A lot of the changes in our economy favor a wealthy elite. Fewer workers are needed to produce more products, so the demand for labor is lower, leading to lower wages. Industry is capital intensive, and now capital can move jobs from country to country, always seeking the best "deal" ( low wages ). Workers can't move so easy, and it disrupts families and communities.

There are very few small farms around anymore, and a small farm is maybe 1000 acres? A few folks are trying to scratch out a living doing organic stuff, but it is hard work for little pay, and most give up after a few years. The local JD dealer knows his customers as they walk in the door. He should, there are only a few big operations left.

I don't know what the answers are anymore. I am not sure of the questions!!
