Consider this...... Ashton appeared on the cover of Forbes. Turns out he is a great venture capitalist and has funded several successful business ventures and has multiplied his stash many many times.
With regard to business ability there is much there there than one might think.
The Ranch is good TV
Yes, he enjoys the fruits of capitalism while extolling the virtues of those who wish to see it destroyed. He seems to be waking up on some issues, but only as they affect him personally rather than for the common good.
That said, I look forward to a second season of “The Ranch”. Just like “Last Man Standing”, it’s refreshing to see a show that denigrates the current administration.
