The forgotten SCOTUS ruling this week

Supreme Court says government seizure of raisins is unconstitutional

Will free market capitalism be a disaster when it comes to food production? Farmers are already starting to pull out their crops in favor of more profitable ones such as almonds. When the market glut of said crops causes the prices to decline dramatically, these small farmers will go bankrupt and a taxpayer bailout will be pushed through Congress to "save" the farmers.

Um.....nothing wrong with this ruling. Government can't and shouldn't be able to seize your crops/property and only pay you a fraction of what it is actually worth.

Also CA farmers long ago started growing more crops like almonds mainly because of heavy water subsidies that were offered by CA's government to farmers and the huge demand for almonds from nations like China. In fact about 80% of world's almond crop derives from California farms.

There was an old thread about the case that was bumped after the ruling.

PLEASE. Although unfortunately they already have and said it was fine. A few states have recently banned it. It is a travesty to anybody who's not a jack booted thug.

This. "oh, we THINK you're carrying that cash for no good reason. So, it's ours". Makes me puke.

How much is it an actual issue and how much is it an urban legend ?
