I met a farmer who was bitching about welfare and how people should do some proper work to make a proper wage.
Yeah. Dude worked his entire life. Yeah, dude worked hard on his farm to make it make money.
Dude is completely OBLIVIOUS that he was handed a multi-million $$$ farm with basic equipment from his father, taught by his father how to run the farm since an early age, never had to train himself, pay for education, or start from nothing.
So yeah… some of them do work hard all their lives, but are completely tone-deaf to the fact they were given the tools to do so in the first place.
Dude probably gets tons of farm subsidies from the government, too. But that doesn’t count as “welfare” because the people who get welfare are “urban”.
This is even researched by letting people play Monopoly and giving one person aan advantage, like double money at start. Usually the advantaged one wins and will attribute that win on their great strategy or something.
Well I wouldn’t take farmers as an example for someone rich doing nothing. They usually work their ass off 7 days a week and live quite in poverty. They have a lot of assets but no money to spend. The cast majority of them at least
A farmer who was handed a multi-million dollar farm at birth is still significantly more advantaged than a staggering majority of people, doesn’t mean they dont work hard, but it would take most people all the good years of their lives working just as hard or harder to build up to where that farmer started. Assuming they even make it to that point.

And they make something that they just get rid of rather than distribute to other countries that could use them. The amount of waste is astounding.
Funnily enough. Both, per capita and per volume, billionaires are the number 1 recipient of state welfare.

Potentially true of the small family farm perhaps, but that’s a dying breed. Many farms are owned by large groups these days.
In France, a majority of farmers don’t meet the minimum salary
