Capitalism is the most efficient way to distribute resources

in another few weeks yes. the potato farmer near me says he waits to plant till after the 10th because frost. not that the commies would know anything about any of that. they get their potatoes from french fries.

this doesn't make sense.
ok the restaurants are closed, but people are still eating, aren't they? so why is there no demand for food?

>Goods are seen as products, not resources.

Goods *are* products. There is no such thing as a "resource", in the way that you appear to be using the term.

And in fact, the linked headline is an example of efficiency. It is currently not possible to transport those potatoes to willing purchasers. To continue to invest labor, time, fuel and rolling stock, transport space, etc. into those potatoes would be wasteful. The farmers are making the rational and correct judgment that the way they will *lose the least money* is by dumping the potatoes.

>NUH UH IT'S MORE EFFICIENT FOR PEOPLE TO PRODUCE GOODS AT A LOSS!!!!

Spoken like someone who has never produced anything. Ever.

back in the day, before they had refrigerators, they would dig a hole in the ground put a bed of straw in it, put the potatoes in, cover it in more straw and then bury it. the potatoes don't grow but also don't rot.

How would these potatoes be better used in another system?

What's stopping anyone from doing that right now?

>ok the restaurants are closed, but people are still eating, aren't they? so why is there no demand for food?

Potato farmers sell a lot of their product into the restaurant supply chain. People eat more potatoes if they eat out than if they eat at home. The french fry casts a long shadow.
