I find any connection to the Rocketfailure name disconcerting

Yes, when I first read the article and saw that name as an advocate I just assumed she was embedded to report on them. Interesting take on centralized and decentralized systems. Using one to defeat the other is not the answer.
I am currently reading a book about how the history of US educational curriculum evolved and of course the major players were sponsored by Rockefeller’s University of Chicago and Yale’s Teachers College’s earlier years.

Usually I am leery of anyone with that type of pedigree; however, I have read of an occasional Rockefeller heir renouncing their family money & influence - one worked as a social worker, etc. Some years ago, I had a Quaker friend who gave me a book about people who’d been born into prominent and/or wealthy families who walked away from all of it.

Clearly Abby retained her property, but her interest in raw milk may be genuine … I think CAF has some wealthy friends or former clients who don’t have the usual elitist attitudes, or so I think she’s implied…

Yeah seems we’ve been fed nothing but bad marks whenever the Rockefeller name is dropped and are supposed to equate the two, which in itself without the facts is not good thinking. Seems a quick and dirty method to form stereotypes as a cognitive tool.

If she is able to use her wealth for good things I welcome that. Otherwise her wealth and any inheritance was built on the backs of others, stealing their lives. It’s not her money and she and all others like her that knowingly benefited by enormous corruption and theft with controlling systems still doing it, should dedicate their lives to giving it back to those they stole it from - their living descendants.
