The Direct Translation Has Been Lost in Time

The potato bug hits again, and it hits real hard this time. This year, so little gets harvested at all, that there's just not seed potatoes for a lot of peopleright. People are very desperate. The government holds against the idea of stopping the export of food. And their justification is that the grain that these people who are starving grew, is more expensive than they can afford. So if it's kept in country, the government will have to subsidize its purchase.
