MessageIt leads to overproduction of whatever's subsidised, and underproduction of everything else. In between is the deadweight loss which is due to inequality in the market. By having subsidies, we distort the market away from its optimal production.

ToDebating the Agricultural Sustainability Act
MessageSo crops which are detrimental to the enviroment or to the continued ecological safety of the state will be underproduced.. that actually sounds fine by me. So what's your problem with that?

MessageBecause overall we'll have a shortage of food. Do you like eating? We here at the JUP are quite fond of eating, and would not enjoy a food shortage caused by myopic agricultural subsidies.

    Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current.
