We haven’t “lost” the idea that our people should get the best. We’ve been sold out.

I’m a farmer and we are suffering right now as bad as we did in the 80’s. We are barely able to put food on our tables and we work 6:30am-8:30pm 7 days a week. I’m a single father raising a 5 year old daughter all alone so it makes it even harder on me running my farm. It’s so scary.

I majored in physics in college so I didn’t learn economics from university professors. I got my masters in accountancy and then worked at one of the big four public accounting firms. The senior on one of my jobs legit thought that it was perfectly fine that America was only a service economy. I said that it was ridiculous to do that because it didn’t diversify our portfolio as a nation and wouldn’t counter any risks (something that’s drilled into us in accounting). He gave me a tortured sour face. I don’t think people understand how badly economics is being taught in the universities. It’s really a disaster.
