So that means the people living in these places don't matter? There were hundreds of houses in these places, enough for 4 churches. I asked people living there.

So that means the people living in these places don't matter? There were hundreds of houses in these places, enough for 4 churches. I asked people living there. They eat nothing but the crap that they sell at the gas station or fast food. These are real people...thousands of them in just the states I went through.
Their quality of life is completely fucking abysmal. Living in these places would be like living in hell.

I really don't believe that statement in any of the places mentioned. Rural areas have a lot of food options other than fast food (heck, often fast food isn't available).
- danso 9y agoI'm saying you might not see schools easily off of the interstate (though it varies by state). I lived in a rural state (Iowa) most of my life, where small town life is pleasant enough that there's an annual bike ride during the summer during which highways are closed off so thousands of people can bike from town to town stuffing themselves with homemade pork chops and pie. You don't see a ton of niceties other than gas stations off of the major interstates because, unsurprisingly, people choose to not live next to heavy truck traffic. Undoubtedly there are people who are not well-off and don't have much choice but to live near freeways and train tracks, but I don't think that means the majority of America is in hellhole conditions.
