Way to completely miss the anecdotal point about rural cultural decay. You can point to a chart showing rising wage growth all day, but if it's happening at the expense of long-lived communities being hollowed out, you're effectively celebrating peoples' destitution.

It is incredible how Internet armchair technocrats will attempt to reduce human existence to a few equations and wonder why broader populations despise the Ivory Tower.




Rural existence is already subsidized by urban dwellers, I dunno what more they expect


I think it's the other way around.


Wow, I’ve never heard this sort of urban elitism before! Is it common?


Please elaborate further on what you mean by the phrasing of "Rural existence is already subsidized...."

I'm uncertain if I missed the sarcasm or perhaps more likely my lack of comprehension.
