        As with tvtropes once you click in, there’s a gravity well effect where you have to fight to climb out

        Much needed. Never been a part of the American mythos more in need of demythologizing. It’s like wolf of Wall Street stuff but in sheep’s clothing.

        i guess given that <2% of the population is involved in agriculture nowadays it is probably more than a couple degrees removed from most people's experience, ie lots of oligopoly and very little scrutiny

        (well, the oligopoly is perennial but maybe the lack of scrutiny is historically newish)

        This is the ag deep dive I’ve been looking for without knowing it. Challenges narratives I’ve heard routinely in Wisconsin. Thanks for sharing!
