There's something so weird about seeing HN readers saying "I'd love to live on a subsistence farm" when there's so many people in the world struggling to survive on the food they farm themselves.
- ip26 8y agoHN readers are mostly imagining growing botique organic heirloom vegetables and that sort of thing- high end, high margins, very possibly as a hobby farm. Nobody here writing about how they want to work on a farm is imagining monocropping ten thousand acres of corn or living hand to mouth subsistence farming. IMO.
