My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

You really don't seem to be grasping how remote work works at all. All you need is a room indoors (unless the weather is good) and a computer with Internet access.

But if you have no skills for those jobs, you can work other jobs in person, by commuting to nearby towns. This is nothing new, and if you didn't realize this, it has been occurring for quite a number of years already. In my rural area, I could drive around and see many nice valuable homes that people have obtained by having been gainfully employed. It's the reality of millions of rural American already. We get to live nice comfy lives in affordable living conditions because we don't buy into the big city bullshit lifestyles.

Someone doesn't understand why low income areas are low income, while using examples of high income earners living in low income areas. Your determination to make a point in spite of your ignorance is amusing, it's like you're trying to pretend poor people don't exist, kind of pathetic really.

No, it's you who doesn't understand what the real world looks like. I've lived years and years in poverty, with those poor people you're talking about.

You're ignorant of the whole world that exists outside of overpriced high population areas.

I am those poor people you fucking moron. Stop assuming your ignorance as as good as other people's knowledge.
