  • “Too spoiled to do” I hate that phrasing and blame on workers. It used to be that summer farm work could be done by university students or other summer workers. It was always part of the year, part-time work so no one who needed an annual income could afford to do it. However no one in the farming industry wanted to find a way to make full year round jobs out of it or team up with other types of employment so their necessary workers could work the other 6, 7, 8 months of the year somewhere else and survive. They simultaneously want the work to be classed as piecemeal/poverty wage and then also demand workers skilled in the type of farming work that they need. Farmers, as a whole, have only themselves to blame for what is now happening. They supported every step in a several decades long process that has gotten them to today. Sad it has taken them until now to realize that they have created their own demise.



  • Oh I think plenty of smart people “like” Trump. They know that they can manipulate him with ease. One thing he has always been good at is conning the ones who want to believe him. I don’t know if they are actually dumb or just want to believe their worldview no matter how much fact disputes it. Trump is a new breed of politician that will not only stretch the truth but will flat out lie that the sky is yellow, the sun purple and any facts, like your own sight, to the contrary, are fake. It’s easy to dismiss everyone who follows him as ignorant however I know many people who previously seemed sane and rational that somehow have taken leave of their senses to follow him.





  • They have to believe it is a choice. If not, they are equally at risk of losing everything and becoming homeless and that terrifies most people. Picard’s “you can do everything right and still fail” is not something most people want to know. No one wants to be impoverished, homeless, sick, mentally unwell. Instead they find it comforting to believe that this is happening to others simply because that person made the wrong choice. The same happens for success. The one who make it would have everyone believe that if they made the exact same choices, they too would be rich and that opportunity, chance, luck have nothing to do with it.



  • I don’t think your issue is age, it’s more motivation. You may have some ‘baby fever’ but also so say you don’t care one way or another and your husband is at least mildly against. Those are the best reasons why you should not consider children. If you BOTH were really excited to have a child and willing to make whatever changes necessary to have that child, your current ages wouldn’t be a problem.
