At least they're trying to feed people with the unsold produce..

I thought most people in Idaho voted for this.

Even from a pure profit motive, this is a solvable problem. Just find another use for it it’s a simple starch. Can’t it be processed into something else like packing material, paper-like products, plastics, bio fuels, etc? Even if you can’t use it as food, it can be turned into other things.

But it won’t.

Because this regime is not only evil, but fucking dumb.

i mean, 1% are living in utopian socialism already. technically speaking.

If they weren't suffering hardship would they still?

They are trying to unload their misfortune. The help is, in their eyes, an unwanted byproduct.

They're fine for cows, but they should be crushed first to prevent choking and help digestion. Also it's not good for their diet to be all potatoes. They get a lot of nutrients out of them though, even raw; their stomachs do the work that cooking them would in breaking down the starches and proteins, they even get additional nutrients from their digestive bacteria, that's why bulls can get buff eating veggies.

Or you could, you know, cook them?

They can if they're green or spoiled.

Not necessarily. There are a good number of progressives in the area (it isn't 100% MAGA...more like 75%), and this was posted in a very progressive leaning FB group.
