Reply to comment by Malfallaxx in Watching That 70’s Show for the first time and it’s pretty good by Malfallaxx

If you can look past Danny Masterson’s Drama. Check out Netflix’s The Ranch.

It’s legitimately the same cast but with a Colorado ranching theme.

Drama is putting it a little lightly. I really want to see justice, fuck that dude.

No one is ever happy. It’s like misery porn. For five seconds they manage to pull themselves out of the muck and make enough money to pay their power bill or some depressing shit and then someone runs away or has a miscarriage or gets deported.

Plus it’s not just about rednecks, it’s for rednecks. I thought at first it was a show where we laughed at backwards morons who thought that Obama was a socialist, but we’re laughing with the backwards morons about how much of a socialist Obama is. Gross.

It’s 20%, not “most.” We just have to pretend there are a lot of rural Americans (and pretend they contribute a lot to the economy) because they have a lot of political power.

I hope you like food my friend, water too, and lumber, and most factory produced products because it doesn’t come from your rooftop garden.

This again? Yes, I buy those things from rural America, in exchange for money. That’s capitalism - it would be helpful for farmers to learn how it works, instead of relying on billions of dollars of welfare (subsidies), which I also pay.

Which you should pay otherwise you could potentially starve.

Farming is an expensive business. Lucrative yes but it can also devastate you entirely if you have a bad season. Farming is subsided to prevent market crash and maintain consistent soil quality. (Effectively you will be paid not to grow)

Most farmers actually understand economics better than you.
