Farmers actually make and do things, and the women learn all the same, to help.
Cities are filled with people who can't get high school diplomas and/or welfare recipients.
Those who live in the country and don't farm work jobs in towns and cities, and can still hold degrees, but were smart enough to escape living in the locations they work.
If you look at the history of technology, the guys who invented stuff in America grew up on farms, including the cyclotron and the integrated circuit.
The best submarine officers I knew grew up on farms - they knew how to fix things and they knew how to improvise.
City folks these days think that the summum bonum is a degree in public policy from Georgetown University or some equivalent. An ivy league degree only means you got accepted, which you did by telling everyone how socially aware you were from when you were in diapers. And those folks grow up hating folks who know how to do stuff.
Look who is one of the most inventive people on this planet today - Musk - and look at who hates him and how much. If it weren't for the fact that destroying him would set space force and NASA back about 30 years he would have been gone already. If the military needs to put something into space, like tomorrow, who ya gonna call. Deepstate Aerorspace Inc. - like after you spend 5 years studying and validating requirements you can start negotiating a contract to start building something.
I like in DC. On my neighborhood blog they are all like - what happened that we suddenly have people shooting people and in our neighborhood. Must be they need more handouts or we need to find something fulfilling for them. They like 96% voted for this $4iT and they still don't get cause and effect - which is because they are all incompetent.
