FAFO story of the day: Carrie Underwood can't find hired hands to help her with the ranch.

[PJMcK]

47. What an odd story!

A successful entertainer and her formerly successful hockey player husband are worth something like $140 million, at least. They own a 400-acre farm with livestock and agriculture including fruited plants.

Despite her stardom, the successful entertainer cannot find enough labor to tend to her very large property and its contents. The story says that she gets up early and works late doing farm chores. The story doesn't indicate if her husband assists with these chores. It also doesn't say why she cannot keep farmhands employed on her farm.

Since the story is basically a poor-little-rich-girl tale of the woes of the rich and famous and it lacks any specificity or explanations of the circumstances, I'm uncertain as to why it was published. Who cares? If the farm is too much for her, Ms. Underwood should just sell it to someone who can run it efficiently.

There are several implications between the lines of the reporting-- if by reporting you mean ass-kissing of celebrities-- that are suggested by our current cultural and political circumstances. For example, were her farmhands so-called "illegals" illegally arrested by the Trump Administration? Does she offer competitive wages? Why can't she and her husband run the farm? Do they lack the management skills?

Once again, yahoo! news is nothing but fizz.
