It's true, I went to an American restaurant a couple months back and I could afford an ice tea to go with it this time.

These new farmers will start to consume tractors, roads, houses, pens, tvs, computers, books, etc, giving back their money to global market.

It will be a win win situation for all.

But it's gonna hurt getting there.

Yes, most probably the market will balance for while, my hope is, soon everybody will realise that enrich farmers on a global scale is good for all.

It is one of the most fair democratic global industry, no cartel would dominate it, imo.

Of course we should enforce open market so a person from one country to have the rights to open and run companies, farmers and related, in other countries.

Also, countries should drop excessive protection.

The price of dollar going down is good in many aspects.

USA would sell more and buy less which will resolve the actual foreign trade balance.
