I know - the extreme majority of them are in rural areas where you'd have to drive a couple hours to get to a grocery store. My MIL lives in one.
Guess how they get most food? All that super-cheap rural land.
- t-writescode 1y agoAre you suggesting that impoverished people with low income jobs and extreme hours should spend some of their missing time … farming?
- nradov 1y agoIt's an observation, not a suggestion. That's literally how many low-income (not impoverished) people live in rural areas. They grow (and hunt) some food at home but not enough to be self-sufficient, and also have a regular job. Sometimes those jobs involve working long hours at peak times. This is a pretty normal lifestyle.
