If you think the populist rural tide that gave us Trump is bad now, imagine what happens if the beef industry in the US collapses. Yes I know this article is mainly to highlight the differences, but I am seriously concerned about the rise of self-driving trucks and plant based "meats" and the damage they will do to communities. The parts of the country hit by this still get to vote.

- opn7d7 7y agoGood thing then the rural majority is over 50, never been more motivated in life than to hold down a boring or body ruining job, and is heavily dependent on liberal economies to prop up those jobs in the first place. Why not just let them live peacefully and automated truck deliver supplies? Why the extra effort of tethering them to the global financial scheme when by all accounts they largely just want to live a basic life? Oh wait right Wall Street profits and growth and disruption, I forgot. Capitalism!
