AI has broken my husband (okay, there was more leading up to this but AI has made his work life Fucking Infuriating) and he keeps plotting to buy a farm. Not to run away into the middle of nowhere and become a subsistence farmer (an endeavor I would NOT support) but like, a selling produce farmer.
I know a lot of queers that have this fantasy... and my fellow former redneck queers and I tend to make fun of them behind their backs (I'm really sorry but most people who bring this fantasy up would Die after like a single week of farm labor.)
But my husband is not inclined to this kind of nonsense, and has been like researching farm grants and the business end on top of all the growing techniques and shit and y'know...
And he found a pair of retiring farmers who like want to adopt us/already have business connections for sales and shit. So if the financials work out I think it might actually happen??
When a senior software engineer and (alleged) attorney go "fuck this," annihilate their income potential in order to go play in dirt instead.
But y'know, life's too short to only make wise financial decisions.
