[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1780760, member: 42715"] Can understand how you feel. It’s been tough for most of the US workers these past 30 years, especially the American rancher. I’m the last one in my family to own land. And it’s hurt to watch how the pandemic has caused so many kids to not even finish high school and such. That’s going to really hurt our future generation’s ability to fend off even further modernizations. And I’m not convinced that inflating land prices is going to lead to sustainable growth either. Seems like we’re just borrowing future profits. I think lots of the chaos of the past ten years is because year after year so many Americans have watched for a few generations as ways of life slowly became unsustainable, largely because of those corporations you mentioned and also because the US government is so easily induced to work for those who are elite in terms of education and money, as well as foreign interests. I hope the rebalancing goes well, but even today, that seems highly unlikely. Did not mean to imply that you aren’t facing a pretty tough war zone when it comes to the cattle business. Also surprised that I also need to think understanding these aspects of our world also come into play when doing something that would seemingly be unrelated, like raising cattle. Complicated world. I’m telling my kids that school is very important! But recently the US has seemed to work a bit for the cattlemen. Some of largest importers of US beef are now Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, I think. And it seems that Biden kind of strangled a few factories out of some chip companies this year. Hopefully they’ll keep at it. Lots of people SHOULD be upset on the economic front, IMO. Not because we are not rich, but because there is not a more logical, representative playing field. [/QUOTE]
