I would expect the US priority would be giving $33 billion to farmers to aid crop production, and also using those fancy emergency powers to prioritize growth and distribution of grains and feed stock instead of ginseng and canola?
Just food for thought...
I am not talking about a governmental structure, but democracy in that the people are able to replace leadership. If governmental policies cause famine, those starving people will decide on different policies.
Of course, if the famine is due to external forces, the best they can do is share food in a way that minimizes the damage.
Out of curiosity, what's the deal with putting democracy in parentheses like that?
