Removing local news has created a hyper focus on national news. People forget about their local communities where a ton is happening.
This isn't good for local communities.
We need more focus on the local. Not everything is national.
- charcircuit 5y agoIn the age of the internet local doesn't matter anymore. I'm now part of a community that spans the globe.
- foobarian 5y agoYeah tell that to the mob when they block roads out of your town and come knocking to raid your house
- charcircuit 5y agoWhy would they do that though? As long as I have internet I don't need roads.
- edgyquant 5y agoThis is completely untrue. You still live next a community and their politics effect you in ways they don’t people living hundreds of miles away. The problem is the internet convinces people they are apart of a global community and it’s all that matters. We need ways for communities to connect with each other that are modern and up to date other than following a local Facebook page.
- charcircuit 5y ago>and their politics effect you in ways they don’t people living hundreds of miles away They don't effect me very much because the government mainly effects the real world and not the internet world.
- edgyquant 5y agoWhat? I’m saying the local government does effect you in every way while it doesn’t effect people in your online community
- CydeWeys 5y agoHigh housing prices (and resultant inequality and homelessness) is one example of a big problem that is caused primarily by local politics. There are no nationwide or statewide laws preventing the construction of sufficient housing to meet demand -- this is all city-level zoning problems caused by local NIMBYs.
- charcircuit 5y agoIf I buy a house I don't have to worry about housing costs.
