I love your voice, even though sometimes because of the pitch, how fast you speak and how poor my hearing is there are some videos I only understand about half of what you say and I’m still entertained. But you said funnily enough and that automatically gets a thumbs down on this video. Please do better in the future!

0:20 Close, but it was actually domesticated in Mexico, which is in North America, not South America.

As an Iowan, I can confirm that corn has a tendency to be capitalistic and have to be cleared of any capitalist kernels.

Corn is also too robust and powerful to GMO into planned sterility.

Makes me think about that planet Rick and Morty found where everything was on a cob. Strawberries on a cob, birds on a cob, mountains on a cob. Corn is truly superior

Your outro music has been driving me nuts every time I hear it bc it sounded so familiar but I just couldn’t put my finger on where I’d heard something like it before…
And then it clicked… it reminds me of Gir from Invader Zim!
I know it’s not an exact match (obviously bc copyright) but it’s close enough that now I’m singing “Doom doom doom!” at the end of every video… which I guess is also really fitting for many of your vid topics… like this corn & capitalism one😅😅

In Mexico (origin of the corn) we even eat fungal infected corn! Called Huitlacoche
Corn is the basic gain and cereal for Mexico and Central America

the primary purpose of many corn/soy/commodity farrms is to be a tax shelter , the subsidies that keep the grain price in the green is just gravy on top

tbh soy beans are there because we grow corn and have to replenish the nitrogen quickly somehow and that's soy
so you have corn to thank for soy

You are so talented at what you do! I remember that not to long ago, in school, we had to read about this exact topic, so in summary; can you be my teacher? Pretty please.

Lots of shitting on capitalism without covering how corn subsidies makes it artificially cheap to produce it and since the resulting corn is so cheap it becomes a primary input whenever possible. Had there been no agricultural subsidies however farmers would diversify far more in what they grow.

Fun fact: many settlers in pioneer days died because their diet consisted of almost nothing but corn, which is toxic if you eat too much of it because of a chemical that builds up.
This is definitely not an allegory or anything.

Doesn't seem complete without mentioning Monsanto and farmers not being able to replant their corn harvest next year without paying the fee.
