I always thought it was odd that one of the biggest employers in the small town my spouse is from was a combo Pharmacy and shop with an attached doctor's clinic. That Pharmacy and clinic was owned by one of big farm owners in the area and the same family also owned a trucking business.
Sarah TaberYep 100%! That's because those are jobs the local gentry can't gatekeep. So if you ever wondered why local leaders in rural areas keep getting rid of schools & medical services & thought "That makes no sense!" Now you know why they do that. Public services bring people they can't control. 💀
