than sell them cheaper.  It seems the method used to protect the berries from freeze (watering them) this winter, had unwanted consequences. All the berries are coming ripe NOW at the same time. Thus Strawberry prices have plummeted from about $1 a pound to just 25 cents for the farmers.  So what to do? Well this is America, land of greed, so we destroy half the crops, create a shortage later on and prices for what is left will go up. Ah simple capitalism, dont ya love it.
At a time when the economy is still reeling, wouldn't it have been nice for consumers to get a break on something as simple as this.
Disagree with my thinking? fine, then get this. another "side effect" of the water the farmers used.  They used SO much water, that it caused wells to go dry and sink holes to open up, danaging houses and causing others to be condemned. Who do you think will end up paying for that?
Yes, there was at least one farmer who is allowing anyone and everyone to pick berries at his place FREE and he is to be commended. He is my role model of the day, week and maybe year, we'll see...

Another fine example of one more thing that's wrong in this country! What a joke! Some people starve the world over and our soup kitchens are filled to the max, but hey! We've got so much SURPLUS in the good ole USA that we make sure nobody gets it, 'cause hey, we don't get paid to give food away!!! "Let them eat cake!" Obscene world we live in.
