The guy is a TV production genius.

Brilliant series! Shows the leaden hand of bureaucracy stifling enterprise.

I've been watching it since it debuted several years ago.  If you ever want to learn about how box checking government nerds are ruining our lives, this show will make it clear.  And the kid who helps him is a real farmer, but central casting couldn't have done better. and a Lamborghini tractor says it all.

A sane policy that allows the economy to thrive is vital to a country sandwiched between an aggressive Russia and a daft Europe intent on political/economic suicide.

Sweden would be one of the models for a small country like NZ or even Australia, but alas.
