    You have it the wrong way around. Poorer countries cannot compete with massively subsidized, industrial-scale food production. It’s a known problem that African countries get their markets flooded with cheap European produce, since European farmers are incentivized to produce as much as possible. The surplus is exported.

    I actually had a different documentary in mind, but this source is what I have at hand right now. It’s German but the auto-translated English subtitles are accurate.

    To assign blame, you ask the question “Who could have prevented this?” If a bartender knows that a person has had too much to drink and that they are going to drive, they are aware of the danger that person poses and are therefore required to prevent that danger.
