The land owner would let the sharecropper plant in the land it owned and it got a share of the crops the sharecropper harvested.
The sharecropper would also use the landowner mill to grind the grain and would pay in kind.
It went well, until one day the sharecroppers moved to the cities and the land owner lost the bodies he sucked.
I always understood ilmarinen's mention of share-cropping term related to someone who owns the infrastructure is too lazy to "farm", or doesn't know how to, doesn't want to sell out, since he sees as the source of all power.
A DT, FT, BT or Baby Bells are in this class: clinging to a valuable asset that can be better "farmed" in the hands of someone else.
NOK sells infrastructure the "landowners". It has their interests at heart. Ilmarinnen may have a different view on your question than that I wrote, but he'll not say it in plain English.
He would talk about the sex of the angels, the effect of the sunstorm on the man in the moon marigold and you would be left more clueless than what you are presently, feeling that you have 50% of a Neuron, if it can be split into two. :-) |
