I fell down an extremely cynical and disheartening rabbit hole of a Facebook feed. I feel this way sometimes and then another way and another and eventually I just figure I should make myself happy. It tends to be individualistic and capitalistic because why would I want a hard life? And so I never think these think pieces really give the answer to how to fix things and is more of a 'just stop doing and feel guilty about it.' - From Farm to Bottle: This Brewery Combines Beer and Agriculture, Modern Farmer
