America’s wealthiest people are also some of the world’s biggest polluters – not only because of their massive homes and private jets, but because of the fossil fuels generated by the companies they invest their money in.

Lol Russian trolls rarely get banned spreading lies (that you endorse), but yeah somehow that's more leftist than a literal socialist platform. You must be new. You'll find out that magats are not welcome here.

"We don't want more people to come here" lmao... As if the racism-with-a-smile dynamic here isn't the reason people absolutely do not want to move there. That and the economic wasteland that is small town America. I would know, I waited until I was almost 30 to gtfo of a hellhole like that. Over the years I've almost never heard of a story from someone from my high school who stayed in the area who didn't die, ruin their lives with drugs, or go to jail. Even the rich kids followed this pattern for the most part, unless they moved away.

Funny you mention Walmart like that's a city thing lol... "People are fleeing". Yeah I'm sure that because the pandemic happened I'm sure that will undo 150 years of trending toward life in cities.

Yeah you can have your acre. I'll take having employment options, culture, not being a fatass, and not just the false sense of security, an actual one. Crime is far higher per capita in small towns. Which again, my life is 1000 times better because I left. I don't have to be poor and surrounded by misery, obesity, and insanely ignorant takes. I'll never go back. But if that's your thing enjoy it. Try not to get shot by a meth head in the middle of nowhere...
