I bet we'll get that gift a bit early.
I don't know that those small family farms are really a thing anymore. I think those pretty much went away in the 80s.
Lol no.
I don't mean exactly like that, surely there are newer tactics.
Lol no.
No, because farmers knew each other back then and it was a society transitioning from agrarian to fully industrial. Different values.
They also had a connection to reality that we don't have, they used their hands directly on physical objects, we all think we're Johnny Mnemonic (ever see those stupid SAS vaiya or whatever ads?).
Hell, no. If the word went around that there was an auction, there will always be those who decide to buy their neighbors' land.
During the penny auction times farmers were still poor white folks. Now it is only rich white republicans owning all the farms. They all salivate at the idea of owning all the land around them.
Community isn't like what it was back then. I'm guessing hell no.
They’d grab anyone’s house just like they grabbed the Capitol on Jan 6.
