Oddbean new post about login | logout What are these farmers protesting for? I was cheering the Dutch but I became more cynical after learning what the French were protesting. I want a future with farms not cricket flour, but I also want less poison coming out of the farms.
There is a summit in Belgium where Agricultural representatives from all over the EU will meet to discuss stuff. The farmers are protesting against high taxes, low income, insane environmental requirements/laws and cheap imports from other countries outside the EU (I believe).
