Just before the French Revolution, there was a fad among the Elite to play "farmer". Marie Antoinette had an imitation farm (not quite a Potemkin Villege) built at Versailles so that she and her friends could "get close to nature" and see how the workers lived.
Our Elite today have a very false sense of nature, do not understand hard work, and do not understand how success is measured in the real world. They are far more like the Ancien Regime than they are like our Founding Fathers.
