    There are Americans who own chickens and Americans who’ve never touched one. It’s a big country. This post applies mostly to city folk.

      This post applies mostly to city folk.

      The ones subsidizing the rest of the country. You think Cletus has health insurance while he cosplays as a farmer think his 600 dollar a month land tax is paying for his 4 kids in school? 9 out of 50 states pay federal taxes and those states all happen to have the biggest cities.

      But hey I get it. My parents were cosplay farmers as well. Here I am working like a schmuck for a living.

        My man, if people want to own a couple chickens it’s not that serious.

        The rural welfare states are really a separate issue from that.

        I do find it funny that conservative states are so anti-welfare when their existence depends on it though.

          I don’t get upset about people having a hobby, I encourage it. Just you know because you have fun doing something doesn’t mean the rest of us have to subsidize your hobby. I enjoy baking that doesn’t mean I get to quit my job and do it full time and depend on the government to pay me for it.

          Knew a lot of families like mine growing up. Want to get a real job? No? Ok go back to failing at potatoes, and spend all your free time hunting while drunk.

      I live in a major American city maybe 4 miles from downtown and I have a farm with fresh eggs and produce a block from my house.
