For many years federal and state government regulations have been piling up to make it more and more difficult for a traditional small family farm to stay afloat.
I have always thought it was more than a coincidence that stringent regulations were forcing these really small farms to shut down.
My grandparents had to shut down their small dairy farm and give it up because the renovations and equipment the government required for the cows and to handle and store the milk would cost more than the farm was valued at.
And the government environmental people were making them shut down the spring fed water cooler where they had always cooled and stored the raw milk. In their younger days they sold raw milk, cream and butter direct from the farm to the consumer but of course the government (working hand-in-glove with the big dairy co-ops) put a stop to that.
They want to tax and regulate all of us into the cities.
And keep making our money more worthless, and more people on food stamps and unemployment.
So we can be dependant on the government.
Can you imagine how they could control the masses just by shutting off utilities for a couple of days in a densly occupied part of a city?
Some of those giant apartment skyscrapers must have thousands of people in them.
A couple of days with out elec, gas etc and people will get pertty antsy.
Expecially those on the top floors that don’t do stairs that well.
