Can you expand on this? Is it because you don't care about farmers in comparison to industrial workers, or is there a deeper meaning?
- jonknee 8y agoKansas was never bustling, the rust belt was.
- sverige 8y agoDid you live there? There was a definite vibrancy to the network of small towns in the Midwest that is being lost, similar to the rust belt. The cultures were very different, though, so perhaps one person's "bustling" is another's unmentionable adjective.
