"learn a trade" doesn't really work when mass impoverishment means that a huge chunk of the American economy doesn't have the money to pay for plumbing, HVAC repair, etc. Data centers and other blue collar workers can't fill the demand gap of the pauperization of the white collar economy.

That's because you don't know why things that seemed impossible were actually possible, you're just using "seemed" as a good enough proxy for reality without learning about the things you discuss.
You don't know the difference between something seeming impossible and something being impossible.

No meant more literally "well that would say that" <- you hadn't read the link so you didn't have a "that"

Wait so you said "Well they would say that" and then read it and changed to "No wait they agree with me?"

I disagree; I think the unfortunate price you pay for a progressive city is a certain population of trash burning assholes who are sure they're integral to progress.

I think at this point Will has been so enemy coded by a vocal group here such that at this point even his most mundane actions will be interpreted as villainy.

I think every municipality with a population of less than 10,000 should be flattened by fuel-air bombs, no pamphlet dropping beforehand.

It's not only rural Americans who hold this view! Plenty of urban lefties seem to operate under this assumption too, even as resources are redirected out of their own neighborhoods to the hinterlands bsky.app/profile/elig...
Rural = “real Americans”
Urban = “unreal Americans”.
Narrative.
And because efficiency delivery is lower as population density plummets, unless you flip resources per capita on their head…it “seems” insufficient.
To some.

I think he spent his powder too early. If in 2020 he has positioned himself as more of a powerful part of the party and could offer sharper critique, his charisma would serve him better, his story would be better (I think white gay feels braver in 2026 than it did in 2020)
