“On the jolly greens of the Alpine County, there once a thrived a race of bovid livestock called Bos Taurus Iogurtum, whose extent in size and fine produce were widely well regarded. Said bulls and heifers fetched high yields at auction houses, for famed they were and made rich whoever owned them. They were like living dairy factories in themselves. I wish I owned such a cow to feed fair family of mine. But I don’t. Only corporations do, and they sure nourish themselves voraciously with fucked up profit.”
João Maria Gusmão, quote from in Diaries
