What was the name of the Farm, where is it located?

Europe used to have empires. They were run by emperors.
Then we had kingdoms. They were run by kings.
Now we have countries...
Do you apply that same standard to the loader at Home Depot? Or the dockworker?
If my captain of a jetliner looked like that, my first thought might be, "Whose life did HE save that they let him look like that?"
I seriously just don't care about what people look like these days. Our pediatrician has a nose ring. She's also a devout Christian who goes along with our weird "we're not giving you any info that might get reported to the government" demands when we see a doctor. She doesn't force medical opinions on us ... she treats us as equals in the process and knows that we make the final decision. And though she's a pediatrician, my wife and I have been seeing her for adult medical procedures as well. Because finding a doctor you trust is more important than worrying about a tattoo or a nose ring.
If you're an employer like Old Farmer and you've got customers who care about that ... then of course you've got to hire accordingly. But that doesn't require looking down on those who have decided to have a little more adventure with body art than our own generation approved of. Live and let live, I say. They aren't asking YOU to pay for it.
That doesn't bother me, but I can't help having a silent laugh when I see a young woman looking like that and imagining what she'll look like when she isn't pushing 50, but dragging it.

In my area the economy is booming. Almost every brick and mortar business has help wanted signs out front. Lumberyard where I do business (not a big box) interviewed a young guy all tatted up, pierced and sloppy looking. Owner told him if he wasn't desperate for labor he never would have hired him. Told him he had the job, but he needed to clean up. Only lasted 2 weeks. Party culture was first priority in his life according to co workers. So many losers that don't get it.
