Why does the NL want to kick down at the farmers so badly? Don't they know where real food comes from?

Is the only way to buy "real food", to buy it in chunks of 3000+ EUR paper money?

That sounds pretty expensive and a lot of "real food" for the average person.

And if it is a business transaction sounds like a suspicious business transaction.

Wow megabrain. A farmer could easily sell a truck of produce for well more than 3k

Only way to reduce the population. Restrict the food supply

People who can independently produce food have a form of real power that is very hard to resist.

The measures used to keep various peasant and serf classes under control were so extreme in history because if they became able to exercise that power the social order was overturned.

Why do you assume this proposal is targeting farmers specifically?

How does this affect farmers specifically? In fact, it does not.
