Those are more like lifestyles than jobs — and they aren't getting paid either, they keep begging the state for subsidies. No one's ever getting paid, all "jobs" are made up 😢

A 2021 study by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization found $540 billion was given to farmers every year between 2013 and 2018 in global subsidies.
Governments keep sponsoring this bunch of botanists-speleologists! They've been leeching off taxes paid by honest crypto-investors and OnlyFans models for years!

Yeah, farmers might be way better at it than Windows sysadmins… Or not — on the surface, they might posses a more useful skillset, but would they be able to put up a good fight for long enough if their John Deere shit suddenly breaks down, if there is no fuel, no electricity, no fertilisers? I'm honestly not sure — they would probably still have to re-learn a lot, same as those with "useless" professions 🤷
