re: #653 jaunte

The full thread is more interesting than the first tweet.

It is much more interesting. I’m also not surprised that farmers as business owners make more than the median worker. That’s pretty much the way it goes in any industry. Partners at big firms make more than their associates, partners at small firms make more than their associates (and often times, more than the associates at big firms).

The history of how the land and wealth were acquired is despicable, to say the least. The question is, how do we change things for the better? I’m not sure “creating a whole bunch of much smaller farmers” is necessarily the best answer - could we even treat farmers as monopolies? And if we did,how would we break them up?
