Why should they tell me how to do mine, which they are not qualified to do?
If they are so knowledgeable about farming, and think we are all billionaires, then they should get right after it and cash in. The truth is they would starve if they had to produce their own food. Have some acquaintances who live in the city who discovered last summer that you can't grow enough vegetables to last a year on a 10'X10' rented garden spot. And you don't just plant seeds and sit back and wait for harvest, it has to be cared for. Who knew?
One could flip that 180 degrees from urbanites judging farmers to farmers judging urbanites.
You know, those "citiots".
In your last paragraph, repeat that, but like it's an urbanite talking about farmers. Would you give up farming to go cash in on factory work? No. Could you build your own equipment? No. They produce almost everything we use on the farm and in our everyday existence, so it could be said that we couldn't farm without them.
Like it or not we rely just as much on them as they rely on us. Neither is more important than the other. We just do different jobs.
Not trying to get into an argument, just saying it's a 2 way street. |
