Nations will never stop agricultural subsidies due to national food security and rural district votes. It’s not just price supports and crop insurance but dams to deliver water and electricity.

Tap water is drinkable and plumbed into your home. That’s why it costs more than canal water that’s neither.

Almonds are not needed for national food security.
Neither is beef or cotton. Hence I alluded to rural district votes.
