We should support the rural lifestyle choice. For one, the food you eat comes from there.

Food doesn't come from remote mountainous areas. Farm fields may not have cell service but living way out there isn't required even for farmers. I grew up on a farm so it's funny when people on the internet try to educate me about farms as if I've never heard of them.

  >Food doesn't come from remote mountainous areas. I must be imagining the farms that I pass in the mountains in the middle of nowhere when I go backpacking. Surely your argument isn't, "My farm was here, so it's impossible for other farms to be in different locales"?

    Surely you aren't arguing "I once saw a farm in the mountains, therefore small remote mountain farms are critical to our food supply"?

      The large trucks being loaded with crops for delivery elsewhere should suggest that it contributes to the greater food supply, yes. Further... >I once... My phrasing did not suggest "one time" (the phrase was "I pass", suggesting regularity), and it's not just one single farm, it's a few, and I've passed them many times. I have to agree with someone else[1] about your using vocabulary that others haven't introduced - I question whether or not a good faith discussion can be had because of that. Have a good one!

  We should still be supportive of people who want to live in the mountains. I'd like to think that we as a society enable people to live how they want to live. Given that technology has allowed us to deploy broadband internet access pretty much anywhere, there is no good reason to deny them of e.g. web-based banking just because of some stupid SMS confirmation. Hardware 2FA keys are cryptographically superior AND usable by people in the mountains.
