It's time to end the sugar subsidies which have been a source of problems going back to the 70s. The working conditions are deplorable and I believe there were several 13th Amendment anti-slavery lawsuits in the 1970s which would remedy the situation for a year or 2 then back to business as usual. The sugar industry is a major factor in the pollution of the Everglades wherein little progress has been made in clean up despite litigation which has been ongoing for more than a decade. Then there is the issue of cheap sugar which is making our people fatter and diabetic. I say eliminate the subsidies and buy Cuba's sugar at market rates. We might solve some political chicanery as well. An issue for another subverse, though, not pizzagate.
