Are nations representative of a single law? Regardless, China sure looks to have done better than us.
Unlikely that Covid came from the wet market.
I’m confident they are underestimating as well but still quite likely they did better than us.
The experts are suggesting it escaped from a lab. At least that’s what I heard on NPR.

No they are not for ethanol fuel.
They started with Nixon in the 1970s.
We are the first society in history where our poor are fatter and less healthy than our rich…because the government subsidized corn so the big agribusinesses could prosper selling us cheap junk and calling it food.

Your contempt for the free will of our fellow citizens is noted.
There is more to the issue than corn sugar.
The idea of agribusiness getting rich off of poor obese people is creative.
Ethanol is the bigger market.

Take a look at what percentage of corn crop goes to ethanol and high fructose corn syrup.
Report back what you find…

Dude…you are truly making spouting unreality an art form. Do you work at it, or does it come naturally?
And you really really need to learn about Monsanto and ConAgra and how they massively benefited off subsidies for decades…long before ethanol fuel was a thing.
They make their money controlling our food supply.

50% of the corn grown is for food…only 20% for ethanol.
Didn’t take me but a minute to find that.

Did you look at the percentage of corn that is used for ethanol?
It is 40 percent.
Now how much for corn syrup? 3.8 percent.
Keep in mind this was initiated with corn subsidies.

The Wuhan lab, most likely. Anyone buying that coincidence, well…
It isn’t a coincidence that multiple ex-Monsanto people have held positions in the FDA and the USDA either. It’s almost like Monsanto is in bed with the Federal Government or something. Guess that explains why the US is one of the few countries left in the world GMOs haven’t been banned in.

Nothing wrong with GMO, according to science, you aren’t a science denier are you?
Nothing wrong with them?
That’s not what scientists are saying, at all.

Ethanol subsidies are a “recent” occurrence (and ethanol is actually not very profitable either for farmers or suppliers anyway…the market is actually oversupplied even with 10% ethanol in almost all gasoline today).
We’ve been subsidizing farmers to grow corn since the Nixon era, and it was for the purposes of helping agribusinesses make money selling cheap “food” inputs.
It’s really easy to see this.
But I know it once again spoils The Narrative of the “individual” making a “totally free choice”…so that one person can feel superior to another.
