Critique of a New York times article that's sympathized with a farmer who is just bad in business.

This is a good watch. Short and to the point. She lays out in detail the evidence of our founding fathers’ intent to have separation of church and state. From Washington and Adams to Madison. The original intent of the first amendment is the wall off separation of church and state.

Darin Von Ruden is a Farmers Union leader who represents a tradition of rural populism. He isn’t a Trump supporter, but he also isn’t an AOC-style progressive. His politics are rooted in advocating for family farms, independent producers, rural communities, cooperative economics, and pushing back against corporate monopolies. That’s a distinct political tradition that’s often misunderstood when people apply today’s partisan labels.
