Then again, they also declined to reject Obamacare, so...
They're just a bunch of over-educated twits who are totally full of themselves.
you don't understand it? that implies you don't understand:
all these interests balanced against those of the schlub on the sofa watching american idol, eating cheetos and scratching his ass? yeah, the supremes are all about looking after you on this one buddy.
Why do you care? You live in Canada.
Unlike any of the twits who post here.
Are you a twit?
That's way too cynical even from you, Jim. ;-)

I, at least, am aware of my ignorance, unlke them.
Agribusiness lobby will not get righer. Corn growers and processors probably will but, the season here (ND) was so late it maybe that all the folks with corn may not get a good crop--we put in beans.

when i say "agribusiness", i mean the traders. those guys own the market, and they make big bucks whatever way the market goes. and if they can sell high priced corn from a poor crop into the ethanol industry, which they also substantially own, with taxpayer subsidy, they get even richer.
bottom line, burning food is either an act of war where you want to starve your enemy, or it's a symptom of complete retardation. when grain reserves are at their lowest since ww2, and when it's done by government mandate, and when their actions are egged on by traders, most of whom are really smart people, you really have to wonder whether some kind of war isn't the actual objective. the british ruthlessly exploited the irish potato famine for example.
Increased alcohol use by SCOTUS justices would explain it nicely.

More likely increased Koch
All the corn in this area is contracted so there is no middle man
I should have added that there has never been a shortage of corn. In a good year there will be 2 billion bu. at the end of the year
contracted to whom?
yes, production has increased, but with the burning of food, so has consumption. last i read in the financial press, consumption has outstripped even increased production and grain reserves [the buffer between consumption and production which is supposed to see us through bad crop years] are at post-ww2 lows. low reserves increase price volatility [good for traders], but it's absolute freakin' insanity strategically.
To the middle men, of course.
My guess would be Alzheimer or senility. This idea of lifetime appointment virtually guarantees that some of them are serving in diminished mental capacity, with their staff making up the deficit. There should be a manadatory retirement age for government employees, just like for private business leaders.
we contract with the ethanol producer--that would be the normal rout. I works that way for most of the crops grown up here. So oilseed sunflower is contracted with Red River Commodities. Confectionery sunflowers the contract is with the company that markets the final product.
WrongO generally the contract is with the company that markets the final product.
That is a totally great idea mandatory retirement at 72
