“I haven’t seen anyone from the government in eight years…”
from Sovereign Man:
“Hey I just wanted to let you know, a guy from the local government was here today…”
That was one of the first phone calls I received from the manager of this place just a few days after I had taken over this farm a couple of years ago.
A visit from the government seemed harmless enough. My friends back in the US who were farmers always complained about incessant, nonstop visits from various federal, state, and local agencies ranging from immigration to census workers to food inspectors.
“How often do they come around?” I asked, hoping the answer would be something like ‘monthly’ or ‘quarterly’.
“I haven’t seen anyone from the government in eight years…”
