Thanks @jerrybanfield, have you read the Grapes of Wrath? It is about these American farmers way back in the 18th or 19th century. They were like really, really poor. It is a sad book.

These guys couldn't make it when industrialization came along. You know, big industrial or commercial farming?

But know it feels to me like the world is kind of returning to a pre-industrial revolution age, where people are once again starting to "farm" on their own.

The reason I say that is because it looks to me like the whole factory idea developed into the corporate idea, where people started working in offices, everyone working in cubicles somewhere, like in that show “The Office” with Steve Carrell.

And now people are going back to working for themselves.... the corporate slavery model is just not working and the house of cards, well, it is not holdin' up no more...
