No, it sounds arrogant and privileged to make it sound as if only farmers have worked hard for generations. We all have.

  Saying you worked hard has nothing to do with privilege. You’re repeating some of the words you heard elsewhere out of context. And unlike you, farming families invested almost everything they made back into the farm, for their children, in order to see it continue. And the children (like me) who don’t continue on that farm all have to agree that a large part of their inheritance is gifted to the brother or sister who does. That’s something you only see in well run family companies. The entire family wants to see it succeed. That’s one reason why the BBB got a lot more votes anyone expected. Nearly everyone in NL is related to a farming family and they have gathered a lot of sympathy because arrogant unsympathetic politicians and citydwellers are bashing their heritage and preying on their land.

    > You’re repeating some of the words you heard elsewhere out of context. That is quite an arrogant claim, sir. You know not me, nor which words or contexts I consumed.

      You certainly addressed the substance of my comment here.

        You made assumptions and accusations about me ("Unlike you, ...") that I see no point in honoring that with any further comment.
