I'm not dismissing them. I'm telling you that international food prices do not matter. These farmers do not sell their food at international prices. That's something that's allowed in very few third world countries. I'm not making a suggestion, I'm informing you of the reality. If my family growing up had to pay international food prices I'd be dead or severely stunted. It's not far away and out of sight, I come from a third world country myself. If it weren't for these laws 99% of the food would be exported and people would starve. It's definitely an issue for regions that cannot grow their own food, yes. There are not enough of those for 130 million people to starve. And while yes, there are multiple ongoing famines, none of them are caused by lockdowns. Instead, their root cause is either drought, crop failure or predominantly war. It's important we find the right causes. Food growth has not slowed. The growth in food growth has slowed. Food production is still increasing every year. I don't mean to say that hunger is not an issue. It is. It's just that lockdowns have not been a significant issue in this respect. In the places where hunger is a deadly issue, international food prices simply do not matter.
