My internet service provider, Comcast, has news popups when I login. Today, they had one titled as above. Naturally, I looked to see if my job was one, and I am soon to be history. They had power plant employees...no surprise since the new Washington DC hates fossil fueled anything by his own admission prior to being elected the first time. But here is one that they had on their list, so copied and pasted we have...
Farmers: "Between 2010 and 2020, some 96,100 farmers and ranchers will go out of business, the BLS says. “As land, machinery, seed, and chemicals become more expensive, only well-capitalized farmers and corporations will be able to buy many of the farms that become available,” the BLS predicts. “These larger, more productive farms are better able to withstand the adverse effects of climate and price fluctuations on farm output and income. Farmers can either fight ‘em by niche marketing (think organic produce grown for local restaurants) or join ‘em by moving into farm management for an agribusiness corporation or, for those who like the business side of farming, agriculture consulting. If you’re up for a completely new career, consider agricultural appraising, says Cheryl L. Cooley, communications manager for the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers."
Its of interest here, so I copied and pasted. They left out a lot of factors, like for example, new EPA overregulation on EVERYTHING, but the people heading those top government department positions are hand picked appointments or cabinet approvals, and I will leave it at that.
