I've been watching some of their other videos. He really likes to show off his wife in many of them. They might have some homemade porn videos somewhere.

Let's say 30 people graduate from these local high schools each year, where do they go to work? Only three to five are headed to a university like A&M. Maybe three go to Tech or WTAMU but that's expensive for families on those incomes. Some parents might work in Plainview or Lubbock but as you get out to Paducah, it's a haul to the next city.

Back when a farmer could make a living on 200-400 acres of land, there were hundreds of farm families surrounding those little communities. That required several grocery stores, lumber yards, clothing stores, etc. etc. Lots of places for small business owners, lots of jobs, and all of those support businesses needed places for their employees to shop.

Now that one farm family operates 4,000 acres or more, there are 10s of farm families. To support them you maybe you need one convenience store, one cafe, and everything else is in the Walmart 30 miles away in the big town, or on Amazon.
