30. BINGO! fields in Ventura County are some of the most productive in the US, possibly the world.

So many farmers lost their lands due to the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. Those who managed to get back to farming worked damned hard, were good neighbors and trusted friends. Time passed, land changed hands, but that land in that perfect climate is STILL extremely productive. Of course BIG AG wants independents off that land.

Lived there for years and this is breaking my heart. Can't imagine what those farmers and farm workers are feeling now. Any, you, America, you are about to suffer more than you can imagine. Think Big Oil is a problem when they have you by the gas tank? I've been preaching for decades that BIG AG is coming for your bellies.

This is NOT about gangs, criminals, drugs, violent brown people. It's about screwing EVERYBODY
