I'm even more concerned about the generation of Americans growing up with Social Media, smartphones, and MAGA/Trump as "normal". My parents' generation still had parents and grandparents with farms. So many of them had farms! Now, there's like 4 guys in Ohio that work the fields to pay the loans for the farming equipment they have to buy (and aren't allowed to fix).

The corporations own a lot of the farms now too in addition to the farming equipment and the rights to repair that equipment. What happened to American manufacturing happened to American farms. The shareholders and banks own that one now too. Besides, how you gonna keep em down on the farm when the decadence of the city and suburbs are calling.
