NRO’s The Cornerhas a very interesting map of those living in Manhattan, NY that are getting farm subsidies. Do note the 5 large dots; they’re people getting more than $250,000 per year in farm subsidies.
Under the House Dhimm farm bill, they’re likely to continue to receive those grants; those making up to $1,000,000 per year are eligible, with loopholes allowing even more-wealthy “farmers” to get in on the trough.
I’ve been in NYC many times, I’d like to think I know the city better than most Midwesterners.
I do know there’s a small zoo with a “working dairy farm” in Central Park. I notice none of those red dots in the map are in Central Park. Go figure.
Nice catch, by the way.
