But they wouldn't be doing fine for long. Inevitably, policy would be structured that made those communities less able to fend for themselves. It always happens--structures of control always seek more control, and more people in fewer places means easier to control.
I'm afraid we're talking past each other--your arguments are about economics, mine concern the right to self-determination.
- ideonexus 9y agoI don't think we are really talking past each other. To me this an issue of self-determination as well. I lived in a small town completely lacking employment opportunities for 10 years. The kids who were able to move out got careers, those who couldn't are stuck working in the service industry. With a little government assistance, they could move to where the careers are. I regret the blunt, clinical way I communicated this in my original post.
