Reclaiming food sovereignty: an alternative approach to trade and agriculture

"In recent months, European countries have been swept by massive farmers’ protests. Though often a reaction to specific national policies (proposals to scrap tax breaks for agricultural diesel, proposed reductions in nitrogen emissions, etc), the common thread uniting the protests is the farmers’ opposition to the growing economic and bureaucratic burdens associated with the European Union’s climate and environmental agenda — first and foremost, the European Green Deal. Farmers have good reasons to oppose these policies, which risk decimating small and mid-sized farms while achieving little, if anything, in terms of climate and/or environmental benefits."

The current era of age polarization is unusual

"This is one reason I think leading Democrats are mistaken to be so passive about Donald Trump’s felony conviction. It’s an opportunity to re-acquaint the electorate with a vast litany of scummy behavior that was maybe overdone in the 2016 cycle, but is still worth introducing to people who’ve never heard it.

But a broader point I want to make here is that while the 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 cycles all featured a pronounced age gradient in voter behavior, this is not a law of nature."
