The systems of capitalism work especially well on a local and regional level ; but capitalism has reached its extreme in the United States .

You have a wonderful thing going here and a great channel. In the past year I’ve learned more collectively than probably the previous 20. Im a large dairy producer with for a well know group in the Great Lakes Region and in 2020 we volunteered to make drastic changes to our operation including dumping milk just to ensure our smaller partners had room at the table through these tough times. A few months ago my oldest son (16) made the observation that I never smile anymore, he asked if I wasn’t happy farming anymore. For the first time in my life I couldn’t answer that question. My family has been milking cows here since before Michigan was a state. The thought of not milking cows is like thinking about giving up breathing. Anyone who farms especially a many generation family farm knows the feeling. The amount of smiling you do in your videos is inspirational! I have found myself lately looking for opportunities to smile or laugh…hell maybe both simultaneously even. Please keep doing what you do and sharing it with the KZbin community. Your optimism and those occasional jokes will keep my comfort back! -FFB
