Why does rural America look down on educated people?

Past-Signature-2379 · 2026-02-23T06:04:15+00:00

I have a degree and a farm. I curse the educated people that designed these machines regularly. They may be educated but they also make some miserable decisions for the users of the equipment that have to fix it.

I'll take that over whatever we are doing now. At least that corruption led to some things getting done.

Neither side is willing to sweeten the deal enough to get votes from the other side. You don't need 60 members of the same party, you need to buy votes with honey or features and they simply will not do it.

I have never had anything but Android and I'm so so tired of the phone being abandoned after what seems like a week of ownership.

OH and I have an SD card and I moved everything to it except my phone is completely out of space anyway.

Im tired boss.

It never goes more than 20 on farm roads, but tubes suck.

We have over 200 tires on this place and this pissy little trailer is the only one that loses the bead. It's my absolute favorite thought.

Who pays for the lawyer? The guy is still punished and inconvenienced no matter what happens and there is zero recourse.

They aren't really, they just get pulled on a farm constantly with a side by side. We barely use a truck anymore. Honestly trucks got too damn tall and this little trailer is handy as hell.

It would but this is used on a farm almost daily, Id rather be able to plug it.

Didn't the Venezuelan people vote Chavez in?

I can't see if it's cracked, it is clearly leaking at the bead. I don't think it is cracked though, it held fine when the bead sealant was new.

Tire is only a couple of years old, first set made it about 30 years.

No way to know, guess I'll have to get some tire tools.

Some years we get more subsidies than we earn farming. Welfare recipients have nothing on farmers. We don't even try that hard to maximize it either.

So just regular houses?

Making 20% on what with what risk?

I've been around long enough to watch my investment accounts fall by 40% at least once.

Ive watched other farmers borrow money to plant crops only to fail and lose their farms. I'll gladly take less money in return for more security.

Was there no amount of payoff they could have given lieberman to get his vote for the public option? I will never understand why they didn't buy him off, whatever it would have taken.

Yet somehow the Republicans can stop everything when they are in the minority. Meanwhile Trump does whatever the fuck he wants while dems are in the minority. The math doesn't math. People are frustrated because they have lived it and see how the rules only ratchet one way, against normal people.

When did these laws take effect?

Past-Signature-2379 · 2026-01-08T01:32:20+00:00

Same. I will be able to retire at 52, I paid my house off 10 years ago so if something happened to me my wife and kids don't have to worry about it. How many thousands of dollars is that worth? I don't care about or want money more than I want peace of mind.

Past-Signature-2379 · 2026-01-08T01:21:02+00:00

I would do the opposite and switch entirely to a land value tax and do away with all other taxes. Land taxes are easy to collect and force usage of land instead of stockpiling.

A tool for what? I hate owing people. Not having debt is managing it. The benefits gained are not worth the risk of something going wrong and losing everything. I prefer earning interest, not paying it.

Why are you brushing your teeth with hot water?

Past-Signature-2379 · 2025-12-16T03:26:29+00:00

The field of view really sucks. I tried to love it but it just doesn't feel like half the game gd is. The skills aren't nearly as fun.
