> blame the politicians that built the system to work this way. Politicians are only doing what the potato cartel is telling them to, because if they weren't they'd be replaced by big-potato-friendly politicians. You can't blame a single actor. What's to blame is the system itself. As long as what's driving it is capital, whomever and whatever makes it grow most will be rewarded, under the risk of being replaced. There's only one metric that counts in this game, and it's no surprise that everything arranges around its optimization. World is controlled by big potato.
