Just one example: city people trying to ban guns statewide while rural people live in places with dangerous wildlife (and more) will cause preventable deaths. In a city far more freedom must be curtailed in order for people to tolerate living near each other and rural folk often live out there precisely because they can't be happy making that trade-off.
- fzeroracer 6y agoJust another example: rural people trying to ban mask-wearing statewide while city people live in close proximity will cause preventable deaths. In fact, we see that scenario happening right now here in Texas where cities are not allowed govern. See also: Georgia.
- ninkendo 6y agoYes but why is "city/rural" the only dichotomy anyone bothers to fixate on? Why not skin color? Age? You could just as easily say "old people are trying to pass laws that make lives miserable for young people, we really ought to have fewer representatives for old people", and it would make exactly as much sense as saying the same thing about a geographic location. There are a million different ways you could slice people up into representatives, but we end up settling on geographic location because... reasons, I guess.
