Indeed, most of us are buts cogs in the machine they've built. Would I be any different were I wealthy? I'd like to think so as I lament the fact that the current generation is receiving a less comprehensive and less well-rounded (and less well-funded!) education, but that, too, is part of the plan.

"I built this" seems to be the mantra of these folks. Yet where would they be were it not for the folks helping to run their businesses? The complaint of being unable to find talented individuals to help them maintain their businesses and lifestyles is only going to get more strident and, perhaps for some, the reason why this is so may begin to encroach upon their awareness. But only some, I fear, and too few at that.

Infrastructure+Labor Force+Freedom+Wealth=Greed+Avarice+Exploitation. The only reason they are “off grid” is because it would cost more money to run electricity lines and they can still have their propane generator in a shed run 24/7. Ha! Cottonwood Environmental Law are good folks to support in MT, btw. Y’all need to increase your property taxes significantly!
