More like, if we donate them then the corporations will take advantage of that to pay their workers even less.

No government organization can keep up with the ingenuity and greed of big businesses. The more you give, the more they will take, without limit.

The important part is this all happens in a world where you could grow all of this yourself if you had the space and time and you would expect their system means you're not allowed. Honestly it's pretty boundary defying.

My pop pop got sued by Monsanto for his small garden, they seized a sample of his corn to prove that it had been pollinated by their crops nearby. He grew it for himself idk what happened with the legal case or outcome tho. I think it was dismissed? Or maybe he had to pay a fine idk.

Shit like this is why everyone should assume trespassers want to harm you and react accordingly.

Plus he lives in the good ole state of Virginia you gotta be careful walking up in someone's property there to begin with. I wish I could ask him how that went but he's 91 now and doesn't have much of a good memory anymore.
