Urbanization is the wrong approach anyway. Ruralization is the only way. I'm relatively rural right now and I'm looking to increase my Rural Factor by at least a doz in the next decade.

People don't want the truth. It's why we elected Reagan, it's why we elected Bush, and it's why we elected Trump. They want to be told what they already believe.

finally, someones saying it! the problem with neoliberalism is there's too many welfare queens and not enough tax cuts for job creators!!

Show me where I said anything about tax cuts to job creators. I just want liberals to give the conservatives what they actually want when it comes to welfare, in their states. Maybe after several months, they would have different opinions?

also, lol that your solution is literally for rural people to uproot themselves from their support bases and families to go be homeless in seattle till they can (hopefully) establish themselves in seattle. that's not a frightening prospect at all, i mean look at how easy it is to get off the streets!

btw, what are rural people with wives/husbands and children supposed to do? abandon them to go live on the streets of seattle till they make enough at mcdonalds to bring them to the big wonderful liberal city? also, i wonder if being arrested for vagrancy will have any effect on rural person's ability to pull themselves up by their bootstraps

I'm literally using conservative ideas & ideals, are you saying they aren't very good?

I don't even live in a rural area. I'm an hour from New York City by bus in New Jersey, which has some of the most deprived areas in the country despite being close to a major hub city of commercial and economic activity! Imagine that :monocle:

flagstaff seems a bit small honestly, it's mostly retail work and USFS and NPS jobs (oh gently caress, that's d e d). phoenix and tucson are basically the only places to live if you want the meager work that exists in this state.

also, gently caress you prescott, you californian infested water-poor idiot land that grew massively.

Airline memberships are like $50 and usually save anywhere between $100-$200 on their first use alone. You've spent at least $30 on these forums.

I realize that the journey is a difficult one, but it is obtainable. Unfortunately, it is the country we live inb& I don't see that changing in the near future. Consider setting up long term goals, if nothing else. It's better than trying to survive out there.
