Wheat board monopoly to end

When the CWB is eliminated will the pool system end or does it put the pool in the hands of foreign nationals like OPEC who can and will gouge you?
As a pool system it is identical but gouging was kept in check by gov. If you want a private pool system like OPEC that will gouge the end user then by jove you've got one.
You already admitted the CWB was just like OPEC.
Which artificially manipulates prices. Not good for the end user.
And your point is what now?
You the end user who has been bitching about a privatized pool system like oil and OPEC price gouging.
This is food we are talking about here bub. You can choose not to drive but you can't choose to not eat.

Have we reached that point of the conversation where you make stuff I didn't say already?
FIFY, and actually, the reverse is more likely.
No complaints about artificial inflation and gouging. You must enjoy it if you say you aren't complaining?

Captain knew he was ****ed when private oil distribution pools were brought into play. What's your problem?

Yep you got me, my apologies.
Remember?
Obviously the same as yours, you agreed with me.
Remember?
You also agreed that the CWB is just like OPEC. With all its faults and ability to manipulate prices.
Yeah a pool system. A private one compared to a public one. How is the private one treating you these days?
What does that have to do with the fact that you agree that OPEC and the CWB are the same?
Sharing the same negative traits.
Yeah both are pools. One public to protect producers and consumers the other private and unregulated that manipulates and gouges because it can. End of the CWB isn't going to be the end of pooled sales just the protection we both enjoy.
The CWB wasn't created to protect producers and consumers. It was created to control grain prices.
It is now what it always has been, a way to make money by cornering a market. Like all marketing boards.
Where the hell did you come up with that conspiracy theory? So why would the Feds uncorner the market and lose out on what they created?
It won't be long before this planet has one farmer one freight carrier one baker and one banker all living peacefully under one thumb. Globalization sucks blood.
What conspiracy theory? Those are the facts. Look up the history of the CWB and marketing boards. Common theme, control prices.
Producers don't usually pour milk into streams, or plow under part of their crops, because they don't get fined for over producing.
Kind of like turning off the taps, when you want to raise oil prices.
But hey, you see a threat to your bottom line, I would imagine you would want to defend your meal ticket.
Who knew you and big corp had so much in common.
Does it matter? Either way, the same end result.
Price control.
A fact you just don't want to openly admit...
Oops, to late...
