Instead of having thousands of families eking out a modest but sustainable life, you have a handful of corporate entities and their shareholders making millions. Simple unfettered capitalism at work again (and I believe in the power of capitalism, but not without some boundaries).

For perspective, my dad and uncle were forced to sell my grandfather's farm and equipment when my grandfather got sick and he needed 24 hr care. My grandfather had sold the cows years before, but I have lots of good memories of visiting them and helping out during the summers.
