Evidently not, because I have no idea what any of that meant.
I was just making an observation that farmers and ranchers don't have the market cornered on being "lucky to break even". There are lots of folks in that predicament.
Self-employed compared to a paid salary are too completely different things.
Some who makes $800 a week and barely breaks even, is living above their means. When someone self employeed and the market decides good/bad year its different.
